7 Ways You Can Buy Car Insurance for Less in Rye Beach

I can't think of anyone who likes having to buy car insurance, particularly when they are paying too much. Because you have many different company options, it can be hard to find the cheapest insurer.

Policy discounts you shouldn't miss

Companies don't always advertise all available discounts very well, so here is a list both the well known and the harder-to-find ways to save on car insurance. If you don't get every credit you qualify for, you are paying more than you should be.

  • Homeowners Savings - Owning a home in Rye Beach may earn you a small savings due to the fact that maintaining a home requires personal responsibility.
  • Good Student - This discount can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
  • Accident Forgiveness - Some insurance companies will allow you to have one accident before hitting you with a surcharge so long as you haven't had any claims for a particular time prior to the accident.
  • Braking Control Discount - Vehicles equipped with ABS or steering control can reduce accidents and will save you 10% or more.
  • Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a break if you buy auto and life insurance together.
  • Save with a New Car - Buying coverage on a new vehicle can cost up to 25% less due to better safety requirements for new cars.
  • Paperless Signup - A handful of insurance companies may give you up to $50 for buying your policy online.

As a disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the price of certain insurance coverages like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, car insurance companies aren't that generous.

Save $429 a year? Really?

Consumers in New Hampshire can't ignore all the ads for cheaper car insurance by Allstate, GEICO and Progressive. All the companies make the same claim about savings after switching to their company.

But how can every company claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

All the different companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that makes them money. An example of a profitable customer might be over the age of 50, a clean driving record, and chooses high deductibles. Any new insured who matches those parameters gets the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save a lot of money.

Consumers who don't qualify for this ideal profile must pay higher rates which leads to the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "drivers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That is how companies can truthfully state the savings. This illustrates why you should get a wide range of price quotes. It's just too difficult to predict which company will give you the biggest savings.

Insurance agents can help

When buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no "best" method to buy coverage. Everyone's situation is unique so this has to be addressed. For example, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation may require specific advice.

  • When do I need to add a new car to my policy?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in New Hampshire?
  • Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?
  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • Should I file a claim if it's only slightly more than my deductible?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

In the end, you save

Cheap car insurance can be sourced both online and also from your neighborhood Rye Beach agents, and you should be comparing both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies may not provide online price quotes and usually these smaller companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

We just covered some good ideas how to save on car insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better likelihood of reducing your rate.

When buying insurance coverage, do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In too many instances, someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price while not skimping on critical coverages.
