Why some people pay less for insurance in Verona Beach

An important part of buying insurance is that you know the rating factors that go into determining the rates you pay for car insurance. Knowing what influences your rates allows you to make educated decisions that can help you get lower car insurance prices.

  • Poor driving leads to higher costs - Good drivers have lower premiums than bad drivers. Only having one speeding ticket can increase rates by as much as thirty percent. Drivers who get serious violations such as DWI, reckless driving or hit and run convictions may be required to file a SR-22 to the state department of motor vehicles in order to continue driving.
  • Rural vs Urban Areas - Residing in a rural area has it's advantages when talking about car insurance. Drivers in populated areas have congested traffic and longer commutes to work. Less people living in that area means fewer accidents and a lower car theft rate.
  • Mature drivers pay less - Youthful drivers in New York are statistically proven to be less responsible when driving so they pay higher car insurance rates. Adding a teenage driver to your policy can break the bank. More mature drivers tend to be more responsible, tend to file fewer claims and receive fewer citations.
  • How many coverages with the same company - Most car insurance companies give discounts to insureds who carry more than one policy in the form of a multi-policy discount. Even with this discount, you still need to compare rates to make sure you are getting the best deal.
  • Being married can save on car insurance - Getting married can actually save you money on your car insurance policy. Marriage is viewed as being more mature and it's proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.

But I don't know anything about car insurance

  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in New York?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
  • What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in New York?
  • What are New York no-fault laws?

If it's difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with an agent. If you don't have a local agent, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.

Car insurance ads bend the truth

Consumers in New York can't get away from ads for car insurance savings by companies like State Farm and Allstate. All the ads make the same claim that you can save if you switch to them.

How does each company claim to save you money?

All companies have a preferred profile for the type of driver that is profitable for them. A good example of a preferred risk might be between the ages of 40 and 55, has no prior claims, and has excellent credit. Any new insured who matches those parameters will get very good rates and most likely will save when switching.

Drivers who fall outside these standards will be charged higher premiums which leads to the customer not buying. The ads say "customers that switch" not "people who quote" save money. This is how insurance companies can make those claims. That is why drivers must get a wide range of price quotes. It's just too difficult to predict which insurance companies will have the lowest rates.

A tidy conclusion

We just covered many ideas to compare car insurance prices online. The key thing to remember is the more you quote, the better your chances of lowering your rates. You may even discover the lowest priced car insurance comes from the least-expected company.

While you're price shopping online, it's very important that you do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many cases where consumers will sacrifice collision coverage and discovered at claim time they didn't purchase enough coverage. Your goal should be to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford, not the least amount of coverage.

Lower-priced car insurance is available both online and with local Verona Beach insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
