Is there truth in advertising?

Consumers in Montana can't ignore all the ads that promise big savings by companies like State Farm, GEICO and Progressive. They all seem to have a common claim that you'll save big if you change to them.

How do they all claim to save you money? This is how they do it.

Different companies are able to cherry pick for the type of driver that makes them money. For instance, a desirable insured might be between the ages of 30 and 50, has no driving citations, and has great credit. A customer getting a price quote that hits that "sweet spot" gets the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to cut their rates substantially.

Potential customers who don't measure up to the "perfect" profile will have to pay higher prices and this can result in the customer not buying. Company advertisements say "drivers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save money. That's the way companies can advertise the savings. Because of the profiling, you need to get quotes from several different companies. It's impossible to know which auto insurance company will give you the biggest savings.

More detailed Montana auto insurance information is located at the Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance website. Visitors are able to get help finding coverage, find out which companies have the most complaints, find disaster information, and discover disciplinary actions.

In the end, you save

Discount auto insurance is attainable both online and with local Victor insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. There are still a few companies who do not offer online price quotes and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

As you prepare to switch companies, you should never reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many cases, someone sacrificed collision coverage and learned later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your aim should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price.
