Windthorst Auto Insurance For Less Than You're Paying Now

Cutting costs on Windthorst auto insurance is nearly impossible for consumers new to comparing rates online. You have so many companies to choose from that it can quickly become more work than you anticipated to compare prices in Windthorst.

It's important to compare rates before your policy renews because insurance rates are constantly changing. If you had the best price a couple years back you will most likely find a better rate today. Block out anything you think you know about auto insurance because we're going to demonstrate one of the easiest ways to buy cheaper auto insurance.

How much can you save with discounts?

Companies that sell car insurance don't necessarily list every available discount very clearly, so we took the time to find both well-publicized and the harder-to-find auto insurance savings. If you're not getting every credit available, you are throwing money away.

  • Multi-policy Discount - If you have multiple policies with one company you will save approximately 10% to 15%.
  • No Accidents - Claim-free drivers can save substantially compared to drivers who are more careless.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you may reduce your total bill.
  • Discount for Life Insurance - Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase auto and life insurance together.
  • Defensive Driving Course - Taking part in a course in driver safety could save 5% or more if you qualify.
  • Resident Student - Children who attend school more than 100 miles from home without a vehicle on campus can receive lower rates.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire cost. Most only cut the price of certain insurance coverages like comprehensive or collision. So even though they make it sound like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you won't be that lucky.

Save 15 percent in 15 minutes? Is it for real?

Texas consumers get pounded daily by advertisements for the lowest price auto insurance by Allstate and Progressive. All the ads say the same thing about savings if you move to their company.

How does each company make almost identical claims? This is how they do it.

All the different companies can use profiling for the driver that earns them a profit. For example, a preferred risk could possibly be between 25 and 40, is a homeowner, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A driver who fits that profile will qualify for the lowest rates and is almost guaranteed to save when switching.

Drivers who don't meet these standards will be charged a higher premium which usually ends up with the driver buying from a lower-cost company. The ad wording is "drivers who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save that much. That's why companies can truthfully advertise the way they do. That is why you should get quotes from several different companies. It is impossible to predict the company that will provide you with the cheapest rates.

A tidy conclusion

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, make sure you don't buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to regret at claim time that the savings was not a smart move. The aim is to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

Consumers who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including policy non-renewal, high rates after DUI convictions, unfair underwriting practices and even delays in paying claims. It doesn't matter what your reason, switching auto insurance companies is less work than it seems.

Cheaper auto insurance is possible online and also from your neighborhood Windthorst agents, so you should compare both to have the best selection. Some auto insurance companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through independent insurance agents.
