How much can you save with discounts?

Companies don't list all their discounts very well, so here is a list both the well known as well as the least known car insurance savings.

  • Bundle and Save - When you have multiple policies with one company you may earn at least 10% off all policies.
  • Good Student - Getting good grades can earn a discount of 20% or more. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
  • Save with a New Car - Buying coverage on a new vehicle can save up to 30% because new vehicles have to meet stringent safety requirements.
  • College Student - Children who live away from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle can receive lower rates.
  • Driver Safety - Successfully completing a defensive driving course can save you 5% or more depending on where you live.
  • Early Switch Discount - Some insurance companies reward drivers for buying a policy before your current policy expires. It's a savings of about 10%.

A little note about advertised discounts, most of the big mark downs will not be given to the entire policy premium. Most only apply to individual premiums such as collision or personal injury protection. Just because it seems like all the discounts add up to a free policy, you won't be that lucky.

Effectively comparing car insurance prices is a ton of work if you don't know the most efficient way to do it. You can waste hours driving to insurance agencies in Winnie, or you could save time and use online quotes for quick rates.

Most car insurance companies belong to an insurance system that allows shoppers to submit their information once, and each company then returns a price quote for coverage. This eliminates the need for repetitive form submissions for each company you want a rate for.

The only downside to comparing rates this way is buyers cannot specifically choose the companies you want to price. So if you prefer to choose from a list of companies to request quotes from, we put together a list of car insurance companies in Texas. Click to view list.

Whichever way you use, be sure to compare apples-to-apples coverage information on every quote you get. If you use unequal deductibles or liability limits it's not possible to determine which rate is truly the best in Winnie. Just a small difference in coverages may result in a large different in cost. Keep in mind that getting more free quotes gives you a better chance of getting the best offered rates.

How much car insurance do I need?

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For example, these questions may help highlight if your insurance needs will benefit from professional help.

  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in Texas?
  • Should I file a claim if it's only slightly more than my deductible?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?

If you don't know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Do the work, save more money

When shopping online for car insurance, don't be tempted to sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many instances, someone dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to find out that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. The ultimate goal is to buy enough coverage at a price you can afford.

We just presented many ways to get a better price on car insurance. The most important thing to understand is the more rate quotes you have, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers may even find the lowest priced car insurance comes from the least-expected company.

Cheaper car insurance can be bought both online and also from your neighborhood Winnie agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best rate selection. Some car insurance companies may not provide online quoting and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
