Many consumers are true bargain hunters. They know exactly where to save a penny a gallon in gas and where hamburger is on sale at any point in time. But those same consumers many times fall far short on applying that same bargain hunter mentality to their car insurance. They probably could not even tell you what their deductibles are for the coverage they currently have.
One of the common sayings here for people in this situation is that they are stepping over the dollars to get to the dimes. Are you one of these people? Let's look at some things that you should consider about car insurance, and what to look for when you are doing comparison shopping of your next car insurance quotes.
Are you the type of person who just renews their car insurance every year by habit without even getting a quote from other companies? If so, chances are better than excellent that you are wasting money. Insurance rates are changing all time, and very few insurance agents will call you to tell you about a lower premium that you qualify for.
This is not a guarantee that your existing auto insurance company is charging too much. They may have the most cost effective option for you, but you do not know that unless you do your comparison shopping and due diligence.
You do not need collision insurance, which is quite pricey in most states, if your car is paid off. If your car is not paid off, the finance company will require you to carry collision insurance to protect their interests in the vehicle. But the price of collision insurance varies greatly depending on your deductible. With a $100 deductible, the cost of this coverage will probably be about three times greater than what it would be with a $500 or $1000 deductible. Determine how you drive, where you drive, and then determine what type of deductible you should have for collision insurance.
Do you know what your coverage limits are? For example, with your personal damages coverage, maybe your current policy has a $50,000 limit on it, which in today's lawsuit-happy world is nothing. Yes, having a $500,000 limit on your personal damage coverage will cost more, but then again it is much more likely to truly protect you if you need to file a claim. When comparison car insurance quotes, make sure that the coverage and the coverage limits are the same so that you are comparing the same things.
You may be surprised to know that an online car insurance quote may be the most aggressively priced one available for you. You should get a quote to compare. It costs you nothing to get a quote online and you may be pleasantly surprised.
For the sake of your own wallet, you should comparison shop your car insurance quote at least once a year. You could save significantly, and it is well worth the time to invest the effort to find out.
