Cheap Car Insurance Quote

10 comments

If you are seeking a cheap car insurance quote there are recognized steps to take that will result in you obtaining the cheapest car insurance quote possible for your car and your circumstances. Many people honestly believe that auto insurance companies are doing their best to provide them with the cheapest quote they can, and trust them to do so. They are both right and wrong.

A company will provide you with a cheap quote if it is liable to make them money. That is the purpose of any company: to make money. They are not philanthropists and like any other company are in existence only to make money. If they feel that they can make more than the average quota of money from your premium then they will offer you a bit back.

Therefore, if you hear of somebody who has found a fantastically cheaper car insurance quote than you have been offered, then that is because their circumstances are different to yours. So what could be different? Perhaps they have never made a claim from previous policies. Perhaps their car is older than yours and they have declined collision and comprehensive cover. Perhaps their company have an agreement with the insurance company they deal with for their car fleet for cheap auto insurance quotes for employees. Perhaps . . .

There are so many perhaps’s that you are probably best to ignore the deals other people get and concentrate solely on what you can get. You should listen to their experiences with various ins companies, such as their willingness to pay out on claims or their speed in providing a courtesy car in the event of yours being damaged, but pay no attention to what they pay because their circumstances are different.

So what affects whether or not you can get the cheapest quote going? What are these circumstances that can make so much difference to whether or not you get a cheaper policy than the next guy or gal? They are basically common sense, and if you can’t work it out for yourself then you probably don’t deserve a cheap car insurance quote.

Do you have all the car safety features fitted in your car? Stuff like air bags, not only for you but for your front and rear passengers? Are their also air bags on the sides of the doors to protect you from side collisions? Do you have ABS braking that doesn’t lock when you hit the brakes, or a burglar alarm and window etching with your number plates? If so you can likely get your quote reduced.

Never accept the first quote given – that is Rule Number One in the book of cheap insurance seeker’s rules. Compare cheap car insurance and keep something up your sleeve, even if it costs you. If you agree to pay $500 deductible your premium cost will be reduced, but don’t tell them that till after your initial quote, or it will likely just be the same as if you didn’t mention it. $500 might seem a lot, but that’s your estimate of what you can afford to pay calculated against the likelihood of you having to pay it.

There are lots of other variables that you can use to reduce your premium such as dropping the collision cover and going third party, or simply that you are willing to switch your other insurances to the same company, such as house and travel insurance for example. How about simply buying it online: most companies offer a discount if you purchase your auto insurance online.

Whatever way you achieve it, a cheap car insurance quote should be easy to get if you know the right steps to take. Ins companies will give you a serious discount if they believe that you are less likely to make a large claim than the next guy.

  3. Cheapest? Each insurance company is different. Call a local agent who works with a lof of companies and they can find the cheapest for you.

    Granted, cheapest isn't the best. If you cause an accident, they won't pay a lot for the other people. And you'll also restricted other service things like claims or 24 hours service.

  4. yes, you can switch your car insurance for a cheaper quote.
    And if you want to change car you dispose of the one you have and just buy another one.
    Btw, shop around for insurance as their prices will differ wildly. Do the comparison sites, it's free and quick and there's no obligation to buy anything.
    Hre's one I know http://best-american-insurers-free-comparison.servicesarticles.com
    you can back up, input another car, see new price. Spend a while researching cars and different insurers till you find a good compromise.
    The above site is good as they'll search MANY insurers so it's a quicker process than doin one site at the time.
    more here http://finance.ebookorama.com/ukusa-selected-resources.php and tons more in Google.
    Good luck

  6. There is no such thing as "cheap insurance" There is only the best deal for each individual and that can be found only by comparative shopping

  7. There is no best place.
    Insurance companies target market certain groups of people and give them their best rates. Groupings are based on prior insurance coverage, age, gender, credit rating, driving record, marriage status and even occupation. Your best source would be your local independent insurance agent. He/she knows who writes which group at what price.
    Also, your agent can advise you on how to obtain the best quotes not just now, but also in six months. You may need some grooming.

  9. It all depends on your driving record…..not to mention the limits you pick and your deductable, as well as whether or not you choose to have rental reimbursement, towing etc.

  10. A couple of quick tips for bringing down your quote are:

    1. get an experienced driver to go on the policy as a named driver (but not to 'front' the policy for you, with you as a named driver). Don't ask me why that works, but apparently it sometimes does.

    2. take the Pass Plus test. It'll cost around £100, your local council might subsidise that though, but even if not the discount some insurers will give you will make it worthwhile. See here: http://www.passplus.org.uk/insurers.asp

    3. Slap as many security devices as you can on the car, like an approved steering wheel bar or cover. Presuming it already has an alarm / immobiliser.

    Also there are two specialist insurers you can try: Adrian Flux, for 'high risk' drivers at http://www.adrianflux.co.uk and Bell Direct for drivers with zero NCB at http://www.bell.co.uk

    Finally, see if you can play a couple of insurers off against each other, taking one's best offer to the other and finally offering to 'buy right now' for a further discount once one won't go any lower.
