Why Costs Vary for Auto Insurance

Insurance premiums are based on driving characteristics, behaviors, and history unique to each person. Costs vary for numerous reasons and here are a few you should consider when you are looking for auto insurance:

  • Costs vary with driver experience
  • Costs vary given the safety features of your car
  • Costs vary with multiple car ownership
  • Costs vary with home ownership vs. renting
  • Costs are lower if you were previously insured for 6 months with another insurance company

So, how can you save money on your insurance premiums? SafeAuto® has identified 5 key ways to save on your auto insurance:

  1. CLEAN RECORD - Keep your driver's record clean and up-to-date.
  2. HIGHER DEDUCTIBLES - Consider higher deductibles.
  3. LESS FLASH COSTS LESS CASH - Drive a "low profile," (not a high-powered sports car) car equipped with certain money-saving safety features.
  4. KNOW YOUR STATE'S REQUIREMENTS - Consider insuring with the state required level of insurance.
  5. WHAT DO YOU QUALIFY FOR - Make sure you get all discounts you qualify for.
