6 Best Ways To Save Money On Car Insurance

ways to save on car insuranceThe cost of car insurance is on the rise. The challenge of finding adequate coverage at the right price can be resolved by following simple steps. Maximize the economic value an auto policy by lowering risk ratings. If you are looking for high quality auto insurance within a reasonable budget there are a few things you should know:

1. Boost Deductible
One of the easiest methods of extracting more value from an auto insurance policy is to boost your own deductible. The odds of sustaining minor damages such as curb side scratches or a dented bumper are higher than the risk of a major collision. When signing onto a policy with a higher deductible ceiling, the cost of monthly payments will be far lower.

2. Carpooling
When insurers have knowledge that you commute to work by carpool, there are typically substantial savings. Estimated premium for carpoolers on an auto policy will be reduced if it is evidenced that those trips constitute more than 50% of all drive time to work. Insured that can provide documentation of 75% commuting by carpool will obtain significantly more savings. Most businesses with commuting employees track carpool mileage.

Rather than spending $110 per hour to have a mechanic take a look at his machinery (he is a farmer), he instead approaches one of the local retired farmer/mechanic’s in his area. This particular gentleman doesn’t want to take on any big jobs, and he only wants to work once in a while, but the key is, he enjoys the work and he has a lot of experience. So the retired mechanic comes out to my Dad’s farm, fixes the problem within one to two hours and only expects a good cup of coffee and maybe $20 for his time.

It’s a win-win in this case as my Dad gets great service for a very low price, and the retiree has an excuse to get out of the house, do what he loves, and socialize.
