If you’ve been with the same insurer a long time, it might be tough to beat its rates, especially if you haven’t had any claims lately. In fact, a 2014 survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center found that only 10 percent of 19,000 ConsumerReports.org subscribers who compared premiums found that they would save money by switching insurers.

 

 

Saving money isn’t simply a matter of finding the lowest premium. Some insurers have lower premiums, but end up costing you more in the end by lowballing loss estimates, hassling the repair shop to cut corners, and forcing you to pay extra for original-equipment replacement parts. They might even unfairly jack up your premiums after an accident.

 

 

A higher deductible reduces your premium because you pay more out of pocket if you have a claim. Hiking your deductible from $200 to $500 can cut your premium on collision by 15 to 30 percent. Go to $1,000 and you could save 40 percent. If you have a good driving record and haven’t had an at-fault accident in years, if ever, opting for a higher deductible on collision might be a good bet. Just make sure you can afford to pay that cost if your luck runs out. 

 

 

Your liability coverage pays for bodily injury and property damage that you cause in accidents. Don’t get caught short by reducing your liability limits to the state minimums. Buying more coverage might seem like an odd way to save, but the benefit comes if you have a costly claim, which can put your life’s savings at risk.

 

 

Car insurers offer a whole range of modest but worthwhile discounts that are essentially based on a low-risk lifestyle. Here are some to ask your insurer about if they don’t mention them to you first:

 

• Students with good grades.

• New drivers who have taken a driver-training course.

• Older drivers who have taken a refresher course.

• Any driver who takes a defensive-driving course.

• Members of affinity groups, such as college alumni and certain occupations and professions.

• Anti-theft and safety equipment.

 

 

Insurers also offer fairly hefty auto discounts if you also buy your home­owners, renters, or life-insurance policy from them. But be sure you check out total costs both ways: premiums from different insurers compared with single-insurer packages. 

 

 

Adding a teenager to your policy can hike your costs by 50 to 100 percent. Make sure your child takes a safe-driving course before getting a license. Make it a rule that unsafe driving will mean loss of driving privileges.

 

 

Most states allow insurance companies to use your credit score as a factor in setting your premiums. Ask your insurance company if it does that. But regularly check and correct credit-reporting errors anyhow. If your finances have been adversely affected by the recession, military deployment, divorce, job loss, death of a family member, or medical problems, ask your insurer for an exception.  

 

 

A major cost component in auto in­surance is miles driven per year. The average is about 12,000. But if you’re driving a lot less than usual for some reason, like a job change or retirement, let your insurer know. Your reduced driving could cut 5 to 10 percent off your premiums. 

 

 

Vehicle damage is the biggest cost component for auto insurers, so premiums will vary by auto model. When comparing models, ask your insurer for premium quotes on the different models under consideration.

Insurers have gone as far as working out surgeons normally have more accidents where they were to blame than any other profession and building society clerks the fewest. They know Virgos were worst for accidents last year, but Pisceans had more convictions.

 

That means they will up your premium based on age, sex, job, post code and where you park as well as what you drive.

 

But car insurance providers don't have to have to have it all their own way – we’ve found six ways to get cheaper car insurance that they’d really rather you didn’t know.

 

 

If you describe yourself as a “chef” when filling in your car insurance application your average quote is £98 higher than if you write “kitchen staff” comparison site GoCompare.com found – and it’s not just cooks that have this problem.

 

 

It’s a crime to say someone who isn’t the main driver of a car is, but adding a secondary driver is perfectly legal - and more than that, it can save you money.

 

 

Searching around and switching car insurance three weeks before your renewal date, rather than on the day, saves you an average of £280, comparison site Comparethemarket found – with even bigger savings available for younger drivers.

 

 

Comparison sites make money because when you switch products with them they get a referral fee from the insurer. But if you’re clever, you can get that money yourself.

 

 

Did you know that many insurers charge interest on your payments if you spread the cost over the year? Well, they do. an average of £62 more Moneysupermarket worked out. So if at all possible, pay up front.

 

 

What’s included in your car insurance quote? Breakdown cover? Windscreen cover? Theft from the car? Driving abroad? Personal accident cover? A courtesy car? Every extra adds to the premium. More than that, a lot of them might already be covered by things like your travel insurance, AA membership, home insurance or even your bank account.

Auto insurance can be a major cost for motorists who already face high fuel prices, paying for regular MOTs and services and of course covering the cost of the vehicle they drive each day. 

 

If you’re looking to find cheaper cover, try these tips for lowering your car insurance costs.

 

 

Shopping around for auto insurance is often a simple but effective way to reduce the price you pay for cover. Insurance companies rarely offer their very best deals to existing customers, instead reserving their cheapest possible prices for new customers. Compare cheap car insurance quotes to see how much you can save by switching insurers. Just remember to make sure you are comparing like for like cover, with voluntary excesses set at the same level and including any extras that you’d usually add on.

 

 

Opting for a higher voluntary excess when setting up your car insurance cover is another way to reduce your premium. As a general rule of thumb, the higher your excess, the lower your premium - so experiment using our car insurance comparison tool to see how much difference an increased excess could make to your annual auto insurance costs. Remember, though, that you must be able to afford your voluntary excess. If you need to make an insurance claim, you’ll be required to stump it up before your insurer will pay out.

 

 

Think carefully before adding extras, such as legal expenses cover, windscreen cover or use of a courtesy car to your car insurance package. While insurance companies are often enthusiastic about their value and they might come in handy, they are not strictly necessary - and including too many add-ons could significantly bump up the price of your policy.

 

 

Before buying car insurance, think carefully about how far you really drive in your vehicle each year. If it’s possible for you to agree to a lower annual mileage cap than you did last time you bought insurance, it’s possible you’ll save money. This is an especially helpful tip for two car families, where one vehicle is likely to do more miles in a year than the other - but where this sometimes isn’t obvious until both cars’ odometers are checked.

 

 

While spreading the cost of your auto insurance might feel less painful than paying for your premium in one go, it will probably cost you more in the long run. Many insurance companies charge interest when customers opt to pay for their insurance monthly, so check before you sign on the dotted line. If your insurer’s policy is to charge interest but you would like to spread the cost of your cover for free, you could consider using a 0% purchase credit card to pay for it - just be sure to clear your balance in full before the 0% period ends.
