How to Buy Cheap Car Insurance

Further to my previous post on the few ways to buy cheap car insurance, I am going to explore a few other ways that can help to lower your premium payable when you buy car insurance.

As you know, it is to your advantage if you understand the criteria and factors involved when your car insurance premium are being calculated, so, without further ado, check the following ways out.

  1. Consider To Have a Higher Deductibles

    So, what is deductibles? Deductibles are actually the amount that you are going to pay before your car insurance company's own coverage plan kicks in. By requesting for a higher deductibles, you can actually further reduce your premium amount.

    But why, it will reduce the premium? This is because if an accident occurs and your car is damage, you need to pay from your own pocket the deductibles you request in your car insurance policy, your insurance company will pays only the additional amount exceeding that. So, before you request to increase your deductible, please make sure that you have set aside that sum of money.


  2. Drive Safely

    When buying car insurance, if you have a clean driving record, it can actually helps in securing a cheaper car insurance. This is because considering that you are less likely to involve in accident, the insurer most likely will reduce your premium amount.


  3. Collision and Comprehensive Coverage

    An area where you can consider when looking for lower premium car insurance is take a look at your collision and comprehensive coverage. If your car is quite an old vehicle that have not much value, and you know that you probably won't fix or repair it if there is any damage, do consider drop the physical damage coverage on the vehicle. It will also helps to lower your cost for the car insurance.



So, check out the above points and do consider them when you are looking at buying a car insurance.
