Discount Auto Insurance - Sure, Why Not?

Where can I find a discounted rate for my auto insurance needs? What can I do to get low rates & superior coverage?

The insurance companies will ask you to drive carefully. And it’s good advice, but probably not what you were hoping to hear.

Ask for discounts! - If you are a good driver you may be able to lower your existing policy.

Buying a new car? - Find out where the price of the car changes in terms of policy cost. A few thousand dollars can make a difference.

Red-flag cars! - Some insurance companies charge more for certain cars that are targeted for passenger injury and/or are more often stolen or vandalized than another make of vehicle.

Could you drive a little less? - Mileage due to business travel and/or commutes can drive policy prices up. Carpooling once a week can sometimes make the difference in the premiums you pay.

Are you 50 or older? AARP is a membership organization that offers great auto discounts for all people 50+ for $12.50/yr. These great discounts are not limited to automobile insurance by any means.

The automobile insurance they offer is from The Hartford Automobile Insurance Company for AARP - members, only.

A few highlights offered by AARP for this auto insurance plan with The Hartford are:

* Full 12-month rate protection and lifetime renew ability are standard with this exclusive plan from The Hartford.

* Benefits include:

* Full New Car Replacement Guarantee

* Lifetime Repair Warranty

* Lifetime Renew ability

* Fast, no-hassle claim payments

* Online Customer Service Center for claim reporting, bill payment

* Free, no-obligation rate quote

There are many other automobile insurance discounts offered by various automobile insurance companies for good driving records.

Why does the price of auto insurance vary so much from company to company and by what car you buy? Insurance companies are talking about how many coverage’s and deductibles you need and that is determined by the following:

What do you drive? - Generally, the more pricey your auto the more pricey your premiums.

Buying a new car? - Better re-evaluate your existing policy.

How do you drive & where? - Accidents, vandalism, & theft raise rates. Small town citizens usually pay less than the city folk, especially the big, big city folks.

How much do you drive? - The more miles you drive, the more you will pay.

Are you married? Over 25? Male or female? - It matters. Accident rates are higher for all drivers under age 25, especially young males and single males.

Do you have a good driving record? - Accidents? Studies tell us that drivers who cause accidents will pay more.

How about a good credit history? - This too matters. Again, studies show credit history indicates certain characteristics of future auto insurance losses. Many insurance companies seriously utilize this information in deciding what to charge you.

How to Save Money and Get Discount Car Insurance in Kentucky

Some individuals in Kentucky have taken to selling fake insurance cards to unsuspecting consumers. These consumers are then unwittingly unprotected in the event that they are involved in a collision or their car gets stolen. The best way to ensure that the insurance company and agent you are considering purchasing a policy from is legitimate is to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Kentucky Office of Insurance. They will be able to tell you whether the agent and company are licensed to sell car insurance in the state.

Before you are ready to actually purchase a policy you need to research all of the available alternatives. This is really the best approach if you want to save money and get discount car insurance in Kentucky. It’s suggested that you ask for quotes from at minimum three different Kentucky car insurance companies.

When inquiring about quotes also ask about any available discounts. Most car insurance companies offer standard discounts that include those for having a car alarm installed, a discount for parking your car in a locked garage, and also a low mileage discount. The latter applies to individuals who drive their car only periodically or just a short distance each day. Each insurance company in Kentucky will have a maximum number of miles you are allowed to drive per year in order for you to qualify for this particular premium reducing discount.

Your driving history and the driving histories of the people you want insured with you on the policy is also relevant. If you’ve been cited for speeding infractions in the past or if you’ve been at fault in more than one accident in recent years, you are likely to be penalized with a higher premium. For this reason always be aware of your speed and keep your eyes on the road at all times. The better a driver you are, the lower your insurance costs.
