FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Automotive Insurance – Less Expensive Car Means Lower Rates
Car Insurance – No Basic Structure is Available – Companies Vary on Rates
September 6, 2009 — You are required to purchase automotive insurance whether you buy a new car, have an older model car, or try to renew a existing insurance policy. Where the challenging part comes in, is finding affordable automotive insurance with the correct coverage that you need.
There is no basic pricing structure in place when it comes to automotive insurance. Rates can vary from company to company and will also be determined by the type of car you have and the coverage you are wanting. The insurance companies will figure out what amount of risk you oppose to them as a customer and this will add or deduct from your policy.
Let’s say that an 18-year old high school student with a brand new sports vehicle will be a higher risk of having an accident, than a 30-year old person with an old Toyota. The 18-year old will have to pay a much steeper premium than the 30-year old.
Below are some factors that need to be considered when trying to lower your premium and get a more affordable rate.
• Getting a less expensive vehicle that is cheaper on replacement parts will lower your insurance premium.
• Try to minimize the mileage you use for the year. The fewer miles you drive, the less chance of an accident.
• 25-year olds or younger should try to get added to their parent’s policy to get a reduced rate.
• Having good grades if you are a student will help you to get a discount.
• Installing safety precaution devices on your vehicle can lower your premium, such as car alarm, air bags, and anti-lock brakes.
• Raise your deductible amount you have associated with your policy. This will make your premium amount less.
Asking your auto insurance companies what other discounts might be available is another great way of making sure that you get the best affordable car insurance that you can.
