Hello all! I hope you're all enjoying the warmer weather we've been having. I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but auto insurance costs have been rising recently across insurance companies, and we've been getting a lot of questions about how we can all lower the cost. I've added a few ideas below that can help with the increasing cost of auto insurance:
What are ways to help lower car insurance?
Dropping unnecessary coverage, increasing your deductible or reducing coverage limits may help lower insurance costs. Call the office and we can share the pros and cons of these options.
In some states, younger drivers are also able to take driver safety courses like Steer Clear® by State Farm that could lower your cost. Overall, it doesn't hurt — and might very well help.
You can also check with your insurance company to see if they have a telematics program, like Drive Safe & SaveTM from State Farm. These usage-based car insurance programs record how you drive and the miles you drive. The safer a driver you are, the more you may lower your car insurance.
Other typical discounts include those for good students, children no longer driving while away at college, insuring multiple vehicles, installing anti-theft devices, taking defensive driving courses and accident-free driving. See your local agent for a full list of discounts.
Using one insurance company for multiple insurance policies can lower your total costs. Combining the purchase of an auto policy with the purchase of a home policy, sometimes called bundling, can save you money.
Finally, as always, it's a good idea to talk to your State Farm agent about what policies make the most sense for you and your situation.
