Auto insurance rates can be quite high depending on multiple factors. If ya’re paying more than ya should, ya may be looking for ways to lower your automobile insurance rates.


Insurance-Integrity.com can help:



  • The first question would be; Are ya getting a competitive rate? The best way to find that out would be to obtain automobile insurance quotes from various outfits so that ya may compare and see if your rate is competitive. Instead of contacting each company individually, fill out just 1 form and get multiple automobile insurance quotes by visiting OnlineAutoinsurance.com.
  • Have ya had any accidents within the last 5 years? If ya have, that can automatically mean ya are paying higher rates. Most outfits do not charge for accidents older than 3 years; therefore, if ya are being charged for an accident older than 3 years, ya may consider changing to another carrier that will not count them against ya. There are 3 ways to rate an accident. The worst case is if your accident is being charged as your fault with injuries. Second is your fault with no injuries, and third, is the best case, not-"at fault" accident. Check with your carrier to see how they are charging for your accident; if they are listing it as injuries when there was none involved, make sure to have that corrected which will lower your rate. Better yet, if it was not your fault, make sure ya correct that as well which should lower your rate significantly.
  • Buying an automobile insurance friendly automotive will also lead to lower rates. Generally, 4 door vehicles are a bit cheaper to insure than 2 door vehicles. Get an automobile insurance quote before buying a automotive to see the rate prior to buying it. You should avoid sporty vehicles or luxury vehicles unless ya are ready to pay a higher premium compared to a standard automotive.
  • Auto insurance coverage can be adjusted slightly to significantly lower your rates. The first coverage ya should look at is your deductibles. The higher the deductible, the lower the rates. You should check the difference in rates and determine if it is a choice ya want to take. The deductibles are what ya pay in case of an accident or claim so keep that in mind when ya are considering raising the deductibles.
  • If your insurance policy has Medical Payments coverage and ya also have a health insurance policy, talk to a licensed agent to discuss whether it would be better to remove Medical Payments coverage and let your health insurance policy take care of any medical costs. Make sure ya look into the details of your policy to avoid any gaps in coverage. Some coverage may not be necessary if ya have Comprehensive and Collision coverage added to your policy. Talk to your agent to discuss possible removal of unnecessary coverage in order to lower your rates.
  • If ya already had coverage from another carrier and switched to ya current carrier, ya may have been eligible for a discount. Ask your current carrier if ya are receiving a prior insurance discount, also known as persistency discount. It may not be too late to obtain the discount by providing proof of prior insurance.
  • If ya get marred, be sure to contact your carrier so that ya may receive the married rate which is generally lower than that of an unmarried driver.
  • If ya have more vehicles in your policy than ya do drivers, ya can usually request that the extra automotive be listed as a low mileage automotive. If ya do not commute far to work, or are retired, ya may also be eligible for a low mileage discount.
  • Having low-jack or a homing device on your automotive can reduce your rates by a few bucks a mo.. Every dollar counts!
  • Ask your carrier what discounts are procurable and if ya are eligible for any. Common discounts are college degree discount, good student discount, mature driver discount and safety course discount.
