Used Car Information: Insurance
Money Saving Tips
When buying insurance for your used
car, there are certain ways to save some money. It
is best to always compare premiums offered with
different companies, and to only get the coverage
you need. Insurers sort customers according to their
likelihood of filing a claim, then assign them to
one of several categories commonly referred to as
tiers. Top-tier customers who have had few or no
claims in the past several years and live in
neighborhoods where auto-theft rates are low can
easily save 15 percent or more off the standard
rate. But simply because you qualify initially or
improve your driving record doesn't mean you
automatically get top-tier status – so ask if you
and your used car qualify. You may qualify for extra
discounts if your used car has up to date safety
equipment; i.e. air bags or antilock brakes. Any
anti-theft equipment can often get you a break on
the comprehensive part of your used car coverage.
Kids can save: If you have children who drive,
you'll save if they get good grades or if they
attend a school nearby, you can save. In some
states, completing a certified defensive-driving
course can reduce your fees. And lastly, insuring
with a company that lets you decide which parts are
used and who does the repairs (not all give you the
choice).
