Best auto insurance deals

While some states review their auto insurance policies in hopes of getting better deals for their consumers there are some things you can do right now to help lower what for most people is a headache of a bill.

First look for the best discount for multiple cars. Got more than one? Then go for a multicar discount. Got a good driving record? Most insurance companies will discount for your careful driving. If your car has anti-theft and anti-lock options they are good for a discount.

The number three auto insurer in the US, Progressive Direct, wants you to help them assess the kind of driver you are by a “TripSensor” . This mechanism clocks your speeds, miles and time of day driving, and shares it with Progressive. They will give you $50 for every six months of data you share with them. 

Comparing rates is a big help so shop at your state’s insurance department web site. You can play around with your policy increasing and reducing deductibles and comprehensive coverage, particularly helpful on older cars and don’t forget your affiliations…things like AAA can help you get a discount on your auto insurance rates. Then happy driving.
