The Safer You Drive–The More You Save It seems pretty obvious that if you avoid accidents and don’t get any tickets or moving violations, your car insurance rates should be reasonable.
Avoiding accidents and tickets for a year can lead to safe driver discounts. If you have had a fender bender, or received a ticket, shopping around and comparing car insurance quotes can help you find a reasonable auto insurance rate.
Where You Live and Your Car Insurance RatesWhere you park your car at night has an affect on how much you pay for car insurance. There are some areas, mostly urban, where car thefts are more likely to happen. Living in an area where crime is more likely to occur will likely raise your car insurance rates. Finding other discounts that relate to you can help keep your car insurance rates reasonable.
Whether the car you drive won the Top Safety Pick award, or recieved negative results on a couple tests, you can still find ways to save. Avoiding accidents and tickets, and choosing a safe place to live can all help keep your car insurance rates manageable. Shopping around and comparing quotes is still the easiest and most effective way to find savings on your car insurance.
