You're a Car Owner. Of Course You're Spending Too Much on Car Insurance!

by Courtney Conley

Car insurance costs are through the (sun)roof. Anyone who drives a car has to have car insurance, and it’s not something you want to skimp on--just ask anyone who has been in a collision! Here are three ways to keep your car insurance payment down.

1. Drive like someone who shouldn’t have to pay too much for car insurance.

No one wants to waste money--and that includes car insurance companies. If you’re collecting speeding tickets and recording TikToks while driving, it’s only a matter of time until you’re going to do something reckless to cost your insurance company a lot of money. Of course they’ll charge you as much as possible each month! If you don’t want to be seen as a walking red flag, make sure your driving record reflects that. Follow traffic laws, put your phone down, and do your best to keep you and those around you safe.

2. Be upfront about how much you drive.

One of the questions you’ll need to answer when you’re getting your insurance policy is how much you drive (i.e., your annual mileage). If you work from home, or otherwise aren’t putting tons of miles on your car, you might consider opting for a usage-based insurance plan that charges you based on your driving distance. This can be a great option and save a lot of money, but only if you’re realistic about how much you’re going to drive. Only go for this if you’re really going to have a low mileage .

3. Take advantage of discounts.

Who doesn’t love a coupon? In addition to shopping around for the best prices, pay attention to additional offers you may qualify for. Insurance companies often offer discounts for drivers who fit certain criteria such as: good students, clean driving records, and having a car with great safety features, just to name a few. Many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who opt to take an insurance discount course like the ones offered online by Safe2Drive.

With insurance costs on the rise, it’s well worth your time to do what you can in order to get the best price possible.
