Jerry Data & Research
Can I change my marital status or other details that aren't true to receive discounts?
I'm a 38-year-old male and I need to get a new car and insurance. I've noticed that my rates are significantly lower if I say I'm married or have had car insurance for a longer period of time. Will the car insurance company check if these are true?

“While it may be tempting to save money on
car insurance
by making untrue statements, doing so constitutes insurance fraud. Depending on the state, this could result in:- Fines
- Jail time
- Felony charges
You will also have difficulty finding car insurance in the future.
A better way to find
cheap car insurance
is to shop around for quotes online using a smart comparison tool like the Jerry
app. Jerry compares quotes from 50 providers and delivers the best deals to your phone in minutes for free.”View full answer
