My lender requires that I carry full coverage on my car. My insurance is a lot higher because of this. Is there a way I can lower my insurance payment?
One easy way to lower your payment is to review your current policy. While you have to have full coverage, you could adjust your deductible. The higher your deductible is, the lower your policy premium is. If you can afford to pay a higher deductible after an accident, consider raising it.
Another option is to look at any optional coverages you carry. Rental reimbursement or towing coverage are two common coverages that you may want to consider removing to save some cash.
Finally, shop around. Insurance company’s rates vary. You may qualify for more discounts with another company or find a better rate for full coverage. You can request insurance quotes yourself or use
