Boy, oh boy, have you come to the right place!
The absolute best way to save money on car insurance is to understand what factors impact your insurance rates and use that knowledge to your advantage.
Your car insurance premium is calculated based on several factors, including:
  • Your age
  • Your sex
  • The car you drive
  • Where you live
  • Your relationship status
  • Your driving history
  • Your insurance history
  • The average number of miles you drive
Get quotes from multiple providers, as each weighs these factors slightly differently when pricing policies. That way, you can find the best deal for you.
You can also ask individual providers what discounts may be available based on your characteristics as a driver. You might qualify for a discount if you’re married, a student, a safe driver, or rarely use your vehicle.
