Two Ways to Lower Car Insurance

Raise Your Credit Score:

Most insurers now use a credit-based score to set rates for new customers. The Insurance Information Institute cites that people with higher credit scores tend to make fewer and smaller claims.

According to Insweb.com, a driver with a high credit score could pay hundreds less a year than a driver with a so-so score.

Do This: If your credit score goes up, your insurer will not automatically lower your rate. So, once you have upped your score, call your insurer and ask it to lower your premium.

Call an Independent Insurance Agent:

The average car insurance premium has risen 5% in the past two years. The Insurance Information Institute indicates there are lots of variation in how much different insurers will charge a given driver.

An independent insurance agency can objectively assess your situation, and, since they shop your coverage with several different companies, they are able to suggest the most cost- effective way to meet your needs.

According to Insweb.com, a 45-year-old driver could save as much as $460 a year by swapping insurers.
