Are You Getting the Best Deal on Auto Insurance? By ElmerFizz.comhttp://www.elmerfizz.com Let your fingers do the walking... Remember that Yellow Pages AdCampaign? Excellent advice if you're shopping for autoinsurance. Shop around and do it yearly. Don't just keep payingthe invoice over and over without comparison shopping. Below area few suggestions to help you get the best deal available onyour automobile insurance policy. Insurance agents really have a lot of leeway. They can pricematch and they can offer many discounts. There are also manydecisions you can make about your policy that will save you abundle. For example, if you change your deductible on yourcollision from a $50 deductible to a $1000 deductible, you'reinline for a huge premium savings. If you don't think you couldcome up with $1000 out of pocket, then change it to a $500deductible; you'll still save a sizable amount on your annualpremium payment. You can also get more of a savings if you change yourcomprehensive deductible. Many people needlessly carry fullcoverage on their older vehicle. They originally purchased thevehicle new, paid for full coverage and to this day, continue topay the same high rate. Their ten year old vehicle may be worth$1000 or less, yet they continue to pay $250-$450 every sixmonths (total $500 to $900 dollars a year) to keep full coverageon their old vehicle. However, if they have an accident and totaled their vehicle, theinsurance company will only pay them the wholesale value of thevehicle. The amount they would receive could be $1000 or less. Avehicle that old just needs the insurance that protects theother person in case of an accident. Another method to save more on your insurance is by combiningyour vehicles and other insurance together to get you additionalsavings. All insurance companies offer a multi-car discount (ifyours doesn't, it's time to switch companies). Further, manywill discount more if you have your homeowners or renters policywith them. There are a few other discounts that you may not be takingadvantage of. It seems obvious, but make sure you are gettingthe correct rate for your age. There are discounts for variousages than can save you lots of money. Check with your agent onthis one. Also alarm systems on your vehicle are usually goodfor a discount. Additionally, anti-lock brakes and air bags canalso help lower your premiums. Don't just keep paying the invoice when it comes in. Yourinsurance bill should be an automatic trigger for you to make afew phone calls to see if you can save even more money on yourauto insurance premiums. ----------------------------------------------------------------------This article may be reprinted if left unchanged and thisresource box is included: http://www.minniebell.comhttp://www.crazyhealthnut.com http://www.123healthstore.comhttp://www.gardenjargon.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------
