If you must get huge discounts, then you must NOT forget certain things. Following are a few of such things...

Folks who ignorantly buy either collision or comprehensive coverage or both for an old car that is not considered a classic are simply pay far more than should. This is because you are compensated based on what is called the Kelly Blue Book value of your car at the time you make a claim. This means that not minding how much you paid and for how long you did, you may get absolutely nothing if the book says it's not worth anything by the time you make a claim.

So stop wasting your money. Once your car becomes old, drop collision and comprehensive coverage on it. If you do this you'll pay a lot less.

You might be able to bring down your rate if you take time to review your policy from time to time. The simple reason for this is that things about us change often without us taking serious note of them. A good example is a case where a couple leave their wedded daughter on their policy for months or even a few years just because they did not remember.

There are discounts you might have qualified for. You might as well have "outgrown" the need for certain coverage types. Review your policy at least once a year or twice yearly. Don't be surprised if you end up discovering you need to make adjustments or report changes that will result in considerable savings.

You will bring down your auto insurance rate if you have an excellent credit rating. Those who have bad credit pay higher rates for every form of insurance and that includes auto insurance. For some insurance carriers it is a pattern they believe you are quite likely to repeat with them in premium defaults. Once you are noted as a higher risk you'll attract more expensive auto insurance premiums.

Do your best to represent the facts exactly the way they are. One of the factors that has kept rates as high as they are is insurance fraud. It's making everyone pay a lot more.

Furthermore, an insurer has the right to cancel your policy if you give false details.

This could make you lose a lot more than what you thought you would save. Insurers increase your rates by a good margin once you've let your policy lapse or had it cancelled for reasons like this.

Insurance fraud costs the average family an extra $1,500 in premium dollars each year. Help make the world a better place by doing your bit to ensure we don't have to pay a lot more.
