5 ways you could lower your car insurance premiums.
Auto insurance may be mandatory, but there are ways you could save!
Insurance providers largely decide their rates based on the level of risk to insure a driver. By being a safe driver, you can take advantage of any saving incentives you may be eligible for.
Take a driving course
Many insurance providers offer discounts to new drivers who have completed a government-approved driver’s education program.
Maintain a conviction-free record
Keeping a clean driving record – no tickets or driving infractions for a set number of years – can help you save.
Theft-proof your car
Taking measures to help protect your car like installing a steering wheel lock or anti-theft system may reduce what you pay for insurance.
Install winter tires
Provide proof you bought and installed winters tires and you may be eligible for savings with certain insurance providers.
Bundle your insurance
When you combine your home and auto insurance, it could mean savings for you.
FAQs
There are several things you can do to help lower your car insurance costs:
Work on your driving record
Here's an easy and effective way to bring down your insurance costs: build a consistent accident and conviction-free track record with an insurance company.
Choose your automobile wisely
We recommend you do your research before you invest in a new car. Read consumer reports and check with your insurance company to find out which cars tend to be targets for theft and vandalism. If you purchase a car with a high theft rate, your premium could be higher.
Adjust how you use your car
By adjusting the way you use your vehicle, you could bring down the cost of your insurance rates. If you live in a metropolitan area: can you take the subway, train or bus to work? Has your job changed, or have you moved recently? Do you use your automobile to drive a short distance to work? Does your vehicle get used for low annual kilometers?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be entitled to lower insurance costs.
Choose a higher deductible
If you choose a higher deductible up front, in many cases your premiums will be lower.
Take anti-theft measures
Your area of residence and instances of crime in your neighborhood will be taken into account. But in addition, ensuring you take proper preventative measures for car theft can help lower your insurance premiums. Consider installing a simple steering wheel lock or an advanced anti-theft system.
You may be eligible for a discount if your vehicle is equipped with an after-market (not factory-installed) anti-theft device that is wired to the ignition. You must provide written proof that the system was professionally installed.
Consider Telematics
Telematics-powered car insurance is a form of policy in which insurance companies rely on in-car tracking devices to monitor your driving habits and tendencies. This can earn you discounts based on your safe driving habits.
Using a free app downloaded to your smartphone, this usage-based insurance program securely gathers information about your driving. It monitors things such as speeding, the time of day you travel, hard braking, rapid acceleration, and distracted driving. The safer you drive, the more you benefit! Upon renewal, your personalized premium can be lower or higher depending on your driving behavior. The app also offers you driving insights and tips than can help you save. You’re in control!
