7 Easy Ways To Slash Your Auto Insurance Costs

by Neil Stelling

The law requires you buy auto insurance. So if you must get coverage, how can you reduce costs? Here's 7 easy ways to get the best possible Canton auto insurance deal.

Multiple Quotes
Get multiple quotes - use the internet and call a few Canton brokers. It's easy to gather some good comparison quotes.

Remember to get different types of quotes e.g one from a direct-sell insurance company; another from an offline broker who keeps a database of quotes; and a couple from the internet.

Cheapest might not mean best. Will they pay out if you make a claim? How financially secure? How reputable? Check around with family and friends, and look for online reviews.

Different Type of Car
Insurance costs vary depending on car type. Obviously, that $100k sports model costs more to insure than your average runabout. If you're planning to buy a new car, check Canton insurance costs before you buy. I once set my heart on a beautiful, high performance, highly tuned Pontiac.

Luckily I checked the auto insurance before I bought it, because I couldn't get insurance. Every broker, every insurance company flat turned me down because I lived in a high car-crime area. So I had to forget the car of my dreams until I moved up-town.

Age and Value of Car
Maybe you're buying a used car ? Maybe your car saw better days a few years ago, and now values much lower? So why pay for high-priced Canton auto insurance ? In particular, do you still need fully comprehensive coverage?

A good rule of thumb multiplies insurance premium by 10, and compares that figure with your car value. So if you're quoted $1000 premium and your car is worth less than $10,000 you may want to think if comprehensive represents good value. If you drop collision and/or comprehensive coverage, you should get big savings.
