4 methods to reduce the cost of auto insurance

We all need to save money because, let's face it, life is more expensive than ever! When Elon Musk isn't spending 44 billion on a hostile purchase of Twitter, he enjoys using discounts. Let's begin, then. The 10 most popular strategies to save money on auto insurance—what you need to know and, occasionally, what your insurance provider doesn't want you to know!

  • The savings might not be worth it, but you can reduce your responsibility limits (injuries and damages caused to others in an accident). Always get a quote before buying because the reductions in liability protection are substantial but the savings can be minimal. On the other hand, if finances permit, we advise increasing liability limits because doing so will provide you with considerably stronger coverage and help you avoid future lawsuits for just a few extra dollars a month. 
  • Take away the rental and towing. Many customers believe it is not worthwhile to spend more for the same coverage on their auto insurance if they already have a AAA membership or other form of roadside assistance. Although AAA has a cap on the number of roadside assistance calls it will cover annually, if you use more than their predetermined monetary amount, they may charge you for the call. There are some reasons why some customers choose duplicate coverage. If you have Mercury Insurance roadside, they will compensate you even if your service help came from AAA.If your automobile needs to be repaired due to a covered loss, your auto insurance's rental car coverage will pay for up to 30 days of a rental. Consider deleting rental car coverage if you have access to other vehicles or can get friends or relatives to transport you around. Remember that borrowing a friend's car rarely works out, and you can be confident that Budget or Enterprise won't object if you leave crumbs and ketchup stains behind. (I'm addressing you, mum. I won't ever request to borrow your Cadillac again after that. That much is certain.
  • Raise the deductibles on a car with full coverage from $500 to $1000 or $2500; but, unless you have a long history of fines or accidents, the savings may not be worth the higher out-of-pocket expenses when it comes time to file a claim. Before making a decision, always quote your changes. Additionally, since the comprehensive deductible is a cheap policy item, we advise only upping the collision deductible and leaving the comprehensive deductible at a lesser level.
  • You can get an Uber or a scooter by selling your automobile. Right, no car, no insurance. What a fantastic method to save money! Okay, so perhaps it isn't the best choice for you. However, for older automobiles (those that are 10 to 12 years old), if the blue book value is sufficiently low, you might want to think about dropping full coverage (comprehensive and collision) in favor of liability-only coverage, which can result in considerable savings. Of course, there is a chance you won't get your automobile fixed after a collision for which you were at blame. So take this one very seriously.
