How to Lower the Cost of Car Insurance from Auto-Owners
Use Auto-Owners’ auto insurance discounts
Auto-Owners offers a wide variety of discounts that can help you lower your overall car insurance bill. For example, drivers can get a discount of up to 20% if their policy covers a college or high school student who maintains at least a "B" average.
Raise your car insurance deductible
Opting for a higher deductible on any of your insurance policies from Auto-Owners can lower your premium. But if you decide to go this route, it’s important that you choose a deductible amount that you can still afford if you suddenly need to file a claim. Otherwise, you might not be able to use the coverage that you have.
Practicing safe driving habits and avoiding moving violations can help you qualify for lower Auto-Owners insurance rates long-term. You may also be able to attend traffic school in order to remove a violation or points from your record, depending on your state.
Build and improve your credit
Because your credit history is correlated with your likelihood of filing an insurance claim, Auto-Owners uses your credit data to calculate your premium in states where it is legal. As a result, having good credit makes you less of an insurance risk, which will reduce your rates over time.
Drive less
Whether you can shorten your commute to work, use more public transportation, or even ride a bicycle more, driving fewer miles each year could lower your Auto-Owners premium.
Drive an insurance-friendly car
Expensive cars, sports cars, and cars with high rates of theft are considered to be riskier to insure than cheaper, more practical vehicles. Before you buy a new car, get a new quote from Auto-Owners to see how it will affect your rate. If the cost is out of your budget, then you should probably choose a different car.
Finally, if you’re still struggling to afford your Auto-Owners policy, you should consider switching insurers. Even if you’re not actively looking for a new policy, it’s generally a good idea to compare quotes from three different companies every 6-12 months.
