Some of the top ways to get a lower car insurance rate is to compare prices among car insurance companies, adjust coverage to suit your budget, take advantage of available discounts.

At Three Rivers Auto Glass, we have put together some tips on how to get a lower car insurance rate.

Compare Rates Among Insurers

Many insurance companies charge different rates for the same amount of coverage. They each treat factors such as age, credit history, and driving history that goes into determining your rate differently.

It is recommended that you get at least three or more quotes to compare against each other. Every 6 to 12 months, you should shop around when your policy is about to renew to maximize your savings.

Adjust Your Coverage to Suit Your Budget

You can reduce your coverage to save on your car insurance. The first way to do this is by lowering your policy limits. Your other option is to drop any unnecessary types of coverage. For example, if you own an older vehicle that doesn’t have a high value, you could drop your comprehensive coverage or collision coverage to save on cash.
If you decide to reduce your coverage, check to make sure that you are still in compliance with PA insurance laws and any of the requirements from your lessor or lender.

Look for Available Discounts

Major insurers offer discounts based on your vehicle features, driving history, and your policy choices. Many insurers offer discounts to drivers, saving up to 25% by paying online, going paperless, setting up automatic payments, or paying for the whole policy upfront rather than overtime. Be sure to look through all the discounts that our insurer offers to make sure you are taking advantage of as many available discounts as you can.
