COLUMBUS, OH, Mar 25 (MARKET WIRE) --
SafeAuto Insurance Company offers drivers five tips to save money on car
insurance. SafeAuto's tips are based on more than a decade of experience in the
automobileinsurance industry, offering state required insurance coverage to an
underserved market.
"The combination of high gas prices and an unsteady economy has consumers
keeping
an eye on every dollar they spend, and automobile insurance is no
exception," Jon Diamond, president of SafeAuto said. "A growing number of
people who may have never thought about shopping auto insurance prices are
looking for low cost insurance options. Keeping customers legal for less has
always been the central mission at SafeAuto Insurance Company."
SafeAuto recommends the following tips to save money on car insurance:
1. Some cars cost more to insure. Sports cars and the more expensive
modelsare simply more expensive to insure because they are more expensive to
repair in an accident. Do some research before you buy, and ask your existing
insurance company if they use any specific criteria to determine the cost of
insuring a vehicle. Also realize cars can be re-classified causing your
insurance rates
to increase.
2. Arm yourself with an alarm. Installing safety and anti-theft devices
lower
your risk profile. The lower the risk of theft, the less expensive it will
be to insure your vehicle. Be sure to tell your insurance company about the
devices you have installed.
3. Reduce drive time. Drivers who average 40 miles or less a day qualify for
low
mileage discounts with most car insurance companies.
4. Determine a deductible amount. Higher deductibles usually mean cheaper
insurance policies. If you are prepared to pay a higher amount in the
eventof an accident, you can save money by increasing your deductible.
5. Play it Safe. Your driving record can significantly impact your insurance
costs. If you've had multiple accidents or moving violations you're likely
to have a higher insurance bill. Drivers with safe driving records also
often qualify for discounts on their policies. The easiest way to be a safe
driver is to pay attention to your driving. Do not use cell phones or other
electronicdevices while driving, and never drive while under the influence of
drugs or
alcohol.
