How can I get cheaper car insurance?

You may be able to get cheaper car insurance by comparing car insurance quotes from several companies. Prices often vary by hundreds of dollars for the same coverage among insurers, so comparison shopping can pay off.

Here are some additional ways to get cheaper car insurance:

Bundle auto and home insurance. If you buy both policies from the same company, you may qualify for a “bundling” discount. This is typically one of the biggest ways to save.
Drive safely. Accidents, claims and moving violations can lead to higher rates.
Ask about additional discounts. You might be eligible for auto insurance discounts such as professional discounts, good student discounts and car safety feature discounts.
Maintain good credit. Auto insurance companies correlate poor credit with a higher chance you’ll make insurance claims. Using credit as a factor in car insurance pricing is banned in California, Hawaii and Massachusetts.
