Reduce Your Car Insurance Premiums By 50-65%

If you need money badly, you can reduce your car insurance by 50-65% by taking the following steps:

1. Visit a free service like http://freeinsurancepricequotes.com

2. Select your insurance type (car or 'home and car'), enter your zip code and click 'Start Quote'

3. Fill out the necessary information concerning your vehicle(s)

4. RAISE YOUR DEDUCTIBLE TO $1000

5. Select "State Minimums" for your Liability Coverage

6. Select '0' for Uninsured Motorist

7. Drop Comp/Collision coverage for older vehicles if the cost of your deductible plus the cost of your insurance exceeds the value of the vehicle, making it economically unsound to repair the vehicle if it is severely damaged in an accident.

Finish filling out the necessary information. You will be matched with several major Insurance Companies who are bidding for your insurance business. They will email you quotes very quickly, and provide contact information in case you have any questions and need to speak to an agent.

Spending 10 minutes to get insurance price quotes from Major companies can save you hundreds of dollars each year on your auto insurance. If you have several vehicles, you can save thousands.

Remember there is risk in selecting "State Minimums" for Liability coverage. If you own a home and/or have substantial assets, these can be used to collect damages if you cause an accident where severe injury or damage results. Only you can decide if the risk/reward is worth the money you save on your car insurance.

Find Cheap Teen Car Insurance Using Free Insurance Price Quotes

Teenage drivers are the riskiest drivers to insure, because they are the likeliest to be involved in an accident. Lack of experience, distractions such as rowdy friends in the car, their listening to loud music and cell phone use are some of the causes of accidents, and it is not easy to find cheap car insurance for them.

However, there are steps that can be taken to lower teen car insurance. They are more likely to find lower rates if they have a 3.0 or better average in school and belong to community groups like Girl Or Eagle Scouts, since Insurance Companies view these type of teenagers as lower risk by being more responsible.

Driving a safe car as opposed to a roll-over prone SUV, for example, makes for lower insurance rates. If you buy your teenager an expensive, high-performance sports car, be prepared to pay an astronomical amount to insure it. No matter what type of vehicle, make sure it has all the approved safety features like anti-theft, automatic seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and daytime running lights to make sure insurance payments are kept to a minimum.

Above all, since all Insurance companies have different qualifying parameters, make sure you get several insurance price quotes from the major companies to compare before you buy insurance. The differences in insurance quotes can be drastic, and by comparing insurance quotes the savings can be substantial.

A free service I like to use is http://freeinsurancepricequotes.com, which quickly gives you 5 quotes from major companies like Kaiser Permanente, State Farm, Progressive, MetLife, Geico, and has saved hundreds on my teenager's car insurance. You just have to put your zip code into the Quote Box and click "Start Quote"
