Thanks for your email and your kind words. :) YES, there are a few things you can EASILY do to insure you get the lowest rate on your auto insurance.

1. Raise your deductible - that is the amount of the claim YOU will be responsible to pay for. Most people carry a low deductible...thinking they will save money when and if they have a claim, they will only pay out a small portion of the claim. The fact is though, with a low deductible you will be paying a MUCH higher annual premium....for YEARS!

If you are like me, I have not had a claim in over 10 years...if I had a low $250 deductible I would probably have been paying $300+ more per year in premiums than if I had raise my deductible to $1,000. During the last 10 years...that could have cost me $3,000 in additional premiums. If you are a safe driver with a good claim history....why pay that added amount each year?

And...you only pay the deductible amount if the claim was paid by your insurance company. So you have to have an accident and file a claim AND the claim has to be paid by your insurance before you will be required to pay the deductible amount.
