Reduce your Auto Insurance Durham NC

Gals, Want to Slash $500 off Your Auto Insurance?

(ARA) - You haven't spent less than $35 on a tank of gas in months, the family sedan needs four new tires and a brake job, and now, on top of everything else, your teenager just got his learner's permit. Add skyrocketing insurance rates to the long list of expenses tied to keeping your family mobile.

Insurance, however, is one expense you do have the power to reduce - especially if you're a woman with a good driving record. "The insurance industry recognizes that younger female drivers are generally involved in fewer claims and accidents than their male counterparts," says Karl Sowa of NetQuote.com, the Web's number one insurance comparison site. "That means a woman will likely be able to secure a lower rate than her brother, for the same type of coverage."

With the threat of a looming recession, women are finding it more important than ever to help their families reduce expenses. Of course, factors like what type of car you drive, where you live, how you use the car, and the age, sex and record of other drivers in your household will impact your overall rate. Generally, however, it's possible to save significantly on auto insurance simply by comparison shopping. At NetQuote.com, for instance, consumers save on average between $400 and $500 off their annual auto premiums, and for some preferred customers the savings can be nearly $1,000 a year.

Since time is money, and few of us have either to waste, the fastest and most cost-effective way to comparison shop for insurance is to go online. Web sites like NetQuote.com provide access to quotes from a broad range of insurers. Now, rather than spending hours on the phone calling multiple agents to get quotes, you can get the same information by filling out an online form that takes approximately five minutes to complete.

Within 24 hours, you can have multiple quotes from the nation's top insurers. Many NetQuote.com customers even find that they can actually improve their coverage and lower their rates at the same time. You can often realize further savings by bundling your auto and homeowners or renter's insurance policies with one company, since many offer multi-policy discounts.
