Auto Insurance rates vary widely from company to company, so it pays to shop around. It is recommended that shoppers get at least three auto insurance quotes.

You buy auto insurance for financial and peace of mind. It's important to pick an insurer that is financially stable. Check the financial health of insurance companies with rating companies such as A.M. Best andor Standard & Poor's as well as consumer magazines that may provide insurance company ratings.
Another way to save money on auto insurance rates is to, check into the underlying insurance costs before you buy a new or used car. Your insurance premium is based in part on the car's sticker price, the cost to repair it, its overall safety record, and the likelihood of theft. Many insurers offer discounts for features that reduce the risk of injuries or theft. These include air bags, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights and anti-theft devices. Some states require insurers to give discounts for cars equipped with air bags or anti-lock brakes. Cars that are favorite targets for thieves cost more to insure than cars that are rarely broken into or stolen.
Increasing your deductible is another way to reduce your monthly insurance premium. Deductibles represent the amount of money you pay before your insurance policy kicks in. By requesting higher deductibles, you can lower your costs substantially. For example, increasing your deductible from $200 to $500 could reduce your collision and comprehensive coverage cost by 15% to 30%. Going to a $1,000 deductible can save you 40% or more. But remember increasing your deductible means that you will be responsible for larger out-of-pocket costs if you do have an accident.
