Getting Cheap Vehicle Insurance

By Joseph Bishop


It certainly can be hard to make the insurance payments, especially when you don't have a lot of money. But we'd still advise that you apply for insurance because it's wise to have it. Automobile insurance is very important since you can't control the actions of the vehicles around you. But here are a few tips on finding the least expensive automobile insurance.

Most road accidents belong to people between the ages of 20-35 because in most of the cases they drive fast and roughly. Therefore, most of the car insurance companies charges higher amounts on their car insurance policies because they cover a lot of risks. People under the age of 25 can however still get car insurance under their parents' name.

The one holding the policy, then, is the person who's older. And the automobile needs to be registered to the parents, also. The young person must live with the parents because the car must be attached to their home. They're the owners and the address given for the car has to be their address.

Be a safe driver and you'll surely pay less in insurance. You'll probably be asked your driving history when you apply. Notify them if you've been in any accidents, where and when you drive, and if you've gotten speeding tickets or other moving violation tickets. You can't lie on this application because you will be caught.

People with a clean track record are awarded with less premiums and even discounts. Insurance companies can conduct background checks and they have databases recording your previous claims and involvement in road accidents. Do not add risk factors by committing driving offences like speeding and drunk driving. Having high risk factors is equivalent to high premiums.

Your car is assessed for its value and the premium is fixed accordingly. Anything that is added subsequently by a way of a sophisticated music system, neon taillights, automatic panels or other decorative equipment is bound to raise the value of your car. So, the old premium is no longer valid and you will need a fresh assessment.

As the insurance premium fee in some cases is determined on the basis of the distance travelled by your vehicle, the quantum of the premium can be brought down by reducing the mileage, for which you need to travel by walking or by depending on public transport for short distant destinations.

Though it may sound funny, one way to reduce the insurance premium is to get married. The premiums for couples are significantly less when compared to that of single people and are still less once under the age of twenty-five. Married people are considered to be more responsible and therefore highly careful while driving. This is a fact as far as car insurance premiums goes though it appears highly prejudiced.
