Comparing car insurance prices is giving me a major headache! I feel like I’m doing everything right – I have a decent driving record, an older car, and I’m trying to find basic but reliable coverage. Yet, the quotes I’m getting still feel way too high. I’m hoping the savvy folks of Reddit can share their personal experiences and tips on how to find truly cheap car insurance in the US. What companies have worked for you, and what specific strategies did you use to lower your rates? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I used to pay a lot more with Liberty Mutual, but after getting a quote from MAPFRE, my rate was 60% lower for similar coverage. Loyalty doesn’t always pay off in the insurance world, and it’s crucial to get quotes from different companies regularly.
After doing their Snapshot program, my monthly rate with Progressive in Wichita, KS, dropped to $38, and this isn’t just liability coverage; I have more than the bare minimum. Utilizing telematics programs that monitor your driving habits can potentially lead to significant discounts.
I switched to Amica and saved a significant amount on my primary insurance in South Carolina, even with college-aged drivers on the policy. Sometimes, lesser-known regional insurers can offer better rates and service than the national giants.
I found liability-only coverage for around $30 a month through InsurancePanda. While this level of coverage isn’t suitable for everyone, especially those with newer or financed vehicles, it can be the cheapest option for older, less valuable cars.
