WOW, great savings you got there! It definetely pays to compare car insurance companies by doing some quotes each year, especially as it’s getting easier with the internet. In as little as 15 minutes you can get quote from up to 12 different companies. It cost nothing to do and this way you make sure you have the best deal, even if it’s by staying with your current company.

Like some of the comments already mentioned, it often pays to stay with the same company. I’m currently with State Auto, a relatively unknown insurance company, but they have competitive rates and sizable discounts for staying with them and for having a good credit score. Occasionally, I look around, see what other companies offer, and my current company still offers the most competitive rates. So I just wanted to reiterate that people should not switch for the sake of switching, be smart in your decision-making process.

I’ve shopped around from time to time, but because I’ve been with my insurance company for close to ten years now, and have my apartment/renter’s insurance with the same company, it’s very well. The discount for staying with the company is pretty significant.

I think your key comment in your article is to shop around just prior to your renewal. I’m sure they all have a lead database that tracks expirations. You’ll definitely be able to get the best deal at this time.

Keep in mind also that many auto insurance companies are starting to offer incentives to stay with them year after year. You can get additional discounts or other features added to your policy for free after a certain amount of time holding a policy or going accident free.

Well, everyone knows you can save 15% in 15 minutes or less just by calling… nevermind.

Seriously, though, I did just this, and I saved about $35 a month (25%) on my car insurance by switching companies.

Great job! A few hundred dollars a year makes a big difference! I did this just over a year ago when my wife and I got married and consolidated our home and car policies into one poilcy. We saved almost $100 per month! We haven’t looked at any other companies since then, but it might be a good idea to get a quote sometime soon. We may be able to save a little more.

This is a great tip for people wanting to save a little extra money. I’ve actually done this myself and saved just over $200.00 a year just by taking the time to research different policies. As you mentioned, make sure to do this before the policy ends or you can be looking at paying out a penalty fee.
