How can I reduce my premiums?

Your premiums will be based on the amount of risk you represent. If you reduce your risk, you will lower insurance rates as well. However, this risk is usually outside of your control. Some other strategies you might use to save include minimizing your coverage and raising your deductibles as much as possible. Higher deductibles will mean lower premiums.

If I have bad credit, can I still find lower insurance rates?

Bad credit doesn't necessarily mean that you will not have access to low insurance rates. Insurers calculate risk in different ways, and part of that risk includes your credit score. With one insurer, a bad credit score might mean hundreds of dollars more in premiums. With another insurer, a bad credit score may have only a negligible effect on your premiums. If you have bad credit, the best way to find affordable insurance rates is to shop around for multiple quotes.

How do I choose an insurance company?

First and foremost, you want a company that can offer you lower insurance rates. But, beyond that, you also need a company that is financially stable, customer-service oriented, and good about paying out claims. You can find most of this information on the department of insurance website for your state. For financial information, check an index like Moody's or Standard & Poor's.
