How to lower your insurance costs in Alabama
You might be surprised by how easy it is to get cheaper car insurance in Alabama. Use the tips below to help you save money on your coverage:
Drive safely
Many insurers offer discounts if you let them track your driving habits. You can also get lower rates if you avoid speeding tickets and other risky behaviors.
Bundle your policies
Companies often offer cheap car insurance if you buy your renters or homeowners coverage from them, too.
Look for other discounts
Many insurance companies offer discounts for driving safely, renewing your policy, and driving your car less often. Check if you’re eligible for any discounts when getting quotes from insurers.
Choose your car carefully
Newer cars usually have high-tech features that affect your insurance costs. New cars might be more expensive than older models, but they can cost less to insure because they’re safer to drive and less likely to cause bodily injury.
Choose minimum coverage
Liability-only coverage is cheaper than full coverage because it only pays for property damage and bodily injuries you cause to others. Opting for minimum coverage can save you money on your premium.
Compare rates
Average rates can differ between insurers, so comparing options can save you money.[5] Even if you’ve been with the same company for years, you may be able to find similar coverage for less money with another insurer. Use an insurance-comparison site to make sure you get the most affordable rates.
