Georgia Drivers May Experience Lower Car Insurance Rates
It looks like safe driving habits have paid off for Georgia residents. State Farm has announced they will soon be rewarding their customers with lower car insurance rates, but they are not the only ones. Earlier this year, two other major insurance companies, Geico and GMAC, lowered their car insurance rates as well. Hopefully soon, other companies will follow in their footsteps.
Given the current economic conditions, paying lower car insurance premiums can help residents of Georgia keep a little extra money in their pockets for other expenses. Keeping these rates low is something that drivers will need to work hard to do. Keeping accidents and claims to a minimum allow car insurance companies to offer lower Georgia car insurance rates to their existing and new customers. Once the car insurance companies start paying out claims for accidents and loss, rates will start to go back up.
If you are a driver in Georgia, and are not affected by the lower car insurance rates offered by these companies, there may be options available to you with your current carrier. Some car insurance companies offer discounts and incentives to their customers, and knowing what to look for can help you save money on your car insurance premiums.
Safe Driver Discount If you are a safe driver, inquire about getting a safe driver discount. Companies like Allstate offer this discount to their customers.
Student Discounts Students and recent graduates may qualify for a discount on their car insurance premiums.
Multiple Car Discount Do you have more than one car? Try and get both cars on the same policy. Most insurance companies will offer lower rates to customers who have more than one car on a policy.
Defensive Driver Discount Ask you insurance agent if your car insurance company offers a defensive driver discount. Companies like State Farm Insurance offer a discount for taking an approved defensive drivers course.
Bundling Your Insurance Policies If you own a home and have homeowners insurance, ask your agent if the company offers car insurance and if you can get a discount by bundling it with your homeowners insurance. This will not only be convenient, but it can possibly save you money on both policies.
These are just a few of the many discounts that are offered by insurance companies, and they may help you get a lower car insurance rate.
There are also many other factors that car insurance companies use when determining your car insurance rates. Things like credit, driving history, age and gender, where you live, and even what kind of car you drive can determine your rate, and possibly get you some discounts.
