Save Money with These Tips

When buying car insurance it’s important to understand a few of the rating criteria that are used to determine the level of your policy premiums. If you have some idea of what influences your rates, this allows you to make educated decisions that could result in much lower annual insurance costs.

Bad credit will cost you – A driver’s credit score is a large factor in determining your rates. Consumers who have good credit tend to file fewer claims and have better driving records than drivers who have poor credit scores. Therefore, if your credit leaves room for improvement, you could save money insuring your Jeep Commander by repairing your credit.

Which gender costs less? – Statistics show that females take fewer risks when driving. However, don’t assume that females are better at driving than males. Women and men cause fender benders in similar percentages, but the men have costlier accidents. Not only are claims higher, but men get ticketed for serious violations like driving under the influence (DUI).

Insurance rates for married couples – Your spouse may save some money compared to being single. Having a significant other may mean you are less irresponsible and statistics show married couples file fewer claims.

What’s your car’s safety rating? – Vehicles that have high safety ratings tend to have better insurance rates. Vehicles built for safety reduce injuries and fewer injuries translates into savings for insurance companies passed on to you as lower rates. If your Jeep Commander has at least four stars on Safercar.gov or an “acceptable” rating on iihs.org it may be receiving lower rates.

Bundle policies with the same company – Lots of companies will award discounts to insureds who consolidate policies with them. It’s known as a multi-policy discount. Discounts can be ten or even fifteen percent. Even with this discount applied, you still need to check prices from other companies to ensure the best deal.

File car insurance claims and pay more – Auto insurance companies in Missouri provide better rates to policyholders who file claims infrequently. If you frequently file small claims, you can look forward to increased rates or even have your policy non-renewed. Auto insurance is designed for more catastrophic claims.

Here’s why insurance is not optional

Despite the high cost, insurance is mandatory in Missouri but it also protects more than you think.

• Almost all states have mandatory liability insurance requirements which means you are required to carry a specific level of liability in order to license the vehicle. In Missouri these limits are 25/50/10 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your Jeep, most banks will require you to have physical damage coverage to guarantee payment of the loan. If the policy lapses, the lender will be forced to insure your Jeep at a significantly higher premium and force you to pay the higher premium.
• Insurance safeguards both your assets and your vehicle. It will also reimburse you for hospital and medical expenses for you, any passengers, and anyone injured in an accident. Liability insurance will also pay to defend you if you are sued as the result of an accident. If damage is caused by hail or an accident, comprehensive and/or collision insurance will pay to have it repaired.

The benefits of insuring your Commander outweigh the cost, especially if you ever need it. Today the average American driver overpays more than $825 a year so compare rates once a year at a minimum to be sure current rates are still competitive.
