Auto Insurance premiums may differ from company to company, but with most of the providers you can save by:

1. Maintaining good driving record: Drive careful to avoid accidents, speeding and other tickets

2. Never accepting the first estimate you receive: Be sure to get quotes from different insurance providers. Contact providers that are strongly recommended by people you know, get referrals.

3. Choosing to have higher deductibles: Having higher deductible will reduce your premium. But look at your finances first and determine whether you can set aside $ 500-$1000 periodically to create an emergency vehicle fund.

4. Buying multiple policies from the same company: Get account credit for buying home, auto and other insurance policies from the same carrier.

5. Most policies are based on your personal credit record: Having good credit history can lower costs. Pay bills on time, and be sure that credit balances are as low as possible.

6. Avoiding duplicating medical coverage: Find out whether eliminating medical coverage in auto insurance will reduce your premiums. If you have adequate health insurance you could weigh the pros and cons of eliminating this coverage in auto insurance.

7. Taking advantages of discounts offered by insurance companies: Such as low risk career, multiple car discount, package discount, low mileage, taking public transport to work, car pooling, no violations or accidents, taking defensive driving courses, following safety rules and regulations, or having a child who studies far away or has good grades.
