As we all know, we are made by law to be insured when driving a car. Sadly many people (including me until recently) spend thousands of dollars too much over the years on these insurances, since the cost of comparable insurance quotes between different insurance companies differs a lot.
In this article I'm going to show you how to pay the very minimum needed by the law, in just 10 steps.
1. Start off by looking for as many quotes as possible. Get at least five different prices, you'll be amazed by the changes you will find.
2. Include at least four quotes from Internet-based companies, they tend to be very competitive because of lower costs. But stick to larger companies, the others might not help you when you need it.
3. Select a high deductible. The deductible is the amount of money you need to pay in the case of an accident. Increasing this from $250 to $1000 (most insurances have a default $250 deductible) will get you a discount of up to 50%. If that seems a big risk, then think of the following: if the discount is as much as the deductible itself, you hardly lose any cash in the total sum, even if you have an accident! You just get a good discount if you dont!

4. Review your Policies regullarly, your insurance company might "forget" to improve your premium even if you have driven accident-free the last year.
5. Takefamily off the insurance, if you have family that occasionally drive your car.
6. If you are driving an cheap car then you can drop the collision rate, this is especially important if the car is worth the same or less as the deductible + the monthly insurance.
7. Ask for bigger Discounts, this is the easiest way to get cheap car insurance: just ask for it. Dont forget ask for the upcoming discounts.
8. Read your policy thoroughly, many insurance companies try to include little additions that seem harmless, but, summed up, actually add up significantly to your monthly quote.
9. If you have a wife/husband try to put the insurance on the women's name, it is proven that women make fewer accidents than men so insurance companies charge women less.
10. Lastly include combinations (this is called bundling):

Insuring your home|and your car at the same insurance company can save you from 20% to 25%

In total these tips can save you upto 70% which for an insurance of 2000$ a year would save you 1400$.

And that is only on your car, combining your car insurance with your home insurance (bundling) is very effective, I recommend you to start with this, to find out everything you need to know about bundling go to www.everythingaboutcarinsurance.com/combining-car-and-home-insurance/.
