Insurance business is leveling the profit of one person with the loss of another and hence insurance companies sell policies with the hope that the policy holder would never make a claim. In reality, most of the clients do not make expensive claims and for that section of people, car insurance would prove to be a burden that cannot be avoided. So, naturally such people tend to lower the cost of insurance and try to find ways and means of achieving it.
Of course, there are a number of ideas through which low cost insurance is feasible. When the deductible is low, the premium amounts are lowered and make insurance cost low. There are certain companies that offer discount on insurance policies if the driver has completed an approved course in driver’s safety. This is encouraged by many insurance companies and helps to lower the cost of car insurance.
When safety equipment like proper safety restraints and air bags are fitted, the car insurance can be lowered and likewise, anti theft devices like locks and alarms also bring down the cost of car insurance. Insurance companies believe that students with good grades would be good drivers, thereby, reducing claim on the policies and hence come forward to reduce the cost of car insurance.
Also, that a person who drives less will not be prone to accidents is a clear fact and insurance companies cash on this fact by offering discount for people who meet certain low mileage requirements and this varies from one company to another. Generally, established and reputed companies do offer low cost car insurance but the lesser known companies offer the lowest. This is done to compete with the giants of the insurance companies and the insurance policy holder can take advantage of it.
Reputed companies have latent extra charges that may not be recognized in the first glance and are borne by people who easily fall prey to these gimmicks, surprisingly. The credit score of a person also plays a role in determining the car insurance rates. People who have bad credit are considered to be of high risk by the insurance companies (probably the companies’ think that the car owner will be thinking about his debts all the time!) and hence low cost car insurance is offered to people with good credit history. So, before getting car insurance, attempts should be made to set right the credit score, if it is not good and the cost of car insurance will fall down automatically.
There would be certain offers during festive seasons or the like when car insurance is offered at low costs. This is the time to exploit and lower the rate of car insurance and several companies can be compared to get the lowest possible rate. There is other lesser trivial ways of reducing the cost of car insurance like paying the bills annually and avoid the hike which the companies do quite often.

So you are planning on buying a new car that’s great! And may I add congratulations! It is highly recommended that before you purchase your dream car you should shop around for reliable and cost effective auto insurance.
Your premium is based in part on the car’s sticker price, the cost to repair it, its overall safety record and the likelihood of theft. Many insurers offer discounts for features that reduce the risk of injuries or theft, such as air bags, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights and anti-theft devices.
Preventing theft will help you get better auto insurance rates.
Naturally, cars that are favorite targets for thieves cost more to insure. You might want to take that in consideration when buying your future car. Anti theft devices are a must and the more you have installed the better. Auto insurance companies know that anti theft devices substantially reduce the chances of your car being stolen and they will quote lower auto insurance rates when you have the devices installed.
I believe that installing anti theft devices will give you peace of mind. It is a known fact that when a thief looks through the window of your new car and sees a blinking red light indicating that the immobilizer is functioning and active he will most likely turn around and leave. Sometimes you might like to add some more devices like; Anti-Theft Steering Wheel Locks, car alarms and wheel clubs.
Save yours and others lives and still save money
You can reduce auto insurance rates and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries by adding safety features to your car such as; air-bags, anti- lock brakes and daytime running lights. The more safety features added to your car will help you save lives and save money at the same time. When buying a new car these safety features will cost more, don’t worry about that too much because in the long run you will see that your auto insurance payments will be lower and when you plan on selling your car in the future you will find a buyer in a short period of time. Not to mention that all these safety features make your car of higher value and therefore, they are a good investment.

my 17 year old son wants to buy a 2008 honda civic EX and he agrees to make the payments on the car. One problem is , how do i lower my insurance rates . IF my son is still considered a teenager. Could i put the car under my name so the insurance rates will be low ? please help
yes he does have a drivers liciense and he maintains a 3.0 GPA . and the 2008 civic is still under factory warranty. IDK if this helps or not?
Some insurances will have lower rates if the car is classified as a sedan, with ABS and vehicle stability assistance (VSA) on it or with engine size being less than a V6. If the car has air-bags and other safety features then that will help lower the rate. Insurances will sometimes give lower rates for teens who are good students and have a higher GPA and have attended safe driving classes.
