Comparing auto insurance premiums is a lot easier than it used to be, thanks to all the online services. But it can still be a bit frustrating. Depending on where you look, you might end up with different quotes, different rates and different types of coverage.
To get an accurate quote, you’ll need to start with the basics.
Write down information about the car or cars that you intend to insure: the make, model, year, trim line, and the vehicle identification number (VIN). How your vehicle holds up in a crash is very important to auto insurance companies. This should be a concern of your when you pick your car.
Modern cars usually have a lot of safety features. Make sure you know them. Installing extra safety and security devices on your vehicle is also something that can pay off. Be ready to ask your insurance company what kind of discount they are willing to offer you for things like anti-theft devices.
You’ll also need to give the age, sex, and recent driving record of all potential drivers.
Knowing how many miles you actually drive each year is also helpful. If you drive less than you think you do, it may help getting a better rate.
Where you live and where you normally park your car, is also something that many insurance companies will look at. Maybe, your current parking habits are something you can improve?
Finally, make up your mind about how much coverage you actually need.
With the facts at hand, you are ready to go shopping. An average consumer compares 3 rate quotes before choosing, you should probably ask for at least a handful of quotes. As long as they are free, you got nothing to lose.
Start by visiting The National Association of Insurance Commissioners website, look up your state and find your way to the local Department of Insurance. In most states, you will find a consumer buying guide that compares insurance premiums across a range of companies. Sample rates provided by the insurance companies will also give you a good idea about where to get the best deals.
Next, search for internet sites that let you get free quotes from different companies. Or look up the insurance company directly. Another option is, of course, to call the insurer and create a personal contact. You should, however, not go with your first offer, even if it sounds good.
The price might not be everything. Customer service can vary significantly between insurance companies. Proven track record in claims is probably something you also want to look at. Read reviews and talk to an agent. How does the billing and payment process work? Policy renewal and the claim-filing process? It is important that you choose a company that suits your personal needs.
As an example, you don’t see Amica very often on TV. In large surveys, however, its customers say Amica Mutual is terrific in many ways: low prices, helpful customer service and no hassles over claims.
So keep shopping!

Many of the details in the manual might seem irrelevant or insignificant for your driving skills. However, knowing your numbers is an important part of the examination.

If you start falling behind on payments, you probably know the consequences. Late fees, interest charges, credit score drop, and more. You know it sucks.
If you find yourself in that situation, you are not alone. A lot of Americans feel the pressure when it comes to meeting their financial commitments.
But there are things you can do to help yourself out of trouble.
First of all, act quickly and contact the lender. Never ignore the problem. Contacting the lender promptly will put you in a much better light than if you ignored the problem. The lender will most probably work with you to set up an alternative payment schedule, rather than demanding a missed payment straight away. Putting you in a better position to make future payments benefits both you and the lender.
However, things don’t stop there. Making a realistic budget will help you understand how and why you are falling behind on your bills. Get ready for some hard questions, and be honest with your answers. Can you do without a car for a year? Can you downgrade your cable or your phone plan? Stop eating out?
Adjust your needs and wants to fit the amount of money you got to spend. If you don’t spend more than you have, you are less likely to have bills or debts that you cannot pay. This is called living within your means.
What is important is that you don’t make the problem any worse. Studies suggest that many people are taking out further credit such as credit cards, or another loan, to make their loan repayments. This will only postpone the problem.
When it comes to your car loan, look at the agreement. It probably says that they can repossess your car any time you’re in default. No notice is required. If your car is repossessed, you must pay the balance due on the loan, as well as towing and storage costs, to get it back. Otherwise they will sell your car.
In this situation, you may be better off selling the car yourself and paying off the debt before they take the car. That way it will not hit your credit report.
Gas prices taking a toll on your wallet? Which is the best way to save money on gas?
Getting a car with better gas mileage is, no doubt, the best thing you can do. See the list at the end of this post from Consumer Reports for the most fuel-efficient cars.
But there are things you do even if you don’t want to buy a new car. Read the following to save money!
Keep a lower speed. Driving at 55 mph instead of 65 mph will improve your fuel economy with approximately 5 mpg. When Consumer Reports increased the Camry’s highway cruising speed from 55 mph to 65, the car’s fuel economy dropped from 40 mpg to 35. Speeding up to 75 mph cost the car another 5 mpg. Aerodynamic drag increases exponentially the faster you drive, and at highway speeds, more than 50 percent of engine power is used to overcome aerodynamic drag.
You should also avoid hard acceleration and braking whenever possible. Frequent bursts of acceleration and braking reduced the Camry’s mileage in Consumer Reports’ test by 2 to 3 mpg.
Tires are another important factor. Under inflated tires can reduce your fuel economy with another mpg. On top of that, under inflated tires affect handling and braking, and wear faster. And they run much hotter, which can lead to tire failure. Getting tires with lower rolling resistance is also an improvement you can make.
You should also remember that engines run most efficiently when they’re warm. Multiple short trips and starting with a cold engine each time increase your fuel consumption. It also adds to air pollution and your engine wear. Try to combine short trips into one, avoiding long stops.
Does it really make a difference? Isn’t it easier to save money on car insurance?
You should do both. The driving behavior described above will save you at least 10% on gas. Shopping for a good price on car insurance might also pay off.
