Do You Pay Too Much for Car Insurance?
Are you getting the auto insurance discounts you deserve? How much does your neighbor pay? It’s not a common topic of friendly conversation, and there are so many factors at play, it’s hard to know.
Maine auto insurance rates are the lowest in the country, averaging $902 (Louisiana is the highest at $2,511). Of course those rates vary depending upon a lot of factors. Even with our comparatively low insurance rates, some Mainers pay many times the average.
Traditional Factors Influencing Car Insurance Costs
- Type, age and value of your vehicles.
- Where you live and drive.
- How you use the vehicles (pleasure, commute, business use).
- Age and driving record of people who drive your vehicles (teenage drivers’ insurance rates are the highest).
- What deductibles and liability limits you choose.
Those factors probably have about a 75% impact on your insurance rates, but other, newer factors can make the difference between getting a fair deal on your insurance and a great one.
To Get the Best Price on Auto Insurance:
- Have an excellent insurance score (similar to a credit score – this can lower your premium by as much as 25%).
- Own a home.
- Combine your Maine Homeowners and Auto insurance with the same company.
- Maintain your insurance without lapse. Lapses cost dearly.
- Insure all your vehicles on the same policy.
- Do business with a local Maine Independent Agent, who represents more than one company, and can shop to find the best deal for you.
