Everyone’s looking to save money somewhere, anywhere now that food and gas prices have cut deep into disposable income. Do you at least compare auto insurance offers at renewal time every year?
Go to NAIC.org (National Organization of Insurance Commissioners) and click on NAIC states to find your state of residence. You can compare rates by matching yourself to a set of profiles; this is very imperfect but it’s a starting point. Other places you can start checking premiums are insweb.com and insurance.com.
I might add that if you belong to any organizations you may be eligible for special plans and rates. Members of AARP always get a competitive rate. Members of trade or fraternal groups almost always get some offers every year for their business. (This is true of life and health insurance also, and even IRA accounts.)
This is not a plug for AAA, but I just want to mention that as a member of AAA I get a discount on insurance, and by combining house and auto insurance I feel I am getting a nice package deal. You may belong to some other group or organization that gives you a similar benefit, and I say you’re very lucky to find deals like that. Go for it.
