How can I lower my NJ automobile insurance rates?
There are a number of things you can do to lower the cost of your NJ automobile
insurance. The easiest thing to do is to shop around. It is not surprising to
find quotes on automobile insurance that can vary by hundreds of dollars for the
same coverage on the same car. When you shop, be careful to make sure each
insurer is offering the same coverage. Many insurers use the ISO policy forms,
but this is not always the case.
Another way to lower the cost of your automobile insurance is to look for any
discounts that you may qualify for. For example, many insurers will offer you a
discount if you insure multiple cars under the same policy, or if you have had a
driver education class in the last five years. Be sure to ask your agent or your
company about their discount plans.
Another easy way to lower the cost of your automobile insurance is to increase
the deductible. Simply raising your deductible from $250 to $500 can lower your
premium sometimes by as much as five or ten percent. However, you should be
careful to make sure that you have the financial resources necessary to handle
the larger deductible.
First you will have to determine if you have more than 7 points on you history. These are moving violations added to insurance surcharge points. If you have 7 or more points go here NJ High Risk Auto.
