The bad news, if you're looking for car insurance in Phoenix, AZ, is you're going to pay more than people in 33 other states. The good news is that you can take steps to save money and dramatically reduce the cost of your insurance.
Why is Car Insurance So Expensive in Phoenix?
There are a couple reasons car insurance costs so much in Phoenix. First, the entire state has high rates of vehicle theft. And second, the population is growing rapidly. More people means more accidents and higher insurance rates.
You Can Save on Insurance
To get the lowest rates possible on your car insurance, follow these tips:
* Raise your comprehensive and collision deductibles. This can save you up to 50% on your insurance.
* Before you buy a new car, check how much it will cost to insure it. Look for a car with safety devices and anti-theft devices, both of which may give you discounts on your insurance. Also look for cars that are rated to withstand accidents well and that are not popular targets for car thieves.
* Check if you can get a discount on your insurance for taking a defensive driving class.
* Keep your driving record clean.
* Keep your credit record in good shape.
* Comparison shop and get at least three quotes from different companies. The easy way to comparison shop is to go to an insurance comparison website. There, you can type in your insurance information and receive quotes from multiple A-rated insurance companies.
On the best insurance comparison websites, you can also talk with insurance experts online or by phone to get answers to any car insurance questions you may have (see link below).
