Nobody I know likes paying for auto insurance, particularly when the price is too high. Big-name insurance companies like Progressive, State Farm and GEICO continually hit you with advertising and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the propoganda and effectively compare rates to find the best deal.
If you have a current auto insurance policy or need new coverage, you can learn to shop for the lowest rates while maintaining coverages. Buying car insurance is easy if you know what you’re doing. Nevada vehicle owners just need to understand the most efficient way to get comparison rates over the internet.
Companies that sell car insurance don’t always list all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down some of the more common as well as the least known auto insurance savings. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you are paying more than you should be.
Consumers should know that some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only apply to individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So despite the fact that it appears all those discounts means the company will pay you, you’re out of luck.
Some consumers just want to visit with an insurance agent and that is OK! Good agents can point out coverage gaps and help you file claims. One of the best bonuses of comparing insurance prices online is the fact that you can find the lowest rates and still have an agent to talk to.
Upon completion of this simple form, your information is submitted to companies who will return price quotes to get your business. There is no need to drive around since price quotes are sent immediately to your email address. Now that’s easy!
Choosing an insurance company should depend on more than just the price. Ask your prospective agent these questions:
When searching for a reputable insurance agent or broker, you must know there are a couple different types of agents from which to choose. Nevada agents are categorized either independent or captive. While both can write coverage properly, but it’s good to learn the differences because it can influence the type of agent you choose
This type of agents write business for a single company and examples are State Farm, Allstate and AAA. These agents are unable to shop your coverage around so they have to upsell other benefits. Captives are well schooled on the products they sell which helps them compete with independent agents.
Independent insurance agents are not employed by any specific company so they can insure your vehicles with many different companies depending on which coverage is best. If you are not satisfied with one company, an independent agent can move your coverage without you having to go to a different agency. When searching for an agent, it’s recommended you contact at least one independent agent to get the best comparison.

Once you have received positive feedback and an acceptable price quote, it’s possible that you found an insurance agent that will insure your vehicles.
Consumers can’t ignore all the ads for the lowest price auto insurance by GEICO, State Farm and Progressive. They all make an identical promise that you can save after switching to their company.
How does each company make the same claim?
Insurance companies are able to cherry pick for the right customer they prefer to insure. An example of a driver they prefer could possibly be over the age of 50, has no tickets, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. Any driver that hits that “sweet spot” will get very good rates and therefore will save a lot of money.
Drivers who fall outside these standards must pay a higher premium and this can result in the customer not buying. The ad wording is “customers that switch” not “people who quote” save that much money. That’s the way companies can make those claims. This illustrates why drivers must get as many quotes as possible. You cannot predict which auto insurance company will give you the biggest savings.
