Discount Chrysler Pacifica insuranceSad but true, about 70% of customers have been with the same company for a minimum of four years, and almost half have never compared auto insurance rates at all. The average driver in the U.S. could pocket approximately $860 a year just by shopping around, but they won't spend time to find cheap rates by getting comparison quotes.

If your goal is the lowest price, then the best way to find low-cost auto insurance rates is to compare prices annually from different companies in Santa Ana. Rates can be compared by following these steps.

First, spend some time learning about what is in your policy and the measures you can take to keep rates in check. Many rating criteria that are responsible for high rates such as speeding tickets, careless driving and bad credit can be amended by being financially responsible and driving safely.

Second, get rate quotes from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive agents and direct companies can only give rate quotes from one company like Progressive or Allstate, while independent agents can give you price quotes from multiple sources. View companies

Third, compare the price quotes to your existing policy to see if switching to a new carrier will save money. If you find a better price and switch companies, verify that coverage does not lapse between policies.

One piece of advice is to use the same liability limits and deductibles on every quote and and to get price estimates from all possible companies. This helps ensure a level playing field and many rates to choose from.

If you have a current auto insurance policy, you stand a good chance to be able to shop for the lowest rates using the techniques covered below.

Save a ton on Chrysler Pacifica insurance in Santa Ana with these car insurance discounts

Some companies do not advertise the complete list of policy discounts very well, so the list below contains a few of the more well known and also the lesser-known car insurance savings.

  • No Claims - Drivers who don't have accidents pay much less as opposed to policyholders that have many claims.
  • Use Seat Belts - Drivers who always wear seat belts and also require passengers to buckle up before driving could cut 10% or more off the medical payments premium.
  • Save over 55 - Drivers that qualify as senior citizens can get a slight reduction on a Santa Ana auto insurance quote.
  • Service Members Pay Less - Being deployed with a military unit could trigger a small discount.
  • Discount for Multiple Policies - If you combine your home and auto policies with one company you will save over 10 percent off each policy depending on the company.

As is typical with insurance, some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as collision or personal injury protection. So even though they make it sound like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, it doesn't quite work that way.

The best car insurance companies and some of the premium reductions they offer include:

  • Mercury Insurance has discounts for multi-policy, annual mileage, multi-car, ease of repair, and low natural disaster claims.
  • Farmers Insurance may include discounts for pay in full, mature driver, homeowner, distant student, and good student.
  • Farm Bureau may have discounts that include good student, youthful driver, renewal discount, 55 and retired, and multi-policy.
  • State Farm offers discounts including Drive Safe & Save, Steer Clear safe driver discount, safe vehicle, anti-theft, student away at school, good student, and accident-free.
  • Allstate includes discounts for EZ pay plan discount, multi-policy, anti-lock brakes, premier discount, utility vehicle, safe driver, and farm vehicle.
  • GEICO discounts include multi-policy, seat belt use, defensive driver, emergency military deployment, anti-theft, and driver training.

  • Should I have a commercial auto policy?
  • What is the premium to book value ratio for dropping full coverage?
  • Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
