Introduction
If you've ever wondered why some people pay more for car insurance than others, it's probably because they're getting a better deal. Car insurance can be confusing, with different rates and policies for different drivers. Make sure that your next insurer knows how safe you are behind the wheel (and then make sure they know what that means).
Get quotes from a variety of insurers.
When comparing car insurance companies, it’s important to get quotes from a variety of insurers. This is because insurance companies have different policies and rates, so you may be able to save money by switching providers.
Get quotes from at least three or four insurers. Most people only get one quote—and that may not be enough information for them to make an informed decision about which company is best for their needs. By getting multiple quotes from different sources (like Google or your local newspaper), you can compare prices and coverage options side-by-side in an easy way that makes it easier for consumers like yourself who aren't experts at this stuff yet but want some help making choices based on sound research rather than just guessing blindly based on price alone (which often leads us into trouble).
Look for the right mix of customer service and coverage.
Before you sign up for a new car insurance policy, look for the right mix of customer service and coverage.
Look for a company with a good reputation. It doesn't matter how cheap your premiums are if you have to spend hours on the phone with customer service trying to figure out why it took so long for your payment to be processed or why they can't tell you if they're going to cover any damages caused by hitting an animal while driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour (that last one is real).
Look for companies that offer good customer service. You'll want someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to handling claims and making sure everything gets resolved in short order; otherwise, chances are good that this will become another source of frustration for both parties involved—you as well as those who work at these companies—and could lead them both into feelings like anger or sadness which may not actually make sense given how much money has already been spent without getting any results either way...

Consider bundling your home and auto insurance.
You can save up to 20% by bundling your home and auto insurance policies. However, don't do this if you have a mortgage with a low interest rate or if your credit score is less than 650 (or it's been more than two years since the last time you had insurance). Also don't do it if you're planning on moving within the next year—you'll have to pay an additional $500 in premiums when switching companies.
Consider usage-based or pay-per-mile car insurance.
If you're looking for a car insurance policy that charges based on how much you drive, then usage-based or pay-per-mile is the way to go. Usage-based insurance tracks how much time and miles you spend in your vehicle and bills based on that data. Pay-per-mile is another type of usage-based coverage which calculates each mile driven as part of a larger monthly charge at the end of every month (or year).
Do your research to find the best car insurance for you, and don't forget about discounts for bundling policies or being a safe driver.

Consider bundling your home and auto insurance—if you own both vehicles, you may be able to save money by combining your policies into one contract with a single company or agent (check with them first). You can also contact the same company to see if they offer any special deals for bundling; some companies provide discounts on certain types of coverage if you bundle with others who also need it in their network
Conclusion
There are lots of factors to consider when choosing the right car insurance. Be sure to understand your coverage needs and shop around for quotes before making a decision.
