Ways to lower what you pay

  • Keep the state minimum only on an old car you could replace with cash: dropping collision and comprehensive saves $757 a year on the Alabama average.
  • Raise your deductible; the money you save in a year often beats the extra you'd pay on a single claim.
  • Ask for each discount by name: good student, multi-car, paying in full, bundling home and auto, safe-driving apps.
  • Compare prices again at each renewal; one price rising doesn't mean the others rose too
