    5 Ideas for Lowering Car Insurance Costs

    What you pay monthly for premiums is not a fixed payment. Did you know that you can lower your car insurance costs regularly? You may even qualify for certain options today and can use other ways to reduce them over time.

    1. Be a Safe Driver

    Some companies, like Allstate, offer incentives like money back for driving safely over a given time. Other companies are willing to reduce your premiums if you are a safe driver without any moving violations. When accidents happen, premiums go up considerably, so being a safe driver is the best way to keep your premiums low.

    Some companies also offer behavior tracking services. These services keep track of your speed, acceleration, braking, and usage. A device is attached, and it sends back information to the insurance company. If your information proves you are a safe driver, you will pay less in premiums.

    1. Buy a Car That Insurance Companies Like

    Not to say that insurance companies don’t like to insure all cars, but certain vehicles cost less to insure than others. Unfortunately, this price comparison makes a big difference in the premiums you can expect to pay. If you are out and about regularly, you are going to want full coverage insurance, so consider choosing a daily driver that costs less to insure. That does not mean you can’t get that sporty or expensive luxury car, but it might be wise to use it sparingly to lower your premiums.

    You might also want to consider whether you need liability or comprehensive coverage. If you have an older car that isn’t worth the comprehensive coverage, you may consider choosing liability only. To help you make that decision, consider the amount insurance would pay to replace your car and decide if the cost is worth it for you.

    1. Safety Features Matter

    If you didn’t know, insurance companies appreciate cars with extra safety features. These features go beyond air bags and include car safety technologies, including a lane keeping assist system and rear and forward-facing cameras. Driver awareness monitoring is another feature that could help lower your premiums. 

    If you are looking for a new car with lots of safety features, contact your insurance company and get a list of features that will lower the premiums. At that point, you can choose your new car with this information in mind to bring your cost down as much as possible.

    1. Defensive Driving

    Most people think of defensive driving as a way to get out of a speeding violation, but it does so much more than that for your premiums. If you are an otherwise safe driver, by proactively taking a defensive driver course that your insurance company approves, it is entirely possible to lower premiums even further. As a tip, check out a few places and make sure the course you choose does not cost more than the savings you’ll get for at least the first year.

    1. Compare Insurance Quotes

    Insurance companies want your business, and if you have been with them for a while, you might be able to get a discount there if you are considering looking for a new company. Some might even be willing to match a lower quote or throw in some additional perks so as not to lose your business. It’s worth shopping around to compare car insurance every couple of years before automatically renewing with your existing company to make sure you get the best policy for your hard-earned money.

    A Few Last Words on Lowering Your Car Insurance

    Lowering car insurance costs is a great way to cut overall monthly expenses. If you are serious about doing so and you’re a safe driver, that’s just the first step. Ensuring your car is insurance-friendly will help, too. Do not forget to tell the insurance company about your safety features, or when you buy a new car, get one with all the features your insurance company likes. Add defensive driving, and you’ve got it made. Shop around to compare insurance to get what will be best for you and your budget.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_
