Anyone who has been affected by a car accident knows the value of auto insurance. But it’s a tricky thing to shop for because you’re trying to reconcile a cost spectrum with the fact that you hope to never have to use it. How do you balance monthly premiums with the worst-case scenario of totaling your car in an accident?

A perspicacious consumer can find a few ways to whittle away at the sometimes surprising costs of auto insurance. Discounts in auto insurance prices are not merely tied to unchangeable things like a driver’s age or circumstances such as marital status or the city one lives in. There are concrete ways to take the edge off your insurance costs. Take the following helpful tips into consideration when seeking out the best deal in an auto insurance policy.

1: Choose Your Vehicle Wisely

Getting a killer deal on a fancy new car is certainly exciting, but it’s best to look at potential insurance premiums before signing a check. One way to get a head start is to compare different car models online and then ask an insurer for quotes on each. Rates can vary significantly, even among cars of the same make. Since replacement costs are factored into premiums, it’s essential to consider not only how expensive the car would be to replace, but also the parts and labor costs involved in a repair.
