Not Shopping For Auto Insurance Could Cost You Money
Chances are that when you first signed up for your auto insurance policy, you spent at least a little time looking for the best coverage at the best rate. If you’re nearing the end of your policy term and you’re planning to auto-renew rather than go through the process again, you may end up paying too much for auto insurance or worse, find yourself underinsured. In some cases, shopping around for auto insurance can save you money on your monthly premium.
A Significant Life Event Might Change Your Rate
Earning a degree, getting married, having a baby, getting a new job or relocating; these are just a few of the major life events that can have a surprisingly profound impact on how much your auto insurance costs. If you’ve had a significant life change since you last signed up for auto insurance, then you may be able to lower your auto insurance rate.
State Minimum Coverage Laws May Change
While some auto insurance providers automatically bump up the policy limits of drivers with state minimum liability insurance when state minimum coverage laws change, you don’t want to take the chance that your policy may not be up to new requirements. Being underinsured isn’t just illegal, it can leave you in a tough spot financially if you’re at fault for an accident that you can’t afford to pay for. Shopping for a new auto insurance policy can help you ensure that your coverage limits comply with the law.
Your Vehicle May Be Worth Less
If you’re driving a 15-year old vehicle, then its market value is probably about the same today as it was six months ago. However, if you’re driving a fairly new vehicle, then it may have depreciated in value since you last received an auto insurance quote. This could translate into a lower auto insurance premium.
Your Credit Score May Have Improved
While the connection between your credit score and your auto insurance premium is still something of a mystery, it’s been shown that in most states, including Nevada, those with higher credit scores typically pay less for their auto insurance coverage than drivers with poor credit. If you’ve been working to improve your credit, then you may be able to reduce your auto insurance rate by shopping around.

Windshield / Glass Coverage
Windshield / glass coverage pays the amount of a covered glass loss, and as an added perk, it has a low deductible. Your insurer will cover the full costs of the repairs up to your policy limit, and as long as the costs of the damages don’t exceed your coverage limit, you’ll pay only your small deductible.
Term Life Insurance vs. Whole Life Insurance
Term life insurance policies will often have terms of one year to 30 years. Typically, the monthly premium (monthly payment) stays the same throughout the term of the policy. Whole life insurance provides coverage your whole life and it includes something called “cash value”. Think of it like a mini savings account attached to the policy.
Rental Reimbursement vs. K4 or K5 Coverage
Rental reimbursement would reimburse you for either your daily rental charges or your policy limit, whichever is less. It can be used after any covered collision or comprehensive loss (assuming you carry collision and comprehensive coverage). K4 and K5 coverage can also help with post-accident “loss-of-use” costs.
