If your goal is the lowest price, then the best way to get discount auto insurance rates is to start comparing prices yearly from different companies who provide car insurance in El Paso. Rate comparisons can be done by completing these steps.

  1. Spend some time learning about the different coverages in a policy and the factors you can control to prevent expensive coverage. Many risk factors that result in higher prices such as at-fault accidents, careless driving, and a less-than-favorable credit score can be eliminated by paying attention to minor details.
  2. Compare prices from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive agents and direct companies can give quotes from a single company like GEICO and Allstate, while agents who are independent can quote prices for a wide range of insurance providers.
  3. Compare the new quotes to the price on your current policy to determine if switching companies saves money. If you find a better price and decide to switch, ensure there is no coverage lapse between policies.
  4. Tell your current agent or company to cancel your current auto insurance policy and submit a down payment along with a completed application to the newly selected company. Once received, place the new proof of insurance certificate in your glove compartment.

One piece of advice is that you'll want to compare the same liability limits and deductibles on every price quote and and to look at as many car insurance companies as possible. Doing this ensures the most accurate price comparison and the best rate selection.

Why car insurance is not optional

Despite the high cost, insurance serves a purpose in several ways.

  • Most states have mandatory liability insurance requirements which means you are required to carry specific minimum amounts of liability insurance in order to drive the car legally. In Texas these limits are 30/60/25 which means you must have $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of property damage coverage.
  • If you have a lien on your vehicle, most lenders will require you to buy insurance to protect their interest in the vehicle. If you default on your policy, the bank will be required to insure your Toyota for a much higher rate and require you to pay the higher price.
  • Car insurance preserves your car and your assets. Insurance will pay for many types of medical costs for both you and anyone you injure as the result of an accident. One policy coverage, liability insurance, also pays expenses related to your legal defense if anyone sues you for causing an accident. If your Toyota gets damaged, your car insurance policy will pay to restore your vehicle to like-new condition.

The benefits of insuring your car outweigh the cost, particularly if you ever have a claim. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is wasting up to $820 a year so compare rate quotes at least once a year to help ensure money is not being wasted.

Check for these money saving discounts

Some providers don't always publicize the complete list of policy discounts very clearly, so here is a list some of the best known and the harder-to-find credits available to lower your premiums when you buy El Paso auto insurance online.Save money with discounts

  • Multiple Vehicles - Buying a policy with more than one vehicle on one policy can reduce rates for all insured vehicles.
  • Sign Early and Save - Some larger companies reward drivers for signing up before your current coverage expires. It can save you around 10%.
  • Auto/Life Discount - If the company offers life insurance, you could get a discounted premium rate on car insurance if you buy life insurance from them.
  • Good Student Discount - Maintaining excellent grades may save you up to 25%. The discount lasts well after school through age 25.
  • Safety Restraint Discount - Forcing all vehicle occupants to use a seat belt can save 10% or more on the premium charged for medical payments and/or PIP.
  • Pay Upfront and Save - If paying your policy premium upfront rather than paying in monthly installments you may have a lower total premium amount.
  • Anti-theft Discount - Cars that have factory anti-theft systems are stolen with less frequency and qualify for as much as a 10% discount.
