To save the most money, the best way to get more affordable car insurance rates is to make a habit of regularly comparing prices from companies in El Paso.
- First, take a little time to learn about the different coverages in a policy and the measures you can take to keep rates low. Many things that increase rates like accidents, traffic tickets, and a substandard credit history can be eliminated by making lifestyle changes or driving safer.
- Second, obtain price quotes from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Direct and exclusive agents can only give prices from one company like Progressive or Allstate, while independent agencies can provide prices for many different companies.
- Third, compare the new quotes to your existing rates to see if cheaper Cruze coverage is available. If you find better rates and decide to switch, ensure coverage does not lapse between policies.
The key thing to remember is to try to use the same amount of coverage on each quote and and to analyze every insurance company. Doing this guarantees a level playing field and plenty of rates choose from.
Unimaginable but true, the vast majority of consumers have bought car insurance from the same company for four years or more, and roughly 40% of drivers have never even compared quotes to find affordable rates. Many drivers in Texas can save 70% each year just by getting comparison quotes, but they underestimate the actual amount they would save if they just switched companies.
Buying the cheapest protection in El Paso is not that difficult. If you already have coverage or just want to reduce your rates, use these cost-cutting techniques to get lower rates while maintaining coverages. Shoppers just need to learn the fastest way to get comparison quotes from many companies at once.

Lower rates by qualifying for discounts
Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but companies offer discounts that you may not even be aware of. Certain discounts will be triggered automatically at the time of purchase, but some discounts are required to be manually applied before being credited.
- No Claim Discounts - Insureds who avoid accidents and claims pay less as opposed to accident-prone drivers.
- Paperwork-free - A handful of insurance companies will give a small break just for signing your application on the web.
- Auto/Life Discount - Select insurance companies reward you with a break if you buy a life policy as well.
- Drive Less and Save - Low annual miles could be rewarded with lower insurance rates due to less chance of an accident.
- Senior Citizen Rates - Drivers over the age of 55 may be able to get reduced rates.
- Driver Safety - Participating in a course in defensive driving can save you 5% or more and make you a better driver.
- Discount for Good Grades - Being a good student may save as much as 25% on a El Paso car insurance quote. Earning this discount can benefit you up to age 25.
Don't be shocked that some of the credits will not apply to the entire policy premium. Most only cut specific coverage prices like liability, collision or medical payments. Just because it seems like it's possible to get free car insurance, it just doesn't work that way.

Car insurance is not optional
Despite the high cost, insuring your vehicle serves an important purpose.
- Almost all states have compulsory liability insurance requirements which means it is punishable by state law to not carry a specific level of liability protection if you don't want to risk a ticket. 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 your Cruze has a lienholder, almost all lenders will stipulate that you have full coverage to guarantee loan repayment. If you do not pay your insurance premiums, the lender may insure your Chevy for a much higher rate and make you pay for the expensive policy.
- Car insurance protects not only your Chevy but also your financial assets. It will also provide coverage for hospital and medical expenses for you, your passengers, and anyone else injured in an accident. Liability coverage, the one required by state law, also covers legal expenses in the event you are sued. If you have damage to your Chevy as the result of the weather or an accident, collision and comprehensive (also known as other-than-collision) coverage will pay to have it repaired.
The benefits of insuring your car more than offset the price you pay, especially if you ever need it. Today the average American driver is overpaying over $825 a year so it's important to compare rates each time the policy renews to be sure current rates are still competitive.

When in doubt talk to an agent
Keep in mind that when it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really isn't a one-size-fits-all type of policy. You are unique.
For instance, these questions may help you determine whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.
- Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
- What does UM/UIM cover?
- Does my policy cover me when driving someone else's vehicle?

- Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
- Should I buy full coverage?
- Are my friends covered when driving my Chevy Cruze?
- Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?

If you are wanting to find an insurance agent, it helps to know the two types of agencies and how they work. Agents can either be exclusive or independent. Either one can handle insurance, but we need to point out the subtle differences because it can influence the kind of agent you use.
Independent Insurance Agents
Independent agents are not required to write business for one company so as a result can place your coverage with a variety of different insurance companies and get the cheapest rates. If prices rise, your agent can just switch to a different company and you don't have to find a new agent. If you are trying to find cheaper rates, it's a good idea to get some free quotes from multiple independent agents in order to compare the most rates.
