Remarkably, a study showed that the majority of drivers have bought car insurance from the same company for well over three years, and nearly the majority have never compared car insurance rates at all. Most drivers in Texas could save an average of almost 70% each year by just comparing quotes, but they just don't understand how easy it is to do a rate comparison.
The best way to get budget car insurance rates in El Paso is to compare prices annually from different companies in Texas.
- Read and learn about the coverage provided by your policy and the measures you can take to keep rates in check. Many risk factors that increase rates such as at-fault accidents, careless driving, and an imperfect credit score can be improved by making minor driving habit or lifestyle changes.
- Compare rates from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Direct companies and exclusive agencies can only quote rates from a single company like GEICO or State Farm, while independent agencies can quote prices from many different companies. Compare rates
- Compare the new rate quotes to the premium of your current policy and see if you can save money. If you find a lower rate and switch companies, make sure there is no lapse in coverage.
- Give notification to your agent or company to cancel your current auto insurance policy. Submit a completed application and payment for your new policy. Immediately upon receiving it, put the new certificate verifying coverage somewhere easily accessible.
One important bit of advice is to make sure you enter the same amount of coverage on each quote request and and to compare all possible companies. This enables the most accurate price comparison and a better comparison of the market.
The quickest method to compare insurance rates in your area takes advantage of the fact most insurance companies provide online access to give free rates quotes.

When finding an insurance agent, it can be helpful to understand the different types of agents and how they operate. Insurance agents are either exclusive agents or independent agents.
Exclusive Insurance Agents
These agents can only write with one company and examples are State Farm or Allstate. Exclusive agencies are unable to provide rate quotes from other companies so they have to upsell other benefits. These agents are usually quite knowledgeable on sales techniques and that allows them to sell at a higher price point. A lot of people use the same exclusive agent mostly because of high brand loyalty rather than having the cheapest rates.
