SAVE $1,000.00 PER YEAR ON AUTO AND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE. Studies lead that if you just use a little time comparing dues you can save about $1000.00 per year on auto and homeowner's protection. Visit http://www.geld-bei-versicherungen-sparen.de to inspect rates. There are other steps you can take to lower your car insurance premiums even more:
(1) raise your actuary so that your premiums will be lower -- but before you do this, make sure you have enough in an emergency fund to pay the higher deductible should you need to;
(2) cancel your collision insurance if your car is very old (worth less than $1,000). A benefit rule of thumb is to cancel your collision insurance when your car is ten years old and worth little more than your deductible;
(3) get rid of avoidable add-ons, such as towing insurance. This typically costs $50.00 per year -- when was the last time you had your car towed?;
(4) take a driver's safety course accepted by your insurance company to qualify for a deduction;
(5) combine your homeowner's insurance with your auto insurance and your insurer will likely give you a 10% discount;
(6) take benefit of especial discounts given to certain classes of end users. For example, those over 55 years old can get discounted insurance by joining AARP (visit www.aarp.com for more information) -- if you're an instructor, you can get a discounted rate (visit www.horacemann.com for more information) -- those who are currently in or retired from the military can get a discounted rate through Geico -- as much as 15% (visit www.geico.com for more info)

SAVE 5% TO 10% OF THE COST OF A POLICY. If you pay your premiums monthly, you add about 5 to 10% to the cost of the policy since the insurer must do added paperwork Pay your premiums semi-annually or annually and reduce your bill. Similarly, you can also reduce the cost by buying one big policy instead of several small ones. For example, one policy for $500,000 rather than two for $250,000. Other ways to cut costs:
-- Buy instantly from the insurance company rather than through an agent
-- Buy group insurance rather than individual policies
-- Avoid insurance that covers only one type of risk (cancer, credit life, flight) as these policies often duplicate your existing policies and are more expensive.
