A: Yes, it is possible to get a cheap SR22 insurance quote on a new car, but how cheap the quote will be depends on the kind of car you have recently bought. If you have a sensible, mid sized, economic car that wasn’t too expensive and had a good safety rating, then you have the best chance of getting the cheapest  quote. For any other car, though, you’re going to have to get some dirt under your fingers.

For anybody who owns a new car, of any type, your SR22 insurance quote can be cheapened by taking on more risk, which can be done by raising your deductibles. Every piece of extra coverage you have beyond basic liability has a deductible, which must be paid in the event of a claim before your car insurance company pays the risk. Let’s say you right now have a $500 deductible on all coverages. Your monthly premium will be high because your car insurance has most of the risk responsibility. If you raise it by a thousand dollars or more, though, your monthly insurance premium will be lower.

1. Raise your deductible amount to as high as you can

2. clean up your credit rating – poor rating equals higher insurance costs

3. join a credit union and ask them if they have insurance discounts – most do
