Q: Is it possible for someone to get a cheap SR22 insurance quote on a new car they have bought?

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

Q: If I have a new car, what kind of coverage do I need for my auto insurance policy?

A: As the driver of a new car, your responsibility for the well being of your car rises. Your financer, who you are paying for the car, doesn’t want to lose thousands of dollars because you wreck your car and then default on the payments, so a system is set up. If you want your new car, then you need to have collision, comprehensive, and gap insurance on your car insurance policy. If you don’t do this, your financer can take your car back.

You can make this cheaper by taking on even more responsibility, this time with your car insurance company. With the more money your insurance company has to pay when you file a claim, the more you will have to pay on your monthly premiums to make up for that. You can save here by raising your deductibles so that you have to pay out more before your insurance will kick in in the event of an accident.

Another way you can save a little bit of money is by paying your insurance all at once, for the entire six months to a year.

The BEST way to lower your rates is by raising your deductible amount to as high as you feel comfortable.  This will have a drastic impact on your annual premiums.
