Insurance Tip of the Day

Shop around at your 19th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th birthdays. You see a premium reduction at that age. Compare it to your current insurance company, and threaten to cancel them if they don't change your age mid-term to lower your rate. Depending on your tenure (how long you've been with the company) they might make an exception and change it mid-term and give you the better rate on your birthday (instead of your renewal) to keep you as a customer.

It doesn't always work, but sometimes it does, and even if it doesn't, you should see a decrease in your insurance rates anyways due to the new age.

Woot! I didn't know there was one at 23 also! How much of a reduction are we talking? I'll be taking out insurance this year for the first time as a 19 year old but I have 4 points more .

Re: Insurance Tip of the Day

say hello to sky high insurance if you get a vr4....get a quote before you buy!

23 isn't a huge decrease, it's pretty small, but it's there.

Re: Insurance Tip of the Day

that's an easy question.
more experience. you have been driving for a few years, and have more experience. 21 year olds have a MUCH less chance of causing an accident than let's say 16 year olds.

Hey Gateway,
I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I was in an accident and didn't tell my insurance company (I didn't have collision, so I sucked up the loss). However, I landed in someone's yard and they made a claim against me. It seems like the insurance company is going to handle it but I wanted to know if it would raise my rates. The person I talked to said that she didn't know if it would. Thanks.

Re: Insurance Tip of the Day

I thought that if you told your insurer they would cover it.

Re: Insurance Tip of the Day

well mods cost more than stock replacement parts, so if they covered mods your insurance would be alot more expensive.
