Coverage
-
Before you begin to shop for car insurance, it's imperative that you know what coverage you're looking for. Unless you have a vehicle that's less than five years old or so, or unless you are still paying for the car, you probably do not want comprehensive coverage. Liability coverage is the least expensive option.
Whether you decide on liability or comprehensive coverage, you'll need to know how much liability insurance you plan to purchase. If you live in a state that has a high number of personal injury lawsuits or uninsured/underinsured drivers, you'll want more coverage. It may drive the cost up slightly, but will be less expensive than paying legal fees in case of an accident.
Discounts
-
Know what discounts you may qualify for before you contact agents. If you plan to insure more than one car, or buy homeowner's or life insurance as well, you may qualify for a multi-policy discount. If your car has a theft-deterrent system, or is garaged, discounts may apply. AAA, AARP, and other memberships may also entitle you to lower rates.

Shop Around
-
When you're ready to buy, shop around. Compare rates with at least three insurers to make sure you're getting the best deal. And don't be afraid to negotiate.
