I recently moved to a new state and suddenly found myself with a higher car insurance premium when my policy renewed. After reviewing each state's allowed rating factors and average rates, I realized my old carrier was simply not one of the cheapest options in my new area. Fortunately, comparing quotes allowed me to quickly find a policy with the same amount of coverage for a much lower premium. I was also able to qualify for a couple discounts I hadn't been eligible for with my previous carrier. If you've recently moved or experienced another type of big life change, now may be a good time to start reviewing auto insurance quotes to ensure you're still getting the best rate possible.
