At Plymouth Rock, we want to make sure you get dependable coverage at a great rate. Saving money on car insurance shouldn\u2019t mean compromising on coverage. Here\u2019s how to lower car insurance in NJ while keeping effective coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate guide to understanding car insurance for everyday drivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multi-car savings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your household has multiple cars, it\u2019s a good idea to have them all insured with the same company. You get the convenience of managing insurance for all your vehicles in one place, and you\u2019ll often receive a discount as well. At Plymouth Rock, you\u2019ll get the best value when you have multiple cars listed on the same policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bundling insurance policies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you own a home or rent? Consider getting your homeowners or renters insurance from the same place you get your car insurance. Not only is it convenient to have all of your policies under one roof, but you\u2019ll save on each of them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Plymouth Rock, the bundling discounts don\u2019t stop at just home or renters. You can also save when you bundle other policies like motorcycle. The more you bundle, the more you save!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluate your deductible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at your deductible and re-evaluate how much you\u2019re comfortable paying in the event of an accident. The deductible is the amount you need to pay before your insurance will start paying for expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising your deductible will lower your policy\u2019s premium. However, this means you\u2019ll need to pay more out of pocket if you need to file a claim. If you have questions about deductibles, give us a call! Our friendly insurance experts are happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand your coverages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many car insurance providers offer low insurance premiums, but it often means that you are getting less coverage. Saving with less coverage may mean paying more if you ever need to file a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to understand what coverage limits<\/a> are right for you, and what those coverages mean. When comparing companies, make sure you\u2019re using the same coverage limits and deductibles. This way, you\u2019ll have a direct comparison between actual insurance products and a more accurate look at pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type of car<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you buy your next car, think about how much it costs to insure. The kind of car you drive makes a big difference in your rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, the color of your car doesn\u2019t matter for insurance purposes. What does matter, however, is the cost to repair the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cars with large production runs are typically cheaper to repair because of better parts availability, for example. These kinds of cars are, in general, cheaper to insure than low volume luxury or sports cars that may need specialized parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay in full<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rather than paying monthly, consider paying your policy in full if possible. This lets you avoid installment fees. Eligible policyholders can receive a discount if they choose to pay their Plymouth Rock policy in full each policy period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enroll in eDocuments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An easy way to save on Plymouth Rock insurance is to enroll in eDocuments. Plymouth Rock and other providers may offer a discount if you choose to receive your policy documents electronically.\u202fYou\u2019ll get your insurance documents sent directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better credit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having a stronger credit score may mean lower car insurance premiums. Your creditworthiness can be one of the factors an insurance company uses to evaluate your rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving your credit score can be as simple as paying your bills on time. Double check your credit report to make sure it\u2019s as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group discounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a member of an organization or an employee of a company partnered with Plymouth Rock, you may be eligible for a group discount. We have discounts for members<\/a> of a variety of groups and associations in New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure lower rates with a secure car<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The more safe and secure your car is, the more you can save on car insurance. Plymouth Rock offers discounts if your car has anti-theft measures<\/a> such as an alarm or safety features like anti-lock brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost every new car comes with an alarm standard from the factory, but older vehicles can be retrofitted with them as well. Other anti-theft measures like window etching and steering wheel locks are simple but effective ways of deterring theft. Anti-theft measures not only protect your car from being stolen, but they also help lower your car insurance premiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe driving<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to keep your insurance costs down is to drive safely. Accidents and moving violations are part of your driving record, indicating that you are riskier to insure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining a clean driving record helps prevent your rates from going up but also keeps any safe driver discounts like the ones Plymouth Rock offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complete a state-approved defensive driving course and you may be eligible for a discount. Some courses can even be completed online. Check with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission<\/a> to make sure the course you take is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventing accidents before they happen is the best way to keep you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save with YUBI\u00ae<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
