Reader’s Question:

I recently got a job and manage to buy a car which its sole purpose is for home to office transportation only. Can you help me obtain low cost car insurance for this short distance vehicle?

We know for a fact that there are still drivers who earn little income and don’t want to spend so much on car insurance. The thing is, there are many factors that are involved before car insurance company finalizes your car insurance cost. Your gender, age, the make and model of your vehicle and even the place where you live will be thoroughly assessed before car insurance company determines how much you’ll be paying.

The easiest way to achieve low cost car insurance in Arizona is to do the following:

1. Learn defensive driving skills at a driving school which is certified by your car insurance company.
2. Installing anti-theft device such as car alarms.
3. If you own more than one vehicle, insure them both in one insurance company and you can qualify for a multi-car policy discount.
4. Maintain a good credit history. Having a good credit history places you in a good position to arrange a deal or to bargain for a low cost car insurance rate in Arizona.

If you already considered doing the following and you already obtained low cost car insurance in Arizona, you can still make your annual insurance rate to drop every year. Never get involved on any traffic accidents, avoid getting parking tickets and always obey traffic rules. Maintaining a good driving record will reduce your annual premiums every year.

Reader’s Question:

I am planning a cross-country trip with my friends, and we’re getting a rental car here in Arizona. Do we need to get car insurance for that?

Good day to you, Mimi. Before plunging into car insurance premiums you actually do not need, I think it is best that you first review fully what you need and what you do not. We often make mistakes by getting additional protection that we think we need but do not know that we already have, or sometimes we assume we already have but in reality we do not. Not mentioning the fact that these additional car rental insurance premiums cost a lot, adding roughly $30 to $50 a day on your trip expenses.

Even if one is only renting cars, like what you are planning to do with your friends, the car insurance premium of the driver might already have coverage for that. Also, you will most likely use your credit card to pay for the car rental, and these credit cards, as we all know, have supplementary insurance that go with them. So, better check with your car insurance provider in Arizona and your credit card company first before embarking on this fun-filled trip with your friends because you probably already have the coverage that you are looking for. However, you may want to get a loss damage waiver. It switches liability over from the driver of the rented car to the rental car company. Have a fun and safe trip.
