Find Lower Insurance Prices

As soons as you have your comparison quotes in front of you from the different companies, take a look to make sure the coverages on the quotes are the same. You want to make sure you're comparing apples-to-apples coverages in order to have a fair analysis of the rates.

Once you have determined that all quotes are based on similar coverage levels, take a look at the final quoted premium. If some quotes are outrageously high or low, you may want to double check the quoted coverages again just to make sure there wasn't a mistake.

Factors that determine your Bakersfield car insurance quotes include your credit history (that's a big one), how good of a driver you are, how old the drivers on your policy are, and whether or not you've carried continuous insurance prior. If you haven't, that's known as a lapse in coverage and is not a good thing.

Slash your Bakersfield Auto Insurance Prices

In determining your final insurance premium, California car insurance companies take a number of factors into consideration. There are some things under your control such as the following.

Be a Safe Driver - Bakersfield drivers who obey the law pay much less than poor drivers.
Good Credit Pays Less - If you have a good credit score, you're insurance rates are going to be a lot lower than drivers with bad credit.
Reconsider Small Claims - If you have a claim that's not very much in excess of your deductible, just pay the claim yourself. Claim-free drivers pay lower rates.
Combine and Save - Combining your car insurance and your home insurance with the same company is a great way to save money on both.
