We’ve all seen the Geico gecko and All State’s Dennis Haysbert on TV. They say we can save money on car insurance and maybe we can. It depends.
Prices are determined by factors such as your credit score, one of the top three factors in pricing, along with where you drive, how much you drive, your age and your gender. Your driving record is among the top ten factors calculated in the price but unless it’s terrible, it’s not as important as the others.

It pays to get five or six quotes. In some cases, you could save money buying over the Internet, but allow plenty of time to fill out a lengthy application with all sorts of questions. If you are an ultimate winner in the Web application process, you could save 15 percent over the price of buying from an agent, but not always.

Internet sellers include Geico Direct, Amica, Ameriprise, USAA and 21st Century.

In addition to your credit score, the price may also be influenced by your insurance score. Reed Elsevier sells the Choice Point Attract auto insurance score. It ranges from 200 to 997 and costs $12.95.

If you have been insured by a company for five years or more, you might get a better deal because of the loyalty discount. Having a home insured by the same company brings the multiline discount. Accident-free brings a nice discount as well.

If you have a teen driver, you will pay a high price, but could get discounts for driver training and good school grades.

Service is an important matter to consider. That is, if your agent is located a short distance away, you could get faster service for a car accident than you would from an Internet insurance provider who is a thousand miles away.
