Since every state requires a proof of financial responsibility to drive a car, and most states require car liability insurance, it should not surprise you that car insurance is the most searched on type of insurance.

Before you go insurance shopping, be aware that companies will look at your driving history, where you live, your age, marital status, and even your credit report. Things like a poor driving record and very young or inexperienced drivers can really raise rates too. Most people probably know that. However, many people aren’t aware that a low credit score or recent bankruptcy can raise their insurance rates, or even impact their ability to obtain insurance from a major insurance company.

You may be able to take a defensive driving course to help yourself in the short term. In the long term, it’s obvious that keeping your record clean from tickets and accidents will do a lot of good.

The thing is, different insurance companies underwrite differently, and if you are a squeeky clean driver or have a challenged record, you will want to shop around. Compare Insurance Online to make the process easier. You can fill out a form one time, and then be able to find the local plans in your area - plus, look at different policies - this brings me to the next point.

You may see an adv. on tv with some caveman or famous actor telling you that one insurance company or another has the best claim service and cheapest rates. Be careful though. You may get a cheaper rate at the expense of a policy benefit. For instance, you may not really want to save $15 a month by eliminating your comprehensive coverage. If you did have an accident, could you afford to fix your car? It’s not all about what your car is worth - but what it’s worth to you!

Also, be aware of your car use. If you use your car for business, you may want to consider commercial car insurance.
