Reader’s Question:

I have been driving my own car for twenty five years, but until now it is still a little bit hazy to me that driving a cheaper car means lower car insurance. Is there a friendly car here in Illinois?

Weighing the cost of your car insurance is just as essential as buying a car here in Illinois. They say that it is not true that when you buy a luxurious car doesn’t affect how much your car insurance will increase. Myth and hearsays are definitely something that you have to detach from reality.

If you have bought a sports car here in Illinois, you have just bought something that thieves will be attracted to not because a sports car has more driving accidents history. You might as well choose a car that has a lower car accident rates. Something that is low rate to insure is the best car you should buy. Insuring something like a high performance will cost you more. Every car that is “thief-attracting” vehicle can make your car insurance go high. Examples of car that can make your car insurance high are Luxury vehicles, technologically advanced vehicles, and large SUV’s. if you are taking to consideration cars with lower insurance rates before you buy one, here are some friendly cars that I can suggest, just like vans and station wagons which are medium in size; and a four-door cars which actually has lower thief rate than a two-door car. But the most important thing to remember is that it doesn’t matter how much your car is as long as you are a careful driver which this will make your car insurance low.

Reader’s Question:

I plan to buy a used car for my son who is bound for college soon. What are the steps that we would have to take to get cheaper premiums for his car insurance here in Illinois?

There are certain things that your son would have to do to lessen his car insurance rates in Waukegan, Illinois. The first step to take is to buy an older car model because insurance premiums are less expensive for older vehicles. He would also have to avoid modifying his vehicle because doing such may cause him to pay higher premiums. Also, since the car that you’ll purchase is a used one, it may be a less valuable car so he may opt not to get collision coverage. In addition, if he gets higher deductibles, that could help lessen his car insurance rate by as much as 30%.

You may also advise him to attend defensive-driving classes because auto insurance providers usually offer motorists a discount for completing a defensive-driving course. Another way of getting a discount is to drive less than the given average number of miles every year. So if he would be close to his school, he may be entitled for this kind of discount. Best of all, he would have to look around and do some research to get the best car insurance for his needs as premiums really differ from every insurance provider.
