Car Insurance Savings Traps

No matter what your family's financial situation is, chances are you want to save money by cutting costs wherever you can. Many people think that cutting their car insurance premiums is a great way to reduce expenses. The false sense of security these consumers feel may result from their ability to avoid accidents over the past few years. Unfortunately, there is no formula that guarantees you can continually avoid accidents, which is why you should be careful not to fall into these car insurance savings traps.

• Setting your deductibles too high: High deductibles can help make car insurance premiums more affordable, but to what end? It only takes one or two car accidents with $1,000 deductibles to seriously hurt your family's attempts to save money. Consider whether or not those super high deductibles are worth it before you commit.
• Excluding uninsured motorist coverages: At-fault uninsured motorists may have no assets with which to pay off your car accident costs. If you do not have uninsured motorist coverage in your policy, chances are the premium savings you have been enjoying are not enough to offset the expenses you now face in paying for your car repairs out of your personal pocket.
