How To Save $500 On Your Automobile Insurance!!!

I know this is a bit out of the ordinary, but I’m here to help you make money as well as save money.
So today’s post is how we saved over $500 on our annual auto insurance policy.
First, we changed our vehicle rating from pleasure to work. Insurance companies consider pleasure vehicles to be more apt to be involved in an accident than a work vehicle that’s parked all day.
This alone saved $100 per year off our policy.
Strange, I thought a pleasure vehicle like my Porsche would cost less due to sitting in the garage all week. I only drive that car on the weekends or when I go out to dinner sometimes. I actually have to keep the battery on a charger because I seldom drive the car and I never when it’s wet or raining outside.
Next, we reduced our bodily / collision / property damage / uninsured motorist coverages from $100k / $300k down to $15k / 30k and increased our deductible from $500 to $1,000.
Most insurance agents will over sell you on your policy straight out the gate. Keep in mind, the other motorist is supposed to have the minimum as well and you still will retain full coverage with comprehensive and collision.
Now this may be slightly different for you, as we have three cars. But two of the vehicles are a BMW and a Porsche… with the other being a four wheel drive Montero, so having a pair of standard Japanese or American cars could save you more.
Our policy went from $1,832.00 per year down to $1,314.00.
That’s a savings of $518 per year which is $43.17 per month.
More than enough to pay for gas for the month if you work from home like I do.
Again, it all goes back to having a home based business. Not only do you make more money, but your tax benefits and savings on insurance far outweigh working a 9-5 job for someone else.
I can’t imagine how much I save on gas by itself. That has to be at least $100 per month alone.
You have to weigh the risks and whether or not your vehicles are privately owned or you have sold them to your company. No one wants to get in an accident and lose everything to a lwasuit, so consider your options. Having your cars owned by your LLC or S Corp makes not only good money sense, but also a good safety net from some dingdong that fakes a neck injury from a two mile an hour fender kiss at the supermarket.
So if your budget is tight right now and you’re looking to save some money, look to modifying your insurance first. You’ll be amazed at how much money you’re paying each and every month for services you may not be using.
