Car insurance is mandatory for anyone who wants to legally drive on our roads and highways. Because car insurance is compulsory, most of us would love to find the cheapest car insurance policy possible without sacrificing essential coverage. Fortunately, with so many insurance providers competing for our business, there are ways that we can locate and purchase affordable car insurance. Below are 3 key ways to save on your car insurance:

When it comes to locating cheap auto insurance, consumers now have access to online search tools located on insurance sites that allow them to compare a number of car insurance policies from various insurance providers. It is an easy and fast way to receive several cheap insurance quotes. Consumers can then review each quote and the policy coverage and pick the best policy that fits their budget and coverage needs. You can save hundreds of dollars using this free search tool.

2. Cost-Cutting Measures: There are a number of things you can due to lower your insurance costs. For instance, if you pay a higher a deductible, you will pay a lower monthly premium. Sometimes you can get a discount if you pay the premium for the full year instead of monthly. You can also lower your costs by getting rid of unnecessary coverage such as collision coverage if you have a low valued car. As well, combining you car insurance policy with another policy such as your homeowners insurance policy will result in a discount.

3. Take Advantage of Discount Offers: Insurance providers will offer a number of discounts to secure your business. You can save on your car insurance by taking advantage of as many discount incentives as possible.

Wow, it really has been a long time since my last post on themoneygardener.  I've been extremely busy looking after our two kids and getting our business off the ground.  The market has been rolling right along pleasantly actually.  Seems like unemployment and  housing is taking very long to come back in the US, but I believe that it will be back and that's what the  market is anticipating.  I haven't made any trades lately, just collecting dividends and paying less attention to daily fluctuations.
