The best ways to save money these days can quite obvious.
For instance you can use coupons when you go grocery shopping, rent movies instead of going to the theater, and many other changes can be made to save a buck here and there.
The list goes on and on when it comes to the things we know we could do to save money.
One way to save money that seems to go overlooked in our busy lives is trying to lower the price of the things that we know we have to pay every year.
The biggest bill we pay each year is most likely for car insurance.
Some people dread that renewal date year after year because the bill just doesn't seem to get smaller or in same cases it even gets bigger.
The first step you should take in trying to save money on car insurance is to evaluate your current policy.
Look at the coverages you have on your declarations page and take note of the premiums you're being charged for each coverage.
Really try to get a better understanding of the coverages that you're paying for.
This is important because you might not even have the coverage that you need or in some cases it might be the opposite and you're paying for coverage you don't need.
For example your insurance company might be charging you for a roadside assistance package that you don't use because you might be signed up with a different roadside program through an auto club.
By evaluating your current car insurance policy you can make a more informed decision when it comes time to switching to another company to save money.
Once you have a good idea of what coverages that you currently have and how much you are paying.
You can now start comparing quotes from different car insurance companies.
Try to get as many quotes as you possibly can to ensure that you get the coverage you want for the lowest possible price.
It's a good idea to get quotes for the same coverages as even minor changes in coverage can have a big effect on the price.
Try to avoid going through the local classified paper and calling various companies.
Many times when doing this you will encounter the bait and switch tactic which for some reason lots of companies have adopted as standard procedure.
This can be frustrating and discouraging for someone trying to get a better deal on car insurance.

numbers of any vehicles on the policy.
