Car Insurance Tips
To help lower your Minnesota car insurance premiums, you may want to consider the following:
Minnesota car insurance premiums are determined by weighing a number of different factors and deciding how much of a risk each of those factors represents—including the age of drivers, driving record, etc. Some factors you have no control over. Others you have choices that can help you lower your Minnesota car insurance premium. Here are some suggestions.
  • Many experts recommend a deductible of between $500 to $1,000 to help lower your Minnesota car insurance premiums. The more you’re willing to pay out-of-pocket, the better your premium can be.
  • If the resale value of your car is less than $3,000, many experts suggest that you consider dropping collision and comprehensive coverage altogether. It is an expensive part of your Minnesota car insurance. However, if you do drop this coverage and your car is stolen or you crash it, you would have to pay for repairs or replacement yourself.
  • Be sure to ask about any available Minnesota car insurance discounts. How much and what things can earn you a discount will vary from company to company and even from state to state. It’s still always worth asking about.
    Every dollar helps.
