Double Check What You’re Paying

Not only is car insurance one of the top-5 monthly expenses for most people, it’s also one of the fastest growing costs in the entire US economy. Since 2021, car insurance costs have increased nearly 40%.

And that’s just in recent years. Looking further back, car insurance costs since 2015 have nearly doubled, with the average premium up 80% in the last 10 years. So when was the last time you changed insurers or shopped your current rate with your car insurance companies?

The Good News

Fortunately, rising costs are addressable with a little shopping around, and car insurance rate comparison is easier that ever, as more and more insurers make personal rate information available online. Comparing rates is simple and can take as few as a couple of clicks. Whether you want to switch insurers or just need a quote from somewhere else to talk to your insurer about a lower rate, taking advantage of new online comparison tools is a must to combat the rising price of car insurance.
