Are Most Drivers Overpaying for Car Insurance?

CLEVELAND, May 24 /PRNewswire/ --Insurance.com, the premier destination for shopping and comparing auto insurance quotes, reminds drivers if they haven't compared car insurance quotes in more than a year, they could be losing money – a lot of money!

"Car insurance rates are always changing, whether from market conditions or because of changes in a driver's personal life," says Rob Klapper, insurance.com CEO.  "Buying a new home, getting married, even growing a year older – these are all things that signal a need to shop and compare quotes to see if you're entitled to a lower rate."

Insurance.com recommends drivers review their current policy to:

• Make sure they're getting all the discounts they're entitled to, from good grades to paying online,
• Adjust their coverage based on the value of their vehicle,
• Set a higher deductible, if they can afford it; and,
• Watch their credit, as that can affect premium price as well.
