Car Insurance Myths

MYTH: Car insurance companies are all the same.
Car insurance companies can vary dramatically, including their service, response, and even rates. Some offer discounts for monitored driving. It can pay to look around.
MYTH: You should stay with the same car insurance company year after year.
It is far better to compare rates annually. Car insurance companies know drivers don’t like to search for different insurance coverage. This can lead to rates that creep up year after year.
MYTH: Changing car insurance companies is a hassle.

MYTH:Â State Minimums are adequate.
