Amelia wants you to know
I recently moved to a new state and suddenly found myself with a higher car insurance premium when my policy renewed. After reviewing each state's allowed rating factors and average rates, I realized my old carrier was simply not one of the cheapest options in my new area. Fortunately, comparing quotes allowed me to quickly find a policy with the same amount of coverage for a much lower premium. I was also able to qualify for a couple discounts I hadn't been eligible for with my previous carrier. If you've recently moved or experienced another type of big life change, now may be a good time to start reviewing auto insurance quotes to ensure you're still getting the best rate possible.

Understanding insurance options is about more than just saving money. It's about making your insurance work for you and your unique circumstances.
