How to save on car insurance in Nevada

Several variables go into determining rates that drivers have little control over, but there are often ways to save on premiums that go beyond age and location. Below are some of the strategies drivers in Nevada can use to try to lower their rates:

  • Bundle home or renters insurance with vehicle coverage: Buying your insurance policies with the same insurance company can commonly save you on both policies.
  • Focus on a clean driving record: Nevada allows you to complete traffic school to remove a moving violation once per year. Taking advantage could help keep your record clean and potentially save you from higher premiums.
  • Take a taxi: If you plan on a night out on the Las Vegas Strip, the cost of a taxi is far cheaper than a DUI, particularly when it comes to your insurance rates. Opting for a taxi or Uber instead of driving is an effective way to prevent a costly DUI from impacting your car insurance premium.
  • Shop around: To find the lowest Nevada auto insurance rates, get quotes from at least three or four companies to find the cheapest carrier. Comparing providers regularly can help too — you may find it worth switching carriers for cheaper car insurance as your circumstances change over time.
