FAQ Lake City Auto Insurance
Why are rates different for different cars, even if the cars cost the same?
Vehicles are grouped into categories according to the statistics of those types of cars being damaged, vandalized or stolen. Insurers generally consider the size and type of vehicle, as well as the value and the cost of repairs (which can vary greatly, even on vehicles that cost roughly the same).
Safety is key when buying an automobile! Some cars are considered safer than others because of their performance record in safety tests and real accidents. It helps to research insurance coverage before you buy your car.
How can I Lower my Rates?
One way to lower auto insurance rates is by requesting higher deductibles (the amount of money you pay before you make a claim). Increasing your deductibles on collision and comprehensive coverage will bring your rates down. Moreover, you may elect to not carry collision and comprehensive coverage if you drive an older car.

Defensive Driving, accident free, driver’s education courses and good student discounts for teenagers. Buying homeowners and auto policies from the same company…Nationwide for example.
