1. Know the Law
Having the knowledge of knowing the laws where you live is important and gives you a better chance of them working for you instead of against you. 

2. Rating System
People are evaluated for coverage based on a rating. Generally, insurance companies use predetermined factors to generate a rating, however; companies have their own standards to uphold against the rating system. Accident history, age, and even where you live are other factors an insurance company considers when giving you a quote for a policy. 

3. Get Discounts
You never know until you ask your agent about different discounts that are offered for things such as military service or an association with a financial institution. 

4. Do Your Research
Ensuing that you choose the right insurance company to help you through your auto endurance is essential. Before signing up for the cheapest, quickest, and easiest plan, make sure you have the best coverage that is right for you. 

5. Types of Coverage
There are different types of policies that may be a better fit for your vehicle. There may be a policy package that fits what you are looking for better, without you knowing it. 

6. No-fault States vs Tort States
It is important to check if the state you live in keeps “No-fault” or “Tort” laws for car insurance. Non-fault” means the insurance company sends a check for overall damages regardless of who is at fault. Tort on the other hand, offers three types of insurance related to bodily injury, vehicle damage, and uninsured motorists.

7. Finding Insurance
Finding an insurance company that is easily accessible in your area might be the best option for you. Usually, you can find these insurance agencies through word of mouth, the internet will also assist in helping you find the right company. 

8. Fact Checking
It is good practice to be familiar with your insurance agent and ask them the questions about being cited for a scandal. Making sure that you verify a company's legitimacy with the state is a strong precautionary measure.

9. Read the Fine Print
Making sure that you read the fine print of your policies from your insurance company to know all that you are paying for. 

10. Policy Anniversary 
If you committed to a policy for a year and it is time to renew, make sure you aren’t qualified for a better policy that might not have been available when you first received your policy. Making sure that you stay informed and being familiar with your insurance policy will make things a lot easier in the long run.

My mom decided to buy a car next month, and she's very excited about driving again, so my sister and I want to help her pay her insurance policy. It's good to know that we'd get a discount if we ask an agent about any available discounts, so I'll use your tips to find the right policy for my mom. Thank you for the information on how to find an insurance plan that matches your car and pocket.
