Simple Tips to Help Keep Your Auto Insurance Costs Down

It’s no secret—auto insurance rates have been climbing over the past couple of years, and this year is no exception. With increases across the country, many folks here in Pittsfield and the surrounding towns are feeling the pinch. The good news? There are still some tried-and-true ways to help keep your premiums manageable. At Pittsfield Insurance, we’re proud to be your local agency, and we’re here to help neighbors like you save where you can.
Here are a few practical tips to consider when buying auto insurance:
We Shop Around
We work with multiple carriers to compare rates and find coverage that makes sense for your needs and your budget.
Bundle Your Policies
If you’ve got your home, renters, or farm insurance with us, bundling your auto policy could earn you a discount. It’s a simple way to put more savings back in your pocket.
Keep a Clean Driving Record
Safe driving really pays off. Tickets and accidents can drive up your premiums quickly, so staying alert on the road not only keeps you and your loved ones safe—it also helps you save.
Think About Your Deductible
Choosing a higher deductible can often lower your monthly payment. We’ll walk you through the options so you’re comfortable with the balance between savings and what you’d pay out of pocket if you ever needed to file a claim.
Pick the Right Vehicle
Some cars are less expensive to insure than others. If you’re thinking about buying something new, give us a call first—we’ll help you understand how your choice could impact your insurance costs.
Review Your Coverage
Life changes—whether it’s a new driver in the household, a car that’s paid off, or fewer miles driven each year. It’s always a good idea to sit down with us and review your coverage to make sure it still fits your needs.
