Shockingly, most consumers kept their coverage with the same insurance company for a minimum of four years, and approximately 38% of consumers have never compared insurance rates at all. Many drivers in Columbus could save an average of approximately 55% each year by just comparing quotes, but they just don't want to shop their coverage around.

The most effective way to find the cheapest price for auto insurance rates in Columbus is to compare prices regularly from companies that sell auto insurance in Ohio.

• First, get an understanding of what coverages are included in your policy and the modifications you can make to drop your rates. Many factors that result in higher rates such as traffic violations, accidents, and poor credit history can be amended by making minor changes to your lifestyle.
• Second, obtain price quotes from exclusive agents, independent agents, and direct providers. Direct and exclusive agents can only give rate quotes from a single company like GEICO or Allstate, while agents who are independent can provide prices for a wide range of companies.
• Third, compare the quotes to your existing policy to see if switching to a new carrier will save money. If you find a lower rate quote and make a switch, verify that coverage does not lapse between policies.
• Fourth, notify your company or agent of your decision to cancel the current policy. Submit payment and a signed application to your new agent or company. As soon as coverage is bound, place your new certificate verifying coverage in a readily accessible location in your vehicle.

The critical component of shopping around is to make sure you're comparing the same coverage limits and deductibles on every price quote and and to get rates from as many companies as possible. This helps ensure a level playing field and a complete price analysis.
