This still means that owning a car doesn’t cost as much now as it has in the past (insurance rates averaged $1,950 in September 2008). Coupled with the deals on new cars from pretty much every automaker, low insurance rates only add to the reasons why this is a unique and tempting time to buy a new vehicle.
Insurance.com recommends other ways to save on your auto insurance, such as buying extra safety features like extra airbags and stability control. Buying a hybrid can get you a 10% discount with some companies. Not surprisingly, it also recommends that you always compare rates online before purchasing your insurance.
