If your financial situation has been affected by the pandemic, you’re probably on the lookout for a quick way to trim down your monthly expenses.
You could always try one of the obvious strategies — switching to generic brands, making your meals at home, or canceling subscription services you don’t use.
But when was the last time you shopped for a better rate on your car insurance?
According to data from Forbes, the national average cost for car insurance in 2023 is $2,118 per year, or $176.5 per month.
But, depending on which state you live in, your driving history and the make and model of your car, there are some insurers that can offer you as little as $22 a month for insurance.
Thanks to Pretected, comparing multiple insurance companies is easier than ever.
How Pretected helps you save
When you sign up for Pretected, they’ll ask you some quick questions that help determine your insurance. Things like your age, your home state, the type of vehicle you drive and your driving record.
Based on your answers, they’ll sort through many insurance providers to find you the lowest prices available in your area.
Pretected will also find any discounts you may be eligible for. For example, if your car has airbags or daytime running lights, you might be able to get a cheaper rate.
Even something as simple as wearing your seatbelt could lower your premium.
