Unimaginable but true, the vast majority of consumers kept buying from the same company for a minimum of four years, and almost half have never compared rates to find lower-cost insurance. Lubbock insurance shoppers can save hundreds of dollars each year just by getting comparison quotes, but they don’t want to take the time to shop around.
It takes a few minutes, but the best way to get the cheapest car insurance rates is to annually compare prices from companies in Lubbock. Prices can be compared by following these steps.
First, take a little time to learn about policy coverages and the things you can change to prevent rate increases. Many rating criteria that drive up the price such as high-risk driving behaviors and a less-than-favorable credit score can be remedied by making lifestyle changes or driving safer.
Second, compare prices from independent agents, exclusive agents, and direct companies. Exclusive and direct companies can give quotes from a single company like GEICO or Farmers Insurance, while independent agents can give you price quotes from multiple insurance companies.
Third, compare the new rate quotes to your existing policy and see if you can save money. If you find a better price and buy the policy, make sure there is no lapse in coverage.
Fourth, give notification to your agent or company to cancel your current car insurance policy and submit the required down payment along with the signed application for the new policy. Immediately upon receiving it, store the proof of insurance paperwork along with your vehicle registration.
The most important part of shopping around is to use the same deductibles and limits on each quote request and to quote with all possible companies. Doing this guarantees the most accurate price comparison and a thorough selection of prices.

The example below illustrates the comparison of Porsche Cayman car insurance costs with and without physical damage coverage, medical payments, and uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage. The data assumes no claims or violations, $500 deductibles, drivers are single, and no discounts are applied.
When to stop buying physical damage coverage
There is no definitive guideline of when to eliminate full coverage on your policy, but there is a broad guideline. If the annual cost of coverage is more than 10% of the vehicle’s replacement cost less your deductible, then it might be time to consider dropping full coverage.
For example, let’s pretend your Porsche Cayman replacement value is $6,000 and you have $1,000 deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, you would only receive $5,000 after paying the physical damage deductible. If it’s costing you more than $500 a year to have full coverage, then it’s probably a good time to buy liability coverage only.
There are a few situations where eliminating full coverage is not a good idea. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to carry full coverage in order to keep the loan. Also, if your emergency fund is not enough to purchase a different vehicle in the event your current vehicle is totaled, you should not buy liability only.
These discounts can slash Porsche Cayman insurance rates
Some insurers don’t list every available discount in an easy-to-find place, so below is a list a few of the more well known and also the more inconspicuous credits that may apply to you.
- Early Payment Discounts – By making one initial payment rather than paying in monthly installments you may reduce your total bill.
- Discounts for Seat Belt Usage – Buckling up and requiring all passengers to use their safety belts can save 10% or more off the personal injury premium cost.
- Paperless Signup – Some of the larger companies provide a small discount just for signing your application digitally online.
- Multiple Cars – Buying a policy with several vehicles on one policy can get a discount on all vehicles.
- Club Memberships – Participating in specific professional or occupational memberships or organizations could trigger savings on auto insurance.
Consumers should know that most credits do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most cut individual premiums such as liability and collision coverage. Despite the appearance that adding up those discounts means a free policy, auto insurance companies aren’t that generous. But any discount will help lower the cost of your policy.
