Finding low-cost Dover car insurance on the web can seem to be rather challenging for beginners to price shopping online. With so many choices of online companies available, how can anyone have a chance to compare them all to find the lowest price available?
Discounts are great for lower rates
Car insurance companies don’t always list every available discount very well, so we break down both well-publicized as well as the least known ways to save on car insurance. If you don’t get every credit you qualify for, you are throwing money away.
- Theft Prevention Discount – Vehicles with anti-theft systems are stolen less frequently and earn discounts up to 10%.
- Service Members Pay Less – Having a deployed family member can result in better rates.
- Pay Upfront and Save – By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you could save 5% or more.
- Passive Restraints – Vehicles equipped with air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of 20% or more.
- Accident Forgiveness – A few companies allow you one accident before your rates go up if your claims history is clear for a particular time prior to the accident.
- Low Mileage Discounts – Low mileage vehicles could qualify for lower rates on the low mileage vehicles.
- Resident Student – Kids in college who live away from home and do not have access to a covered vehicle may qualify for this discount.
Drivers should understand that many deductions do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only cut the cost of specific coverages such as comprehensive or collision. So when it seems like you could get a free car insurance policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Comprehensive Dover Car Insurance Comparison Quotes
Most companies allow you to get price estimates on their websites. The process is fairly simple as you just enter as detailed in the form. When complete, the company’s rating system automatically retrieves your driving and credit reports and quotes a price determined by many factors.
Quoting online streamlines rate comparisons, but the time it takes to visit a lot of sites and fill out multiple forms is not the best way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately, it is important to perform this step in order to get a better rate.

Do I need special coverages?
When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s situation is unique.
For example, these questions could help you determine if your insurance needs would benefit from professional advice.
- When would I need rental car insurance?
- I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
- How much liability coverage do I need in Delaware?
- Do I have coverage for damage caused while driving under the influence?
- When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
- Is my custom paint covered by insurance?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It’s fast, free and can help protect your family.
More quotes mean more savings
Insureds change insurance companies for any number of reasons including unfair underwriting practices, delays in paying claims, poor customer service or even extreme rates for teen drivers. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a great new company is easier than you think.
Cheap car insurance can be found online in addition to many Dover insurance agents, and you should be comparing both to get a complete price analysis. Some companies do not provide the ability to get a quote online and these small, regional companies work with independent agents.
When shopping online for car insurance, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, consumers will sacrifice collision coverage and learned later they didn’t have enough coverage. The proper strategy is to buy the best coverage you can find at an affordable rate.
