Car insurance quotes and the stuff nobody tells you
You may find a broad variation in the quotes you get for the same level of auto insurance (one researcher found an $800 difference between quotes), or you may discover that your state's standards are so firm that there is little difference between quotes. Get several quotes for your area. Also find out whether you can save money with a given agency by bundling your auto insurance with your homeowners' or rental insurance, or by insuring more than one car with the agency. When you discuss your policy with the insurance agent, make sure you are getting all the discounts you are entitled to. Being a safe driver, having a driving history of a certain length, and having safety features like automatic seatbelts and anti lock brakes can all net you discounts at many agencies.
