The following are some key examples of how to reduce your premiums:<\/p><p><strong>Higher Deductible:<\/strong> One of the best ways to save money on car insurance is to select a higher deductible. The deductible is the portion of the claim that you agree to pay. In most cases, the higher the deductible the lower the premium.<\/p><p><strong>Minimize Claims:<\/strong> Another way to save is not to make a lot of small claims. The more claims you put through, the more you will be seen as a risk to insure.<\/p><p><strong>Discounts:<\/strong> Some insurance companies will offer discounts for placing more than one line of business with their organization. Others will give discounts if you have installed protection devices into your auto. There are also group discounts or rates available from some companies to members of an eligible organized group.<\/p><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"bde-faq__item\">\n      <h3 class=\"bde-faq__title-tag\">\n       <button id=\"bde-faq-169-button-6\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"bde-faq-169-6\" class=\"bde-faq__question js-faq-item\">\n          <span class=\"bde-faq__title\">What is a deductible?<\/span>\n                           <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bde-faq__icon bde-faq__icon--inactive\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"iconify iconify--ph\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224 128a8 8 0 0 1-8 8h-80v80a8 8 0 0 1-16 0v-80H40a8 8 0 0 1 0-16h80V40a8 8 0 0 1 16 0v80h80a8 8 0 0 1 8 8\"\/><\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n         \t  <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bde-faq__icon bde-faq__icon--active\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"iconify iconify--ph\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224 128a8 8 0 0 1-8 8H40a8 8 0 0 1 0-16h176a8 8 0 0 1 8 8\"\/><\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n                  <\/button>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"bde-faq-169-button-6\" id=\"bde-faq-169-6\" class=\"bde-faq__answer\">\n        <div class=\"bde-faq__answer-content\">\n            <div class=\"breakdance-rich-text-styles\"><p>Your car insurance deductible is the amount you agreed to pay in the event of a loss when you make a claim.
