7 Ways to Save on Car Insurance in Massachusetts

Massachusetts drivers pay some of the highest auto insurance premiums in the country. But you don't have to accept your current rate as final. Here are seven proven strategies to lower your premium without sacrificing the coverage you need.

1. Bundle Your Home and Auto Policies

One of the fastest ways to save is to combine your home (or renters) and auto insurance with the same carrier. Most carriers offer multi-policy discounts of 10–25%. We compare bundled rates across multiple carriers to find you the best deal.

2. Shop Multiple Carriers Every Year

Insurance rates change constantly. The cheapest carrier last year may not be the cheapest this year. As an independent agency, we shop Progressive, Travelers, National General, Bristol West, Preferred Mutual, and more — so you always get the best rate available.

3. Increase Your Deductibles

Raising your collision and comprehensive deductibles from $500 to $1,000 can reduce your premium significantly. Just make sure you can afford the higher deductible if you need to file a claim.

4. Ask About All Available Discounts

Many drivers miss discounts they qualify for: good driver, good student, low mileage, anti-theft devices, defensive driving course, pay-in-full, paperless billing, and more. We make sure every applicable discount is applied to your policy.

5. Maintain a Clean Driving Record

Accidents and violations can increase your premium for 3–6 years. Safe driving is the single best long-term strategy for keeping your rates low. Some carriers also offer accident forgiveness programs.

6. Review Your Coverage Annually

As your car ages, you may be able to reduce or drop collision and comprehensive coverage. If your car is worth less than 10x your annual premium for those coverages, it may not be worth keeping them.

7. Work With an Independent Agent

Captive agents can only offer one carrier's rates. Independent agents like Amara Insurance Group shop the entire market for you. We find the best coverage at the lowest cost — and we do the comparison work so you don't have to.
