Credit History & Auto Insurance: How One Can Save You Big Bucks On The Other
By Andrew Daigle
Your credit history can influence your ability to get a loan or a credit card, but did you also know that it can play a large role in the cost of your car insurance? It can. In fact, poor credit can result in higher auto insurance rates regardless of your past driving history. When you apply for coverage from an auto insurance company, you will likely be required to sign a release giving the company permission to access your credit file. If you want the best auto insurance rate possible, it's time to start cleaning up that credit report.

Your first step to cheap auto insurance is to check your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies, including TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Closely review all information contained in each report, including both payment history and contact information. If there are any inaccuracies, file a dispute with the reporting agency immediately and await correction. In most cases, this takes less than two weeks.

for auto insurance rates. When you apply for this type of coverage, you are asking the auto insurance company to put their trust in both you and your driving ability. By applying for coverage, you are agreeing to pay a premium and, in the event of an accident, a deductible. Your past credit history will give the auto insurance company an idea as to how you will handle your car insurance payments.

It's important to note that even with a few blemishes in your credit history, it is still possible to compare auto insurance rates and even find discount auto insurance if you know where to shop. Many auto insurance companies realize that past credit history is, well, in the past. If you have a less than perfect financial history, don't hesitate to explain your situation to the auto insurance company and let them go to work to find you the best auto insurance rate available.

If you have a credit report that needs improving, you can begin to see positive results in as little as three months. Avoid carrying a credit card balance that exceeds 50% of your total available credit, always pay your bills on time and pay more than the minimum payment if/when possible. After several months of regular payments, your credit report and score will begin to improve. What does this mean for your auto insurance rates? As your credit score goes up, your auto insurance rates may go down. One of the best ways to find the best provider for your needs is through obtaining several auto insurance quotes, compare rates and choosing the best one that offers a customizable plan.
