1) If you think about your car insurance premium before buying a car you'll save a lot of money. It's no secret that certain cars are very expensive to insure. But at the same time, you can get a comparable car that will cost you far less if you ask the right person.

2) Thinking through what you get as insurance coverage will also lower your insurance rates a great deal. Depending on how much you bought your car, certain policies or coverages will certainly be worthless. For example, if you bought your car for $15,000, is having a $25,000 collision policy going to be worthwhile? Moreover, since you know that the value will depreciate over time (And this is without subtracting the deductible you'd pay if you make a claim) does it make sense spending so much in premium that won't benefit you in any event?.

These two examples do not suggest that you should not get expensive cars or have extensive coverage. They only underline how much you can save yourself by simply making use of your good sense of judgment.

What makes sense in one situation will be totally unwise in another. That is why you are the only one who is most equipped to make decisions as to what you think you need and what you don't.

Back to making huge savings, I'll round off with something else: Even if you choose options that will mean you spend more, you can still make savings if you understand the fundamentals of realizing huge savings in car insurance.
