Balance Coverage With Cost
If you need to save money but have full-coverage car insurance, you should aim to have a middle-of-the-road deductible ($1,000) for your comprehensive and collision coverages. Doing so keeps your premiums lower and ensures you don’t have to pay as much out of pocket when you need to pay your portion of the claim.
If you have an older vehicle, you can save money by foregoing full coverage and having liability coverage only. Because it won’t cost you as much money out of pocket to fix or replace that older car, you can take the insurance savings and use them when you must.
Keep in mind that reducing coverage still means your injuries and your vehicle won’t be covered after a car accident, however — so saving for these circumstances regardless of your car’s age is crucial if you opt for the minimum amount of coverage.
Many providers automatically apply discounts for safe driving, bundling and having vehicles with anti-theft devices. Still, by reaching out to the provider ahead of time, you can ask for discounts that might not automatically apply, such as being a part of a professional organization, completing a safe driving course and more.
How Long Does Progressive Give You To Pay Your Bill?
Depending on your state’s laws, you’ll have from 10 to 20 days after a premium is due to make your payment. If you know you’re going to pay late, contact Progressive to see if you can set up a payment plan and to see how long you have to make your payment.
If you don’t set up a payment plan and you miss the final payment date, your insurance coverage will lapse. If you drive without insurance, you’ll violate state laws and could face steep fines.
