Buying car insurance in Cumming, GA

Drivers in Georgia are required to carry a minimum of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily liability coverage and $25,000 in property damage liability coverage. 

Georgia is an at fault state. That means that the insurance company of the driver responsible for an accident will pay for the other party’s repair costs and medical bills. If you happen to be involved in an accident but not the party at fault, then your damage or injuries will be covered by the other driver’s insurance company.

How to get cheap car insurance in Cumming, GA

Initial car insurance quotes can seem expensive. Fortunately, there are some go-to methods for lowering your rates.

  • Find discounts: Insurance companies offer discounts or qualifying customers, for things like safe driving, paying your bill in-full for the year, or going paperless

  • Bundle policies: Get your home and auto insurance from the same insurance company to save on both

  • Improve your credit score: Take steps to improve low credit scores, like paying down debt and making all payments on time

  • Raise your deductible. Raising your insurance deductible can significantly lower your rates, but remember that you might have to actually pay that amount someday

  • Shop around: Reevaluate your coverage every year or so to see if you could be getting the same coverage at a lower rate from another company
