In some ways, you probably do not want to have New Jersey car insurance. If you have just purchased your car, you probably do not like making the payments every month. This can put a lot of stress on a budget, but there is not really anything that can be done about it. Adding more payments for insurance certainly will not help your cause any, at least in a financial sense. However, there are a few reasons that you really do need to look into getting an insurance policy on your new car.

Get and clean up your credit report. A good credit report is one of the things that you can present to your insurance company and ask them to lower your premiums. It shows that you are financially responsible and that they can rely on you to take care of your assets.

Combine your home, auto, and/or renters insurance. Like owning multiple vehicles, having one company provide all your insurance needs will more than likely result in savings.

As with other insurance, car insurance comes at a price! If you have a sporty, expensive model in your driveway, you need to make sure that you will be properly covered in case of any incident. Just because you are a cautious, responsible driver on the road, does not mean that you can expect the same from your fellow road users! Some drivers are practicing their racing skills on our highways while others are using peak hour traffic to do their make up in the rearview mirrors. On top of that the roads are congested and often in a bad condition. Accidents are inevitable!

Property damage is not damage done to an automobile but rather "property" like a mailbox or a utility pole. So, why in the world would you need $100,000 dollars of coverage?

With ABS, cars have a computer monitoring every wheel. The computer adjusts the pressure of the brakes to stop the car in the shortest distance possible.

Consider dropping collision and comprehensive coverage if you're driving a car that's eight or more years old. If your car isn't worth more than the deductible, you're wasting your money with collision and comp premiums.

First of all, decide how much insurance you need. If you don't have a lot of assets to protect, or if you live in a low-accident area, then you might need less insurance than a driver who works in a busy city or who has a lot of money that could be taken in a lawsuit. While it might feel safer to play it safe, most insurance companies are depending on you being paranoid. If you play the odds yourself, you are going to have an easier time saving money.

Avoid having drinks in the car, unless they have a spill proof cap. There are many different water bottles out there, that have spill proof caps, and many child cups are spill proof as well. Having spill proof lids on all beverages will help keep any stains and messes out of the car. If you can avoid eating in the car, you should do this as well. If you do have small children, this may be unavoidable. Try to be smart about snacks, and choose foods, that have fewer crumbs. Try bringing along some carrot sticks, apple slices, or grapes; these are also very healthy snack alternatives to crackers.

Insure your car through the same company that insures your house or gives you life insurance. Multiple policy discounts are some of the most popular discounts available on the market. The more insurance you buy from a company, the less each layer of insurance is going to cost you.
