Reddit user “little_pete_wrigley” was paying $210 a month for his auto insurance policy through Liberty Mutual and wanted to see if he could do better and save some money.
His first stop online? Our very popular list of the best and worst auto insurers.
While perusing our guide, little_pete learned about two of Clark’s longtime favorite insurers — USAA and Amica Insurance.
Not everyone can join USAA. Membership is limited to military veterans as well as active duty military. Immediate family members are eligible as well.
Amica, on the other hand, is open to anyone who meets their qualifications — no military service necessary.
So little_pete focused on Amica and took a look at their website to learn more about them.
“They quoted me $125 online,” the Reddit user wrote on the popular discussion board.
That would have been a roughly 40% savings. But little_pete didn’t want to stop the savings there!
“I called them and got [the] same coverage for $118 a month plus renters insurance. [The] cost of [the] premium [was] actually less than the auto-bundle discount, so they basically pay me to take it.”
So little_pete saved $92 on his auto policy — with the same level of coverage — and got free renters insurance thrown in, to boot.
Just like that, little_pete put nearly $1,300 back in his life — with one phone call, after looking at money expert Clark Howard’s list of the best and worst auto insurers.
We’ll let the Reddit user have the last word…
“Cheers to saving money!”
If you want to be like little_pete and shop your auto insurance, it’s actually really easy.
Here are the steps to take.
