Premiums can never be too cheap. Here are some ways to lower your car insurance bill, and keep it down.
Liability coverage protects you if you bang up someone else or their property.
When it's unclear who's to blame, no-fault coverage can eliminate delays and legal costs.
In many cases, collision coverage is optional, but there are many good reasons to include it in your policy.

Protect Yourself from Uninsured Drivers
Cover yourself and your passengers in case other drivers disobey state insurance laws.
Don't forget about theft, fire and forces of nature.
