Don't Let a Neglected Auto Insurance Policy Make Aggravating Holiday Driving Even Worse

Insurance.com RateWatch finds average car insurance rates at $1,804

CLEVELAND, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers are already busy planning trips for Thanksgiving, one of the busiest times of year for travel in the United States. It will be bumper-to-bumper traffic soon, so Insurance.com urges consumers to double check their auto insurance policies before heading out this season to make sure they are adequately prepared for any unexpected mishaps.

"With more drivers spending more time on the road this time of year, the potential for accidents is greater," says Sam Belden, vice president at Insurance.com. "Many drivers are traveling long distances, renting unfamiliar cars and carpooling with friends and family, so it's important for drivers to take the proper safety precautions and also make sure they have the right auto insurance coverage for any incidents that could occur."

Drivers that are not insured for multiple drivers or damage to rental cars may want to consider shopping for a new policy. Car insurance rates have come down significantly since last fall, so those shopping for a new policy could add additional coverage and still save hundreds of dollars a year. According to Insurance.com's October RateWatch report, the average rate quoted to drivers last month was $1,804 per year, compared with $1,949 last fall. Those who shopped and switched policies using the site in October saved an average of $536 a year.

The RateWatch report data is based on the lowest average car insurance rates quoted to consumers in each state. See the complete car insurance rate report.
