Reader’s Question:

I just bought a new car in Baltimore, Maryland, and I’m shopping around for an affordable insurance policy. I heard advice from friends to get a higher deductible to lower the cost of my premium. Should I take their advice?

If you think you have what it takes to be a responsible driver, you may want to think about increasing your deductibles to lower you car insurance premium payments. When I say deductibles, this is the amount you will personally have to shell out for any repairs or payments on your insurance claim. In one scenario, for example, if you have set your deductible to be $500, and you will need to have the car repaired for $2000 through your insurance claim, you will first have to pay your $500 share while your insurance company will pay for the remaining $1500 balance of the bill. A higher deductible might just be the key to getting your premium to your desired level. It will also make you think twice if you ever come up with the idea of driving down the freeway fast and furious style in Baltimore, Maryland. Please note however, that you should only offer to pay a deductible amount that is within your budget or capacity to pay if ever an unfortunate event does happen. Otherwise, your plan to save by getting a more affordable insurance premium will backfire since you will end up paying for most of the repair expenses out of your own pocket.
