Congratulations! Getting your car insurance online will save you a ton of money month after month and year after year. But before you simply jump online and find one of those websites that allows you to compare the prices of car insurance policies from a variety of insurance companies there are a few things you need to do first.

To begin with you need to know how to answer some of the questions that you will be asked. Reading this article should help you answer many of the questions in the right way - that is, in the way that will save you the most money.

For example, if it is at all possible for you to park your car in a garage at night you are going to save money.

If you can set it up so that your insurance payment is made automatically every month out of your bank account you will also save money.

Many insurance companies will charge you less if you buy and use a simple steering wheel locking device. Your insurance agent may suggest other simple and low-cost anti-theft measures that can save you even more.

Start carpooling to work every day. Carpooling not only saves gas and wear and tear on your car, but if you can cut the number of miles in half that you normally drive to and from work every month then you will reduce the cost of your car insurance as well.

If you can use public transportation as much as possible and leave your car parked at home half the time, you may be able to qualify for a rather substantial Low Mileage Discount.

If you retire from work let your agent know as this will also reduce the cost of your car insurance.

Young drivers should stay in school and work hard on getting good grades. If you can maintain a "B" grade average - or better - you can save a substantial 5% or more on your insurance costs.

If you are married listing the wife as the primary driver of the vehicle and listing the husband as the secondary driver will save you a substantial amount every month.

Drive legally at all times. It should come as no surprise to you that if you have speeding tickets or other moving violations on your driving record you will not find the cheapest auto insurance.

Don't pay for collision or comprehensive insurance on older vehicles. If your vehicle is so old or so beat-up that it no longer has any Kelly Blue Book value then there is no reason in the world for you to waste another penny on collision or comprehensive insurance.

The more you can afford to pay for your deductible the less you will pay each month for your insurance. Of course you don't want to go overboard and promise to pay a larger deductible than you can actually afford.

And, as we said earlier, buying your car insurance online also saves you money. One of the tricks if you want to save the most money possible is to take the extra time to fill out the form on 3 different websites that compare insurance prices, rather than relying on the results from just one site.

Also you will need to take care that you answer the questions on all 3 websites exactly the same way. By putting in the same answer each time you are comparing the same car insurance policy on all three websites and the results you get will be more valuable and will save you more money.

Once you've made your comparisons on 3 different sites all you need to do is review all the answers and choose the lowest-price. That's all there is to it. Really. That is how you get cheap car insurance online in Mississippi.
