The quickest and easiest way to that is to go to an online insurance comparison website. There you'll get get quotes from top-ranked companies so you can compare rates. (See link below.)

* Increase you deductible if you can afford to pay it.

* Decline collision and comprehensive coverage if your car is worth less than your premium.

* Decline medical coverage if you already have medical insurance that covers you.

* Decline towing coverage if you have it through AAA or somewhere else.

* If you have two cars, insure them with the same company.

* Decline rental car coverage if you don't want it.

* Include all the discounts you're entitled to for security features like anti-theft devices, airbags, anti-lock brakes, and automatic seat belts.
