How to save on car insurance as costs continue to rise

CHARLOTTE — Maintaining a new car in 2023 isn’t an easy task.

According to Triple A, it will cost you just under $11,000 each year to maintain a new car now. Car insurance takes up a big chunk of that.

WSB-TV Consumer Correspondent Clark Howard found ways you can reduce what you pay and still get the coverage you need.

Bundling your car insurance with other types of insurance is one way to save and picking a higher deductible.

Howard talked to one driver who has someone looking at ways she can save on a regular basis.

“We have someone who continually looks at our insurance to see how we can get less or more off,” Abigail Damico said.

Always looking at other companies’ deals can lead to a better deal for you in the long run.
