Lapses in coverage are a sure way to see an increase in premiums. Lapses often occur when you change your carriers or even when you simply change policies. When companies find out about gaps they will raise insurance rates.
Search for rates from a variety of companies before selecting the auto insurance that works best for you. You will have to do some legwork to find a policy with a good reputation and a low premium.
You can save a lot of money on insurance costs if you take a defensive driving course.
