Reader’s Question:

How can I lower my car insurance cost. I’m a single parent here in Pennsylvania.

Single parent car insurance discounts can be reasonably cheap if the right steps are done to lower premiums.

Firstly, if a child is born, the single parent needs to notify his insurance company. As one becomes a parent, he is perceived as being less risky by the insurance companies, as such, premiums should become lower.

In order to lower the insurance cost of single parents, one may combine multiple coverages and policies with one company. Some car insurance companies offer homeowners and renters insurance that can be combined in one account with a discount.
One more way to lower single parent car insurance is to raise deductible levels. Doing this can have a significant impact on insurance for single parents and aid in controlling costs.

Reader’s Question:

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and it is really not cheap to park your car here so I garaged my vehicle in my girlfriend’s house in the suburbs. Is it legal if I change my zip code (where the vehicle is parked) in my car insurance information.

The place where the vehicle is garaged is typically where you live majority of the time regardless of where you garage your vehicle occasionally. Even though you use your girlfriend’s garaging address to keep your vehicle, you likely still need to operate the car to where you live, by using your automobile on a regular basis. So your residential address would be the similar as your garaging address.

Insurance carrier’s guidelines can vary though so I would recommend that you speak with your insurance carrier to know what rules they have for garaging addresses. If how you are garaging the automobile is acceptable to them and permitted according to their rules and guidelines then you may be able to use the garaging address.

If the insurance carrier does not allow this, you might think about shopping around for car insurance and obtaining auto insurance rates from other insurance companies to check if you can get cheaper premiums in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
