A recent car insurance study discovered that over 70% of consumers kept their coverage with the same car insurance company for more than four years, and about 40% of consumers have never compared rate quotes at all. With the average premium in New Mexico being $1,244, drivers could save themselves 40% a year just by comparing rates, but they just don’t understand the benefits if they just switched companies.
To save the most money, the best way to find lower priced auto insurance rates is to do an annual price comparison from different companies in Albuquerque.
Step 1: Read about individual coverages and the modifications you can make to keep rates in check. Many things that result in higher rates like traffic citations, accidents, and a negative credit rating can be eliminated by making minor changes to your lifestyle.
Step 2: Request rate estimates from direct carriers, independent agents, and exclusive agents. Exclusive and direct companies can only give rate quotes from a single company like GEICO and State Farm, while independent agencies can quote rates from many different companies.
Step 3: Compare the new quotes to the premium of your current policy and determine if cheaper FX50 coverage is available. If you find a better price and change companies, make sure coverage is continuous and does not lapse.
Step 4: Provide proper notification to your current company of your decision to cancel your current car insurance policy. Submit payment along with a signed and completed policy application to the new insurer. Immediately upon receiving it, keep the new certificate verifying coverage with the vehicle registration.
A key point to remember is that you’ll want to compare identical coverages on every quote and and to get rates from every company you can. This helps ensure an apples-to-apples comparison and the best rate selection.
Locating the best rates in Albuquerque can be made easier if you know where to look. Basically, each driver who needs cheaper insurance will find a lower-cost policy. But New Mexico drivers should learn how companies charge you for coverage because it varies considerably.
When comparison shopping, having more price comparisons will enable you to find lower pricing. Not every company provides price estimates online, so it’s recommended that you also compare rates from those companies as well.

| Model | Comp | Collision | Liability | Medical | UM/UIM | Annual Premium | Monthly Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX50 AWD 4-Dr | $384 | $768 | $322 | $20 | $96 | $1,615 | $135 |

Cost estimates assume married male driver age 30, no speeding tickets, no at-fault accidents, and New Mexico minimum liability limits. Discounts applied include homeowner, multi-vehicle, multi-policy, safe-driver, and claim-free. Rate quotes do not factor in the specific area where the vehicle is garaged which can lower or raise coverage rates substantially.
Based on this data, we can arrive at the conclusion that using a $100 deductible costs roughly $33 more each month or $396 for a full year across all Infiniti FX50 models than opting for the higher $500 deductible. Since the policyholder would be required to pay $400 more if you file a claim with a $500 deductible as compared to a $100 deductible, if you usually have at least 12 months between claim filings, you would probably save some money if you choose a higher deductible.
Safe drivers Albuquerque pay cheaper rates
The information below highlights how traffic violations and at-fault collisions can raise Infiniti FX50 auto insurance rates for different ages of insureds. The data is based on a married female driver, full physical damage coverage, $1,000 deductibles, and no policy discounts are applied.
Four factors that affect insurance rates
Many things are part of the calculation when pricing auto insurance. Most are fairly basic such as your driving history, although some other factors are more transparent like where you live or your vehicle rating.
Shown below are a few of the “ingredients” auto insurance companies consider when setting your premiums.
Do you really need to file those insurance claims? – Companies in New Mexico provide better rates to insureds who do not rely on their insurance for small claims. If you are the type of insured that files lots of claims you can pretty much guarantee higher rates. Insurance coverage is meant to be used in the event of the bigger claims that can’t be paid out-of-pocket.
Add-on coverages can waste money – There are many extra coverages that sound like a good idea at the time on your FX50 policy. Coverage for things like rental car reimbursement, towing, and term life insurance are some examples. They may seem good when you first buy your policy, but if you don’t need them get rid of them and save.
Theft deterrents save – Selecting a car model with advanced anti-theft systems can save you a little every year. Theft deterrent systems like tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all help prevent car theft.
Do safer cars cost less to insure? – Cars with high safety ratings tend to have lower insurance rates. Vehicles built for safety help reduce the chance of injuries in an accident and better occupant protection means lower claim amounts which can result in lower premiums. If your Infiniti FX50 scored at minimum four stars on Safercar.gov it is probably cheaper to insure.

Types of auto insurance agents
If you are wanting to find a reputable agency, you must know there are a couple types of agencies and how they are distinctly different. Car insurance policy providers can be classified as either independent (non-exclusive) or exclusive.
Exclusive Car Insurance Agents
Exclusive insurance agents have only one company to place business with and examples are Allstate, State Farm and Farmers Insurance. Exclusive agents are unable to provide other company’s prices so always compare other rates. They are usually well trained on their company’s products which helps them sell on service rather than price. Consumers frequently buy insurance from these agents mainly due to the prominence of the brand and the convenience of having all coverages with one company.
Listed below is a list of exclusive agents in Albuquerque that are able to give price quote information.

Independent Agents
These agents are not employed by any specific company so they can write business with multiple insurance companies and potentially find a lower price. If you want to switch companies, they simply move your policy to a different company which requires no work on your part. If you need cheaper car insurance rates, you absolutely need to include rate quotes from a couple of independent agencies to get the most accurate price comparison. Many independent agencies also insure through companies that do not advertise much who may have lower rates.

When should I discuss my situation with an agent?
When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there is no one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether or not you could use an agent’s help.
- Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
- Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
- Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
- Does coverage follow the driver or the vehicle?
- Should I rate my vehicle as business use?
- When should I not buy collision coverage?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.
