By Chimezirim Odimba

Folks who understand how to shop for quotes, more often than not, spot the best deals. If you are NOT one of them, you'll soon learn the process in this article. However, before that, or while you do that, there are many other tips to use if you intend to save as much as possible. Let's take a look at some of them...

1. Smokers get life insurance rates that are twice or more that of non-smokers. It is a sure fact that smokers are prone to many health conditions and that they don't live long.

If smoking results to some kinds of health problems, then it makes a person a high life insurance risk and that calls for higher rates. Once you quit smoking for up to 12 months inform your present insurer or reapply to some other insurer and you will see a remarkable drop in your life insurance premium.

2. Getting your life insurance from the same insurance company that provides your other insurance policies will get you a discount in life insurance premium. Every insurance company will typically offer a discount if you make a purchase of more than one policy from their company.

Nevertheless, all the amount you may save may still be much lower if weighed with savings you'll make by getting your policies from several insurers.

3. Take it upon yourself to ask your agent about all the discounts available to you with your preferred insurance carrier. There is a possibility that your agent did not remember to tell you about some. The only way to ensure it's false in your case is by telling your agent to list out all discount that your preferred insurance carrier gives. You might be in for a really pleasant surprise!

4. Keep an excellent credit rating. Having a bad credit rating is simply making difficult for yourself in addition to the fact that your premium will be much higher. This is because insurance carriers see individuals who miss payments as reckless and a bigger risk to them. Once you are seen as a higher risk you will attract higher life insurance rates.

5. You'll get lower rates if you elect to pay your premiums annually and not monthly. Yes, monthly payments might be convenient but it is also costly.

If you do transactions with banks you'll agree with me that each check you process is regarded as deal which attracts a certain charge. For twelve payments (that is, your monthly payments) you'll have a total of twelve transactions. This implies that transaction costs would be 12 times more for people who pay monthly.

That's one side of it: Insurers also incur certain administrative costs for your monthly premiums. For example, it costs some money to send payment notices each and every month.

These costs plus a profit margin for this feature is added to your life insurance premium making it more than a similar profile that pays annually every year.

6. You can lower your life insurance rates by asking for and evaluating quotes from at least five good insurance quotes sites. - 29971
