How can I get cheaper car insurance in Massachusetts?
Re-quote at every renewal rather than letting the policy roll, raise your deductible to $1,000 if you can absorb it, bundle with home or renters cover, and ask specifically about low-mileage, defensive-driving and telematics discounts. The spread between the cheapest and most expensive carrier on an identical risk is routinely close to 2x.
