South Carolina ranks below national average for car insurance rates
We all wish our car insurance cost less, but according to a new study, South Carolina rates are still below the national average.
The average Palmetto State driver pays about $763 a year on car insurance. The national average is $837. That's based on 2004 premiums and expenses.
The South Carolina Insurance News Service says you can bring your rate down by doing a few simple things: shop around, ask for a higher deductible, reduce coverage on older cars, get your homeowners insurance and your car insurance from the same carrier, and ask for discounts. You never know what you may be eligible for.
