There are many drivers that consider car insurance to be too expensive. However, car insurance is a necessity for many drivers that can’t imagine doing their daily routines without driving their vehicles. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways that can help drivers save money on car insurance.

To lower the price of car insurance, drivers should follow the next tips:


  • Keep a clean driving record. Drivers that manage to avoid getting a traffic ticket or causing an accident for a specific number of years, will be rewarded with a discount by their insurers.
  • Pay for the whole policy at once. Policyholders can save hundreds of dollars per year, if they decide to pay for the whole policy at once, rather than paying monthly for car insurance premiums.
  • Improve the credit score. The credit score is an important factor that helps the insurers determine the insurance premiums. Drivers with an average or poor credit score will pay more than those that have a good or excellent credit score.
  • Drive less. Drivers that for different reasons are driving fewer miles than usual, should contact their insurers and check if they can qualify for a low-mileage discount.
  • Select a higher deductible. The deductible is the amount a policyholder has to pay out of his pocket whenever he is filing a claim. Raising the deductible will help drivers pay less on car insurance.
  • Bundle multiple policies. Drivers that have multiple policies like car insurance, homeowner’s insurance, renter’s insurance or life insurance, should contact their insurance providers and check if they can bundle multiple policies. Usually, insurance companies will offer great discounts to policyholders that are combining multiple policies with them.

When Is The Best Time To Get Car Insurance Quotes Online


News Image

“Certain events can affect the price paid on car insurance. To avoid surprises, drivers are recommended to compare online car insurance quotes once at every six months”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains when drivers should check the car insurance market.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/when-its-recommended-to-check-car-insurance-quotes-online/

The car insurance rates paid by a driver can be affected by certain events. In some cases, drivers will pay less on their insurance premiums, while on other cases drivers will have to get out more money from their pockets

Drives are recommended to check the insurance market in the following situations:


  • Their credit score changed. In most states, the insurance companies are allowed to take the driver’s credit score into consideration when they determine the premiums paid by him. The insurance companies claim they found a correlation between the credit score and the chances for a claim to be made. For this reason, drivers with bad credit scores will pay more on insurance, while the ones with a good credit score will pay less.
  • State laws have changed. Each state has its own car insurance laws and requirements. These laws and requirements can be changed at any time, so it’s important for drivers to inform themselves about these changes in a regular manner.
  • The policyholder has maintained coverage. New drivers and drivers that have long coverage lapses are considered high-risk drivers by the insurers. To pay less on their premiums, these types of drivers will have to maintain coverage for at least six months.
  • Major life events. Getting married, moving to a better neighborhood, buying a safe car can lower the price of insurance paid by drivers. However, drivers that are getting divorced, moving to a high-crime neighborhood, or they are purchasing an unsafe vehicle, will have their insurance rates increased.
  • Renewal time is getting close. Rival insurance companies will try to lure to them those drivers that have only several weeks until their car policy expires. To do that, they are ready to offer significant discounts. Drivers are recommended to analyze all the factors involved before switching insurance carriers. Policyholders will have to weigh the gains and losses if they decide to make this move.

Winter Driving Tips – How To Get The Car Ready For The Cold Season


News Image

“Winter can be a challenge even for veteran drivers. Check our website for more winter-driving tips”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that presents several important winter driving tips and why it is important to have car insurance during this time of the year.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/winter-driving-tips/

Driving during winter can be extremely hazardous. Icy roads, freezing temperatures, and snowstorms are serious impediments. If a person ventures forth and decides to drive, he should follow the next tips:


  • Avoid tailgating. Usually, drivers should follow the “3-4 seconds”, meaning that they should keep 3-4 seconds distance from the car ahead. During winter drivers should add extra space and maintain 8 to 10 seconds of distance from the car in front. Keep this in mind when approaching a parking lot near a hypermarket/mall
  • Adapt driving style to weather conditions. Speed limits are based on perfect road conditions. In winter driving conditions, going 65 mph on the highway is really risky. Reduce speed to a safer limit. Also, do not be stressed by a driver behind you who is tailgating or flashing his lights. Think about your safety first. If necessary, pull to the side of the road to let the driver pass.
  • Pay extra attention to parking lots. Parking lots are more dangerous than one may think. Pay extra care to the surrounding traffic when parking near a mall or hypermarket. Some drivers may be distracted by all sorts of billboards and TV screens.
  • Avoid using cruise control. Deactivate cruise control when driving on a road covered with ice or snow. If the vehicle loses traction on a patch of ice, cruise control will accelerate to try to maintain speed. In many cases, the driver will lose control and the car will collide with another vehicle or a structure.
  • Check batteries, fluids, and tires. Do not venture outside without inspecting the car first. Make sure that the battery is not near-depletions, the tires have a consistent thread and the liquids are at acceptable levels. Also, check if all the lights are working properly.
  • Monitor the weather. Sometimes, the best driving tip is not to drive at all. If there’s a massive snowstorm expected, the driver should better wait for it to pass. Also, freezing cold temperatures may damage car components. The recent polar vortex is one example.

How To Get Affordable Car Insurance For First Time Drivers


News Image

“First-time drivers may be a bit confused when getting car insurance. But with proper knowledge and support, they will select a really good offer”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how first-time drivers can get a cheap coverage.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-insure-first-time-drivers/

Getting your first car can be really exciting. But a driver should never forget that he must carry insurance whenever he is driving. For people buying car insurance for the first time, this may seem a daunting task.


  • Check the state’s legislation. Each state has certain laws regarding auto insurance on their territory. These laws may refer to the minimum required coverage (including policy types and their respective limits), reimbursement options, coverage gaps, penalties for driving without insurance or procedures to follow when requiring an insurer’s assistance. Visit the state’s Department of Insurance website and its DMV website. They provide really valuable info.
  • Get familiar with insurance terms. It is recommended to spend some time and discover what the most common insurance terms mean. This will help drivers read the insurance contract easier and make an educated choice.
  • Determine what policies must be bought. New drivers must always buy the state’s minimum requirements. Plus, full coverage, if the driver is still financing the car. After these requirements are met, the driver is free to add as much coverage as it pleases and can afford. However, it is recommended to buy more than just the minimum liability coverage. GAP coverage is also recommended for drivers of new cars.
  • Look for top reliable companies. Make a list with 5-10 insurance companies who sell coverage in the area. Look for companies with good financial strength, customer satisfaction, and low complaint ratio. There are several consumer report websites that should be analyzed.
  • Get online quotes. Obtaining car insurance quotes online will help drivers track the best offers. It is recommended to get quotes for the trustworthy companies found on the previous point.

CBL Properties Broadens Holiday Marketing Strategy at its Retail Properties


Robust event programming has always been a crucial component of the holiday experience at our properties. As the retail real estate industry has evolved, we recognized an opportunity to differentiate our holiday offerings and create custom programs that are unique to each community.

Sensory-friendly Santa experiences, snow shows and pet photo nights are among the exciting and fun programs CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) is offering at its retail centers this holiday season. This year also marks the fourth year the company will close 55 of its properties on Thanksgiving.

“Robust event programming has always been a crucial component of the holiday experience at our properties. As the retail real estate industry has evolved, we recognized an opportunity to differentiate our holiday offerings and create custom programs that are unique to each community,” said Stephen Lebovitz, CEO of CBL Properties. “Customers can enjoy new events every week throughout the holidays, ranging from character appearances to cookie decorating classes and VIP shopping experiences. These events create special memories and bring the magic of the holiday season to life at our properties.”

Lebovitz added, “In 2016, CBL decided to close its enclosed malls on Thanksgiving in order to allow CBL employees and others who work at each property to spend the holiday with family and friends. The decision has been met with such an overwhelmingly positive response that we have elected to continue this tradition.”

In partnership with Cherry Hill Programs, CBL hosts Santa Cares, a sensory-friendly experience that spans 40 properties across the U.S. During the event, the property team dims the lights, turns off the music and opens early to accommodate children with special needs and their families, allowing them the opportunity to visit with Santa in a relaxed setting. Select retailers also open early so that these families can shop in a low-stimulus environment.

Other holiday events taking place across CBL’s portfolio include:

  • Family-focused events with character appearances featuring superheroes, princesses, and other well-known favorites, story time with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and musical performances
  • Sip & shop events including holiday party place setting classes, wine and cheese pairings, cooking classes, and DIY ugly sweater classes
  • VIP experiences including free gift wrapping, mini massages, and wine sampling


In addition to the event programming, CBL introduced a new holiday advertisement campaign that shifts the focus to the stories and experiences created throughout the holiday season. The ad strategy responds to changing consumer habits. Variations of this content will support malls and retail centers across the country, running as digital ads on social media, display ads, pre-roll video and audio ads.

About CBL Properties

Headquartered in Chattanooga, TN, CBL Properties owns and manages a national portfolio of market-dominant properties located in dynamic and growing communities. CBL’s portfolio is comprised of 108 properties totaling 68.2 million square feet across 26 states, including 68 high quality enclosed, outlet and open-air retail centers and nine properties managed for third parties.
