Originally given the name Hillsborough by its first settlers in 1890, Deerfield was given its current name in 1898 when it’s population grew a bit and it got its own post office. As you may have guessed, it was given the name Deerfield in 1925 due to the large amount of deer that grazed along the Hillsborough River at that time.
The population of Deerfield continued to grow and eventually the Florida East Coast Railroad constructed tracks through Deerfield en route to Miami. A largely agricultural community, most residents at that time were farmers that grew things like pineapple, tomatoes, green beans and squash and the addition of the railroad only helped them here. The area remained primarily agricultural but in 1939 was given the name Deerfield Beach so people knew that there was a beach located there and after World War II, people began to take notice of the scenic waterfront and its popularity only grew from that point on.
Managing cost on an auto insurance policy is something that all customers are always looking to do. In Deerfield Beach, the average person is paying about $225 per month for auto insurance. You need to make sure that you are protecting your assets while simultaneously making sure your premium doesn’t become too costly. This type of balance isn’t always easy to obtain but with a little patience and a knowledgeable agent that you trust, you can be sure you are getting what you need without breaking the bank.
Many ways that you can get lower auto insurance in Deerfield Beach are things that are not frequently thought of or just seem downright daunting. With that in mind, Advantage Plus prides itself on taking on that burden for you. Here are a few examples of how you can do your part to protect your wallet and make sure you have the best rate possible:
Shop around – Listen, we understand that everyone has their own life and that work, commitments, family etc can eat up a lot of time so who has or wants to use the time to search around for auto insurance rates? As your agent, we take this process out of your hands and handle it for you. We have partnered with NINE different auto insurance providers to provide you the best options when choosing the policy that’s right for you. Many of the ones we have relationships with have ‘A’ ratings on A.M. Best if you’re looking for the best possible service and we also have other options for those of you with a firm budget. Whatever your needs may be, we’ve got you covered.
Raise your deductibles – This is one of the more common ways to reduce premiums so if you are okay with coming out of pocket a little more should an incident arise, raising your deductibles will ultimately lower how much you pay for your premium. Make sure you are truthful with yourself though and be sure that the amount that you select for your deductible is manageable for you in the event that something should happen.
Pay in advance – This is very simple and can result in significant savings if you have the ability to pay your premium in full at the beginning of the policy term. Companies will not only give you a discount but they also eliminate any fees that they assess on their policies and the savings can amount to hundreds of dollars in some cases. If you are not in a position to do that, at very minimum set up your monthly installments on autopay because most companies offer a discount for this simple step.
