The best time to shop for car insurance is when you buy or lease a new car and when your policy is up for renewal. It never hurts to compare quotes, and it’s always best to confirm you’ve got the best rate whenever you’re locking in a new policy.

For example, location and timing could affect rating factors in a particular area. And economic factors — like inflation and tariffs — can affect repair costs, leading to higher premiums.
