Cheap Car Insurance Tip #15: Park in a private garage.

This is another aspect of vehicle security, and this is a factor that is relied upon quite heavily in order to determine exactly how much you will pay for your auto insurance coverage. Because automobile theft and vandalism has been on the rise over the past few years, insurance agents have had to increase auto insurance premiums in order to be able to pay out on all the claims.

However, cars and vehicles that are parked inside a garage or a carport almost always cost less to insure than those that are just being parked on the side of the road, or even in a driveway for that matter; regardless of what your neighborhood is like. Conversely, parking in a public parking garage at night or during the day (even if you are required to do so for your job) can actually increase your auto insurance premiums, so you will want to be aware of this, as well when shopping for cheap car insurance.
