Cheap car insurance is hard to obtain if you have lousy credit.

Most financial institutions such as banks, credit cards and insurers will want some concrete proof that you are able to successfully keep up payments. This is no different with car insurance. People with bad credit have usually got into that position by not paying their bills on time. And insurers will not look on this positively.

But whatever the reason for your bad credit rating, it will affect your ability to get cheap auto insurance.

Car insurance companies can easily check a drivers credit rating, which occurs during the application process. And since your credit rating can reflect your financial shortcomings, a car insurance company tend to believe that this could easily affect the way you pay them as well. For instance, they may assume you'll make late payments.

The most obvious way to improve your chances of getting cheap car insurance is by improving your credit score.

For example, make sure you pay all of your bills on time, if not early. And refrain from using credit cards or store cards that hit you hard with high interest.

There are some car insurance companies that specialize in providing insurance for higher risk drivers. These tend to not be as fussy when it comes to checking your credit score.

The end result if you have bad credit, you may struggle to get cheap car insurance. Common sense dictates that you'll be paying a higher premium than someone with a better credit score.
