Ways to bring down your San Antonio down payment and monthly cost

Compare carriers. Rates and down-payment terms vary widely between companies. A-MAX shops 35+ carriers so you are not stuck with one company's price.

Choose the coverage you need. A liability policy that meets the Texas minimum of 30/60/25 costs less than full coverage. You can add collision and comprehensive when it makes sense.

Stack your discounts. Multi-vehicle, safe-driver, defensive-driving-course, and other discounts can lower both your down payment and your monthly premium.

Set up monthly payments. Spreading the cost over the term keeps your starting payment low.

San Antonio drivers A-MAX helps

A-MAX is a non-standard specialist, which means we work with drivers other companies turn away:

Drivers with tickets, at-fault accidents, or a DUI

Drivers with a lapse in coverage or no prior insurance

Drivers who need an SR-22 filed with TxDPS

A-MAX shops carriers built for these situations, so keeping your down payment low does not mean giving up the coverage you need.
