What Makes Car Insurance “Low Cost"?

Most people think low cost car insurance just means finding the cheapest monthly premium. But true low cost insurance considers the total cost of ownership over time, including:

Upfront Costs

• Down payments and deposits
• Processing and setup fees
• First month premiums

Ongoing Costs

• Monthly premium payments
• Late fees and penalties
• Cancellation and reinstatement fees
• Interest charges on payment plans

Hidden Long-Term Costs

• Credit score damage from missed payments
• Higher rates after policy lapses
• Loss of continuous coverage discounts
• Increased premiums in high-risk categories

The OCHO Difference: We address ALL these cost factors, not just the monthly premium. Our payment flexibility and 0% APR financing make quality coverage accessible without the financial stress that leads to costly mistakes.

The Hidden Costs That Make "Cheap" Insurance Expensive

The Cancellation Trap

Poor credit can have a big impact on auto insurance costs in most other states. Our analysis shows that drivers with poor credit can expect to pay an average of 66% more for full coverage than those with good credit.

When you miss a payment on traditional insurance:

1. Immediate cancellation (often within 10-15 days)
2. Credit score damage from the missed payment
3. Lapse in continuous coverage affecting future rates
4. Reinstatement fees (typically $25-50)Higher premiums when you reapply (high-risk category)

OCHO's Solution: We provide up to 15 extra days when you need them, preventing the cascading costs of temporary financial setbacks.

The Problem With Most Payment Plans

Many people can’t afford to buy their entire insurance policy upfront. Insurance companies will offer payment plans so you can actually buy the premium from them. But at a cost.

Many major insurers (like Allstate, State Farm, GEICO) charge $3–$10 per installment, with GEICO typically at $5 per non-AutoPay payment, and Progressive charging ~$8 for mailed payments.

Installment fees ($3–$10/month) may seem small, but over multiple payments they can embed interest rates in the teens, adding hundreds of dollars to what looked like a “low‑cost” policy. And on top of those installment fees, they will likely add a service charge as well.

OCHO charges one clear, upfront fee that’s spread evenly across your payment plan. You’ll see the total cost before you buy—no hidden fees, no extra surprise charges.

The Down Payment Burden

Traditional insurers often require 20-50% down payments, forcing drivers to:

• Delay getting insured while saving money
• Choose minimal coverage they can afford upfront
• Take on debt or emergency fund depletion

OCHO's Alternative: Our no down payment options let you get the coverage you need immediately, without compromising your financial stability.

How OCHO Makes Car Insurance Truly Low Cost
