Are there ways to lower my insurance premiums?
Insurance companies use several factors to determine how much your premium will be. The most important are your years of driving experience, violation and accident point count in the last three years, type of car you drive, where the vehicle is garaged, and most importantly how much insurance you buy.
The best way to lower the cost of your automobile insurance is to look for any discounts that you may qualify for, such as:
-
- Multi Car Discount, put all vehicles you own on same policy
- Auto & Home Discount, insure your car and home with the same company
- Driver Training Discount
- Good Student Discounts, 3.0 or better GPA
- Mature Driver Discounts, for drivers over 55, course certification required
- Educational Discounts – For certain degrees, Educators, Engineers, etc.
- Government/Military Discounts , for civil servants and government officials
