Thirdly, ask the insurance company about what types of discounts they offer. Here are a few common discounts:
- Driver’s education discount – for completing a driver’s education course
- Good student discount – for students with good grades
- Lіmіted mileage discount – for low mileage useage of the car
- Safe Driver Device discount – for having a safe driver device installed in your car to track your driving habits
- Military discount – for active duty military members
And finally, raise your deductible. The more you are willing to pay out of pocket the lower your insurance premium will be. Of course, this is only good if you can afford to pay the deductible when an accident does happen.
