You've got to have auto insurance, but do you have to pay so much? Insurance companies offer many discounts -- you just have to be sure you get all the ones you're entitled to. Here are some ways you may be able to lower your premiums: - You're a college graduate, have a good high school or college grade-point-average, or are an alumnus of a particular college
- You work in a field that tends to have better drivers than other professions
- You have a safe driving record over the past 3-5 years.
- You've taken a driver's education course.
- You commute a short distance to work or don't drive a lot.
- You have an alarm or theft deterrent system or safety features such as anti-lock brakes, automatic seat belts, or airbags.
- You own more than one vehicle.
- You have other types of insurance with the company, such as a homeowner's policy.
- You've been insured by the company for a certain number of years.
- You've served in the military.
- You pay your semi-annual or annual premium when you get the policy.
There are other ways to lower the cost of your insurance policy, such as taking a higher deductible or removing collision insurance on an older car. However, you should weigh those decisions carefully as they could cost you more in the long run.
