More discounts equal less premium

Companies offering auto insurance don't always advertise every discount in a way that's easy to find, so we researched both well-publicized and the more hidden ways to save on auto insurance.

  • Pay Now and Pay Less - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you may reduce your total bill.
  • Auto/Life Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give better rates if you take out auto and life insurance together.
  • Low Mileage Discounts - Low mileage vehicles could be rewarded with better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Drivers Ed for Students - Have your child successfully complete driver's ed class if offered at their school.
  • Safety Course Discount - Taking part in a course in driver safety could cut 5% off your bill and easily recoup the cost of the course.
  • Save over 55 - Mature drivers may receive better auto insurance rates.

A little note about advertised discounts, many deductions do not apply to your bottom line cost. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability and collision coverage. So when the math indicates all those discounts means the company will pay you, you won't be that lucky.
