Take discounts and save
Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available that you may not even be aware of. Some trigger automatically at quote time, but some may not be applied and must be asked for prior to getting the savings. If you don’t get every credit available, you are throwing money away.
- Good Student Discount – Performing well in school can be rewarded with saving of up to 25%. Earning this discount can benefit you up until you turn 25.
- Drive Safe and Save – Drivers who avoid accidents can get discounts for up to 45% lower rates than drivers with accident claims.
