Car Insurance

1. TO LEARN IS TO SAVE. Spending 6 hours and less than $50 for a course to improve driving skills could save you 10% off you auto insurance for 3 full years.

2. INSTALL THE RIGHT ANTI-THEFT DEVICE. Not all anti-theft devices are created equally. The most common ones that merely sound an alarm but do nothing to prevent the car from being started can result in a 5% discount off theft coverage. However, a homing device like Lo-Jack often merits a 15% discount.

3. VIN ETCHING. Many local police departments offer a program to etch the vehicle identification number into the car’s windshield. Typical savings on your premium? 5%.

4. INCREASE THE DEDUCTIBLE. If you raise your deductible (the amount you pay in the event of an accident) from $100 to $500 on Collision and Comprehensive (non-collision), coverage can result in as much as 45% off the annual Collision premium and 35% off the Comprehensive premium.
