Recently, E3 Spark Plugs gave you the low down on American cities with the highest car insurance premiums. This time, we’ve got good news – five top tips to help keep your insurance premiums as low as possible…
- Limit your mileage: Drivers with low annual mileage can save about 10 percent on their insurance. Plus, you may be eligible for a discount if you only drive your vehicle a couple of days a week. Consider carpooling with a co-worker, make use of public transportation or, if your destination is close enough, walk or ride your bike. Chances are you could use the exercise.
- Have a little loyalty: Insurance companies typically offer discounts to clients who stick with them for long periods of time and who renew their policies early.
- Bundle up & pay up: Buy your car insurance from the same company that provides your homeowners or life insurance, and you’ll likely score a discount. Paying your annual premium all at once rather than making monthly payments also will cut the total bill.
- Make the grade: Four-year college graduates and high school students who score a high GPA often can get a break on auto insurance premiums.
- Join the club: Membership in certain auto clubs, professional organizations, credit unions and alumni associations may make you eligible for premium discounts with some insurance providers.
