  • Senior Citizens - Mature drivers may be able to get a discount up to 10%.
  • Drive Less and Save - Fewer annual miles can qualify you for better rates on cars that stay parked.
  • Sign Online - Some insurance companies may give you up to $50 just for signing your application over the internet.
  • No Claims - Drivers with accident-free driving histories can earn big discounts as compared to bad drivers.
  • Payment Method - If paying your policy premium upfront instead of paying each month you could save 5% or more.
