10 Tips On How To Manage Insurance Costs

Manage your Auto Insurance Costs:

  1. Combine your accounts - make sure to combine your home, auto and business policies with Safety to maximize the discounts available.
  1. Make sure to update your agent on life changes - Have you recently moved? Do you still have drivers on your policy who no longer live with you? Do you drive less than you used to? A proud parent of a good student &/or student away at school? All of these can lower the amount you are paying for auto insurance.
  2. Drive safe and save - Besides being a safe driver for obvious reasons, being a safe driver can also earn you safe driving discounts. In addition, participating in the In Control Crash Prevention Training Course may qualify you for even more discounts.
  3. Models that make a difference - If you are shopping for a new vehicle, consider the type you choose because it can affect your insurance. Keep in mind how new or old the vehicle is, if it a luxury/high performance vehicle vs. family vehicles.
