ways
to save
Let’s face it...auto
insurance can be costly, especially if your driving
record is a little less than perfect. Here are some
suggestions on ways to help ease the burden*.
- Increased
comprehensive/collision deductibles
An increase from $250 to $500 can often save you
as much as 5-10%. Many carriers have deductible options
as high as $1,000 or $2,500. Just make sure that
you have the resources to handle the larger deductible
in the event of a loss.
Some carriers offer an additional discount of
10-20% on your auto insurance premium if you insure
your home with them as well.
A Good Student Discount may be available if your
child has a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
An additional discount may be available if your
vehicle has airbags, automatic seatbelts, an alarm
system or anti-lock brakes. The VIN number of your
car usually verifies most of these; however, if you
have upgraded your alarm system or installed a tracking
device, you may be missing out on this discount.
If you are an educator, scientist, engineer or are
a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association
or the California Medical Association, you could
be eligible for a discount of up to 15%
If you are 55 or older and have completed a DMV-approved
Defensive Driver Course, you may qualify for a discount
of up to 5%.
*All
discounts vary by carrier. Supplemental
documentation may be required. Please contact our office
to see if you qualify.
