Reducing insurance premiums Keep a clean record Some insurers offer a discount to drivers who consistently prove to be safe drivers by not receiving moving violations or being involved in accidents. At the least, keeping a clean record will prevent extra surcharges from being added to your premium. Maintain consistent coverage Customers who do not lapse in their insurance often receive a better premium when applying for new coverage. Take a defensive driving course Drivers who participate in official courses in defensive driving may see reductions in their rates, especially if accidents or moving violations appear on their driving records. Take a Driver Improvement course For drivers over 55 years of age, these refresher courses can improve skills while reducing rates. Choose a suitable vehicle Certain vehicles are cheaper to insure depending on their characteristics. A basic Volvo and a powerful Chevrolet Corvette are likely to have very different rates.
