Making your vehicle safer saves money

Did you know that many companies offer a discount on your insurance policy if you make your vehicle safer? There are many ways to do this. For example, if your vehicle has an anti-theft device installed, this helps ensure the vehicle is less likely to be stolen. Ask your agent about discounts for steering wheel locks and alarm systems. You can also save if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes and proper safety and restraint features. When you shop for car insurance ask about your vehicle and the various ways your agent can help you save money on insurance. Discounts types and amounts will vary by carrier.

Being a safe driver matters

Some of the best New York car insurance discounts come from being a safe driver. Maintain a violations-free driving record by avoiding moving violations such as speeding or reckless driving. If you have violations, consider taking a defensive driving course, which can help you learn skills to avoid dangerous on-the-road accidents and also make you eligible for discounts with some carriers. For drivers who are still in school, getting good grades can also help you save money on auto insurance. This includes both high school and college students. Driver training for drivers under 19 years old can also help you secure lower-costing insurance. Remain as safe as possible on the roads to keep your vehicle safe and your insurance rates lower.

Company-provided discounts

Another type of discount available to New York motorists relates to the types of coverage you obtain and how you use it. For example, if you are a college student who leaves their vehicle at home while away at school, you may drive little enough to present lower risk.
