Here are several tips on how you can save on auto insurance rates as a senior.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Enroll in a defensive driver course.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With some carriers you get a reduced rate just for turning 65 years old, others require you to enroll in a driving class for you to earn discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive Driving courses cover a lot of topics for a small price. They?ll tell you how age and medications affect driving and how you can drive safely considering the age-related changes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Choose your car wisely.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Auto insurance rates vary according to the type of car you drive. So when you shop for cars, you might want to ask for insurance quotes on the models that you?re considering. In general, the cheapest cars are those that are not costly to repair and replace, and are used by safe &amp; experienced drivers. Thus, ensure that you get all the discounts from the features of your car, like anti-lock brakes and airbags.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Ensure that your car is well-protected.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Car technology nowadays can help you qualify for discounts. Install alarms, disabling devices, and vehicle tracking systems to protect your car. Note, however, that you don?t have to install advanced technologies to get the best insurance rates. Many companies can offer you discounts just by putting a Vehicle Identification Number to on your windshield.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Drive less.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you?ve recently retired from work, inform your insurer. They may decrease your premiums if you don?t drive to work every day. Also, consider getting a usage-based insurance policy, which bases your premiums on your driving habits. You can get discounts for having low mileage and driving the car during the safest times of the day.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Look for cheap, but dependable coverage.<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It would be wise for you to look and compare car insurance every year to ensure that you?re getting the best rates out there. Note that insurance premiums vary per company.
