Choose a higher deductible on collision and comprehensive
coverage.
Remove collision and/or comprehensive coverage on older cars.
Eliminate any overlaps in personal injury protection (PIP)
coverage between your accident insurance and your health insurance.
Enroll in a car pool or take advantage of public transit.
Don't drive unnecessarily, since rates are determined in part
on the amount and type of driving.
Shop for a car that is reasonably priced with good performance
records and safety features like airbags, seat belts and anti-lock
brakes.
Drive defensively. Tickets and at-fault accidents can increase
your rates for up to three years.
Beware of geographic rate differentials. Living in less urban
areas reduces rates.
Take a defensive driving course. Many insurance companies
offer discounts to drivers who get a B or better.
Contact your local independent insurance agent, who can shop
around for you and explain exactly what is covered by different
policies.
Additional Coverages: Extra coverage that can be purchased
to provide protection above and beyond that provided in the original
or standard policy (e.g., purchasing a higher amount of coverage
against the theft of jewelry). When such additional coverage is
purchased, it becomes an Endorsement or Rider to the original
policy.
