costs vary, so it’s normal to be concerned about a possible increase, especially when you already have a great rate. While increases do happen and are sometimes out of your control, you can keep your insurance low in other ways.
. Your driving record is often a significant factor that companies use to determine your rate. Drivers with clean records will typically have lower rates than someone with accidents or violations.
Another thing you can do is check for discounts. Enrolling in a telematics or driving behavior discount program can help save you money on a policy. Taking a driving training or defensive driving course can also provide additional discounts.
Finally, shop around. Comparison shopping every six to 12 months is a great way to ensure you’re always getting the lowest rate.
