oliday time is fast approaching, and along with it, all that fun holiday shopping. With the average American family spending upward of $800 on gifts, chances are, you’d welcome any opportunity to have a little extra spending cash. So AAA Insurance Agency has put together some ways to save on auto insurance that can help put the jingle back into your pocket.
If you have more than one automobile and they’re insured with separate companies, wrap them up with one company and you could get yourself a gift with the savings. Start by thinking long-term. When your policy comes up for renewal, go for an annual policy instead of a six-month policy if you have the option. Why? Because you lock in the rate for the whole year. Knowing what to budget each month for auto insurance, especially during the holidays, can keep you feeling more like Santa than Scrooge.
It may also help to consider packaging all your insurance needs with the same company. For example, if you have coverage for your boat, motorcycle, RV or home with one company and auto with another, you could receive a discount if you insure them all with the same company. Discounts for multi-policies might save you enough for a new HDTV. Senior Connection • December 2011 • page 12
The same applies if you have more than one automobile and they’re insured with separate companies. Wrap them up with one company and you could get yourself a gift with the savings. The holidays could be a little cheerier for drivers age 55 and older if you’ve taken a driver improvement course. Some insurance carriers offer discounts for successfully completing the course. Talk with a AAA Insurance Agent about what carriers provide this discount, how much you could save and when you can sign up for the next AAA Senior Defensive Driver class. Who wouldn’t like a new iPod this holiday season? Well, one quick way to put some money toward that goal is to talk with your insurance agent about increasing your deductible. Believe it or not, deductibles can be increased or decreased any time during the policy’s duration. To find out what you could save, ask a AAA Insurance Agent. And Santa isn’t the only one who gives gifts to nice girls and boys. If you have a student on your policy and they are getting good grades (GPA of 3.0 or higher), you could be eligible for a discount that might pay for a stocking stuffer of music downloads. For more ways to save on auto insurance, contact a AAA Insurance Agent and ask for a free policy review. See ad on opposite page to find your local AAA office.
