How To Save on Auto Insurance By Estimating Your Mileage

Save money on auto insurance

Russ Wiles from the Arizona Republic has a great tip to save money on your auto insurance. He suggests that you re-evaluate just how much you drive every year. Don’t overpay for your car insurance! I’m sure you have far better things to spend your money on, especially at this time of year. ;-)

 

Insurers charge different rates based on your yearly mileage. If you’re driving less for any reason (lost your job, shorter commute, etc.), check to see if you can be considered a “pleasure driver”. Your premiums will drop 10-15% in that case. The majority of providers consider pleasure drivers those that drive under 7,500 miles per year, but if you compare auto insurance you might get lucky and find one that’s more lenient.
