Reader’s question:

I’m seventy and have been retired for five years, so I don’t use my car like I did before. Is there some way I can get better car insurance rates?

Good question, Alexander.

You actually just answered part of your question in your very first sentence. You don’t use your car like you used to. Did you know that there is a discount for that? Not many working people are able to take advantage of it because they constantly use their car, but the low mileage discount is available from several companies to people who drive less than five thousand miles every year.

Another discount that you are definitely eligible for because of your age is the personal injury protection discount. This, of course, only applies if you have personal injury protection coverage for your vehicle. It gives a twenty five percent discount for any car insurance policy in which at least twenty five percent of the annual driven mileage is driven by someone who is over the retirement age, and you certainly fit into that.

If you want to really pile up the discounts, you can get AARP Hartford car insurance. You’ve probably already heard of AARP, which stands for the American Association of Retired People. They have their own car insurance policies, and normally if you get it through their program you can get as much as a twenty five percent discount. If you need more discount than that, then you can get it by adding your car insurance policy with them to your home owner’s insurance policy, or your life insurance policy as well. This gets you the multiple polices discount. AARP is good for seniors looking for reliable car insurance because it won’t cancel you unless you don’t pay, get a DUI, or get your license suspended. And even for those with a less than stellar driving record, AARP offers defensive driving classes which can help you get additional discounts.

Cheers,
