There are a lot of ways to save tons of money on your chea high performance car insurance premium, but many people do not know about these great options, or are simply too lazy or think they are too busy to take advantage of them. Don’t trick yourself into thinking that saving money on your high performance car insurance premium is something that is so difficult and time consuming, because it isn’t. All it takes is a few minutes of your time and a dedication to keeping what is in your wallet where it is.

One of the greatest ways to get good prices on your high performance auto insurance coverage is to take a defensive driving class, and this only takes up a little of your time. Remember, saving on your high performance auto insurance premium is great, but it isn’t a dire emergency. You can take one of these classes over a period of days, or of weeks, or of a couple months. It all depends on your schedule, because the ways to take them are so flexible that you can be flexible, too.

  • DANGER defensive driving course.

This is a course that is offered to young people who have already taken a driving course and gotten their licenses. It is not a regular defensive driving program, but instead it is a touring one, headed by a famous race car driver whose intent is to teach young people, who have the highest likelihood to die in a car accident, how to drive safely and interact with the other vehicles on the road. This course costs about $75 for two weeks, a couple of days a week.

  • AARP Hartford defensive driving program.

Not only can you get your cheap car insurance as a member of AARP, but even non members are allowed to take advanatge of their defensive driving course which can get you discounts on your cheap high performance auto insurance premium. This class generally takes a few weeks, and if you are an AARP member then you can get it at a discounted rate.

  • Blockbuster defensive driving course.

You might be looking at all of the options above and say, but I’m still too busy. I don’t have time to take a class outside of the home. Well, that’s why the options are so extensive, so that the busy modern business person is able to meet their car insurance needs. Most video rental stores will rent you a defensive driving video or you could just buy one yourself for ten bucks from a convenience store. They’re everywhere, and they are okayed by your state and your high performance car insurance company.

Another benefit from these is that they can also often wipe a speeding or no insurance ticket off of your record, even a DUI in some cases. So not only will these get you a defensive driving car insurance discount, but they will also clean up your record, helping you to qualify for a good driver car insurance discount. So what are you waiting for?

Reader question:

I have a great car but it has a dent on it now, which I found when I came out of the store. Should I make a high performance car insurance claim?

Michael

I’m glad you asked, Michael.

You know, I think that one of the reasons that people can’t get cheap high performance car insurance is because they are too worry some about their vehicles. Now, don’t get me wrong. Most high performance cars are expensive, and thus even the smallest scratch could cost more money than usual to fix. However, you should not compensate for your worry for your vehicle by making a high performance car insurance claim for every little thing that happens. Even if it is something that will cost money to fix, that does not mean that your car insurance company will need to know.

The way I see it is that if something is under your deductible or you are otherwise able to afford to pay for the damages, then most of the time there is no reason to contact your high performance car insurance company unless you are a hundred percent sure that this would not put your clean auto insurance claim record in jeapordy. The reason I say this is, even though auto insurance companies want you to report all accidents in good faith even if you don’t file a high performance auto insurance claim for them, and they won’t punish you after the first couple, once you start a list then you will begin to see that they don’t think you are as good a customer as they thought you were before.

There are some guidelines that you should go by when deciding whether or not to report your high performance auto insurance accident to your company, and I’ll give you a list following this. You should think about these before you decide to call up and advise your company of your dent, although there are always going to be more factors and these should not be the deciding ones for your situation. Here they are.

  • Can I pay for this?

This is the number one primary thing that you should consider. I got a dent in my car, too, recently, but I didn’t bother to call up my vehicle insurance company. It will probably cost me around fifty dollars to get fixed, which is five percent of my auto insurance deductible, so it doesn’t make any sense to report it. I can just wait and be lazy and go get it fixed when I’m ready, instead of having to worry about the long problems making a claim with my auto insurance collision coverage.

  • Am I alone in this?

Another thing that will obviously play a huge role in you reporting your little accident to your high performance car insurance company is whether or not someone else is involved. If someone else is involved in the accident, then go no further. REPORT IT. I really don’t think there should be exceptions to this guideline, because even if the other person says they are okay and there is no need to report it and claim, that does not mean that it is true.

I’m not saying that the other person is lying, but I am saying that the evidence of damage may not be apparent right away after you get into an accident. The other person might start to feel back pains later that night, or might notice their vehicle making weird noises on the way home. One time I barely nicked a guy, and although there was no outer damage to my car, it wouldn’t start! You never know what will happen. If you get into an accident involving another party, report it.
