Here are four ways you may be able to reduce your auto insurance premium during the COVID-19 pandemic.                                        

Low Mileage

Customers that were previously unable to may now be able to qualify for lower mileage discounts, due to stay-at-home orders or remote work.           

Self Storage

If a car is safely stored with no intention of driving it and you do not have a loan on your vehicle, you can decrease or pause coverage on your vehicle.           

Refunds & Rebates

For the months April through June, most auto insurances distributed refunds and rebates. Although these have begun to stop, it still doesn’t hurt to check in with your carrier.
