Student Discounts on Car Insurance For Kentucky College Students?
Q: I was sad when college ended a few months ago, but I also felt a pang to see my good student discount go. I had twenty percent of a discount on my car insurance for that, and once it was gone my premium went up a few hundred dollars in total. Is there something out there which is equal in savings I can replace it with?
A: Maybe there is, but it depends on what you were studying so hard on to get that good student discount for your car insurance policy. If you were working on a degree in the field of science or mathematics, particularly in engineering, then your looking at a savings from some companies simply for that. Although this discount is still not widespread, it is taking hold in the car insurance industry, as many studies have found that people in the above fields are more meticulous and pay attention o detail, and, the kicker, file fewer car insurance claims.
If you don’t have one of these degrees, or even if you do and decided to go into the field of teaching, you can get another discount by joining a teacher’s union. Of course, unions do have membership fees, but it will be like getting free union membership because your discount will be around the amount of the fees, and you probably would have joined the union anyway.
1. Raise your deductible amount to as high as you feel comfortable – this can drastically reduce your annual premiums
2. Join a credit union or bank affiliate that offers insurance discounts – even Sam’s club and Costco offer discounts these days
