If You Drive Less Than 70
Miles a Day: There's a Smarter Way to Lower Your Car Insurance Bill

If you drive fewer than 70 miles a day, and have a clean record — you may qualify for a significant
discount on your auto insurance. And if you haven't had a ticket in three or more years, that savings
could be even larger.
Auto insurance rates across the U.S. have been climbing steadily. Inflation, rising repair costs, and
more accidents on the road have pushed premiums higher — even for careful, low-mileage drivers. For years,
comparing quotes meant jumping between a dozen different websites and re-entering your information every
time.
Are You Leaving Money on the
Table?
Consider Tom and Carol, a couple who recently cut back on driving as they eased into retirement. Despite
no tickets or accidents in years, their premiums kept rising. When a financial advisor asked when they'd
last shopped for a new rate, they realized it had been nearly a decade.
They had assumed their long-time insurer would reward their loyalty and lower mileage automatically. What
they discovered instead is something most drivers don't know: insurance companies rarely volunteer
lower rates — you have to go find them.
