Tips to save on car insurance after a traffic violation
Try these tips to save on car insurance after a traffic ticket:
- Shop around. Insurance companies view speeding tickets (or any traffic ticket) differently, so compare rates to find a better price. It's worth shopping around even if your insurance company didn't increase your rates too much.
- Take a defensive driving course. Many insurance companies offer a discount for taking a course that improves your driving skills.
- Sign up for a usage-based program. You can earn a discount for proving your good driving habits while you work towards a clean driving record..
- Bundle your insurance. When you buy your home and auto insurance together, you'll get a discount on both.
- Ask about other discounts. You won't qualify for a good driver discount with a speeding ticket on your driving record, but you can still earn other discounts, like paperless billing or good student. Ask your insurance company what's available.
