New York Student Car Insurance

Finding inexpensive Student Car Insurance is a complicated affair but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. The internet has now made it a whole lot easier to find information about Student Car Insurance policies online, to find information on specific companies, and to eventually receive a good Student Car Insurance quote. In the past, students have sometimes had a hard time getting car insurance, as they were perceived as a high risk by some insurance companies.

·          Good grades, better rates. Students with a “B” average or higher are considered lower risk drivers. Earn a substantial car insurance discount just by presenting a copy of your report card.

·          Students who live close to campus and do not drive much are often eligible for low-mileage discounts. Participants in “Driver's Training Program” classes on auto insurance may also qualify for discounts.

·          Drive an older car. Cars that are made out of steel are far cheaper to fix than sports cars made out of fiberglass. The rate of injury and theft is also lower in an Escort than a hot rod.

·          Maintain good credit. Pay all of your bills on time so that your credit score is strong. Automobile companies look at your credit history because they believe there is a significant correlation between good credit and good driving habits - and vice versa.

·          Strive for a good driving record. The money you save from fines and higher insurance rates is worth the “slow poke” label you may get from fool-hearted friends. Also, if you can find a driver's education course, take the class, and let your insurance company know about it.

·          Membership has its privileges. Let your insurance company know about any memberships in clubs or organizations. For example AAA members can get discounted rates by purchasing auto insurance through AAA's insurance partnership with American Insurance Group (AIG).

·          Drive on mom and dad's policy for as long possible. Students who get their own policy pay more because they are listed as a “primary” driver, placing them in a higher risk pool. But, if you stay on your family's policy and list yourself as a "secondary" driver on a car, you get the price break.

·          Higher deductibles, lower premiums. But make sure you carry the state-required minimums for legal operation of your car and that you carry enough insurance to adequately protect you if the worst-case scenario happens.

·          If you work while going to school and are close to home, you can save money on car insurance if you work within three miles of home and primarily use your car to go to and from the workplace.
