Carpooling car insurance discount
Some people prefer to spend their commute either in the silence of their own vehicle or immersed in the music from their radio, which covers up their cracking singing voice. However, one thing these people are missing is the possibility of a car insurance discount that could save them a bit of money if they were only willing to sacrifice a bit of alone time. In line with car insurance companies desire for their policy holders to drive less and more safely, the use of other means of travel than your own car covered by your policy could not only get you a unique discount, but could get you some collateral discount as well.
Quite a few car insurance companies on the market are now offering a special discount for people who choose to use public transportation or car pool on their way to work instead of driving their car. The reason for this not only stems from the fact that the more you drive, the more chance you have to get into a car accident, but also from the road conditions and traffic stress that usually come with driving to work and can increase chances of getting into a collision, even among good drivers. Another great thing about this car insurance discount is that if you follow it faithfully, you might qualify for a low mileage discount as well, which most companies will give you if you travel less than five thousand miles a year in your car.
