    📎 [2/24/24] FROM ARTICLE AND ADVICE I AM FOLLOWING:

     

    (1) Go high-maintenance. “It’s a lot less expensive and easier to maintain a vehicle than it is to repair a vehicle,” says David Bennett, senior automotive manager at AAA.

     

    (2) Ask for a low-mileage discount. If you’ve recently retired or shifted to working from home, your driving mileage may have dramatically decreased, which can lower premiums.

    Being an AARP member, I had already read this article. A few good ideas.

     

    My insurance company doesn't have a low mileage discount but has a plethora of other discounts of which I take advantage.

    Don't celebrate too quickly, @SummerOnTheWay1. The Insurance Industry in N.C. asked for a 42% increase in homeowner's insurance. Of course, the N.C. Insurance Commissioner turned it down.
