College Parenting 101: How To Save Money on Student Auto Insurance

What is the most important car insurance coverage available and needed for your college student driver?
It is really a loaded question. Of course, the most important car insurance coverage is the one you need at the time of loss. At Wheat State Insurance Group, we can help you decide what coverages you might need for your student that will give you peace of mind and potentially save you money.
We can help you with a variety of potential discounts designed to help parents curtail the costs of auto insurance. Among the many that are worth exploring to see which suits your family’s needs best include:
1. Student Away from Home Discount: Do you have a student attending college in another city or state? If you do and their vehicle is still at home, you can qualify for a discount. Paying less on the premium you are paying for listing them on your policy while they are not driving as much when at college can be a huge money-saver!
2. Good Student Discount: Many carriers offer a discount for your student’s good grades. Depending on what their GPA is, you can have bragging rights AND save money on your child’s insurance premiums.
3. Safety Course Discount: If your student has successfully completed a safety course, you could qualify for a discount once the certification has been given to us. Those driver’s ed courses can pay off financially for you and your child!
At Wheat State, we want to make sure that you and your student are getting all of the available discounts that you may be eligible for. We want you to be familiar with your auto insurance coverage for you and your student and we believe you shouldn’t have to pay too much for insurance. Give us a call before your student heads to their new learning adventures and see if we can help you save some money!
