The Auto Insurance Tool Box: Top Tips for Beginner Drivers [infographic]

Learning to drive is a major accomplishment, but passing your driver’s test isn’t the only feat you’ll need to achieve before you hit the open road – you’ll also need to secure auto insurance to protect yourself, your vehicle, and other drivers.

Here at LaVaughn Rodgers Insurance, we love helping our customers get the insurance coverage they need, and assisting new drivers with their auto insurance is something we’re extremely familiar with. We want you to have all the tools you’ll need to hit the road with confidence, so check out these top tips from our auto insurance toolbox:

• Comparing Quotes: The Tape Measure – The adage of “measure twice, cut once” applies to auto insurance. Comparing quotes from different companies and measuring their value before you choose one will help ensure you get the coverage you need at a price you can afford.
• Asking Questions: The Flashlight – Don’t be afraid to seek out illumination when you need it! Our team is happy to answer your questions and provide all the information you need to make a decision with confidence, shedding light on everything from how deductibles work to filing a claim.
• Annual Policy Review: The Level – To keep your auto insurance policy straight, you’ll need to review your policy and make sure it stays aligned with your changing needs. We recommend scheduling an annual policy review with our team to ensure everything is balanced.
• Consider Bundling: The Zip Tie – Many insurance providers offer discounts and other perks if you bundle multiple policies, so consider looking into other policies as well as auto insurance.
• Maintain a Good Record: The Hammer – The same way a hammer allows you to pound nails and make progress with a project, maintaining a good driving record sets a solid foundation for taking strides towards lower insurance premiums and other advantages.
• Ongoing Education: The User Manual – Did you know that some auto insurance providers offer discounts for attending driver education classes? Consider taking a course for defensive driving or something similar that will not only improve your skills behind the wheel, but also potentially offer some sweet discounts.

Building and maintaining your auto insurance toolbox is an important part of being a responsible driver, and our team is here to help. Reach out today to learn more about how we can help you assemble all the auto insurance tools you need.
