How Can I Save Money on Car Insurance?
Right now, we’re all looking to save a buck. Let’s be honest…everything is more expensive. A great way to save some cash could be by taking a driver safety class through the NDSC. NDSC courses can reduce monthly insurance premiums.
One of the most effective and often overlooked options to lower your insurance costs is completing a defensive driving course.
The North Dakota Safety Council’s defensive driving courses have been approved by the ND Insurance Department and could earn you up to a 10% reduction on your motor vehicle insurance premium. And not just on one vehicle, this discount can be applied to any vehicle you’re listed as the principal operator, including autos, trucks, recreation vehicles, and motorcycles.
Can a Defensive Driving Course Lower My Car Insurance?
Yes, it can. Many auto insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who complete an approved defensive driving course. While discounts vary by insurer and state, the goal is the same: rewarding drivers who invest in promoting their driving skills and reducing their crash risk.
Before enrolling in one of our defensive driving courses, contact your insurance provider to ask:
- Do you offer discounts for completing a defensive driving course?
- Which courses qualify?
- How long will the discount remain on my policy?
- What documentation do you need after I complete the course?
Are Defensive Driving Courses Only for New Drivers?
No. Defensive driving courses benefit drivers of all ages and experience levels. Even experienced drivers can refresh their skills, learn updated safety practices, and potentially qualify for insurance discounts.
The North Dakota Safety Council offers defensive driving courses for adults as well as teens. Courses are offered in-person throughout North Dakota, online, and through distance-learning to help build lifelong safe driving habits.
