The biggest thing you can do to keep your automobile insurance rates their lowest is to drive safely and legally. By that I mean no speeding or other moving violations and definitely no DUIs or DWIs. Even one DUI or DWI conviction and you can kiss cheap automobile insurance rates good-bye for at least 3 years ? a second such conviction and you'll be tossed in the deep end of the high-risk insurance pool without a snorkel.

Do you have other insurance policies ? such as a life insurance policy, or a homeowner's policy or a health insurance policy ? with the same insurance company? If so ask about a Multi-Policy Discount on your monthly premium.

Have you been with the same insurance company for a while now? If it's been 5 years or longer it's time you asked about a Long-Term-Policy Discount.

Do you drive fewer than 500 miles a month on average? If you do then there's no reason for you to pay full price for your automobile insurance ? ask your agent about a Low-Mileage Discount.

Do you keep your car in a garage at night? If so you could get a really nice discount; talk to your agent.

If you've added any anti-theft devices to your car you need to ask your agent if any of them help to reduce your monthly automobile insurance premium.

If you're under 25 you know how expensive your monthly premium is. You can trim it by about 5% if you stay in school and can maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. You should talk to your agent about a Good Student Discount.

Do you drive an older car? A junker? If your automobile no longer has any Kelly Blue Book value then you'd be a fool to continue paying for collision or comprehensive insurance since your insurance company will max-out any payment to you at the Kelly Blue Book value of your vehicle.

Are you an older driver, say 55 or older? If so you have probably noticed your premium edging upward. You can give it a sharp jolt back down if you take ? and pass ? a special driver's refresher course. Unfortunately not every insurance company offers this discount so you'll have to check around.
