Do you want to save 10% on your car insurance premiums? Call your insurance company or agent and see if they offer discounts for taking mature driver, defensive driving, or refresher classes. Many of these courses can be taken online through websites like safe2drive.com.

On this website, you can click on your state to see which courses and discounts are offered to make sure that the courses are those approved by your insurance company. The course that I selected takes a total of six hours, but it doesn’t have to be completed in one sitting. You can log out and log back in using your use id and password that you create. And, you don’t have to pay until you are finished. The cost is quite reasonable. I paid a mere $14.95!

If you enjoy getting out and meeting new people by taking a class, or if you like the opportunity to interact with an instructor in person when you have a question, classes are also offered at local venues through AARP and other organizations. It’s also a great way to refresh your memory on driver safety if you’re helping a grandchild study for his or her driver’s license exam. Whichever route you decide to take, it’s a small investment of time and money for significant long-term savings.
