4.      Profession - Insurance companies have conducted studies that show certain professions  have safer drivers. These professions are: educators, scientists, and engineers.

5.      Insuring multiple drivers - Companies refer to this as "multi-line" insurance and  will give you a better deal if you insure more than one family member with them. They're getting more business, so they give you a break.

6.      Insuring more than your vehicle - You will qualify for a multipolicy discount if you buy your auto, home and life insurance from the same insurance company.

7.      Assuming more risk - By changing your deductible from the standard $1,000 to $250 you could cut your premium by up to $677 per year.

8.      Clean driving record - If you've had no accidents or traffic tickets in the last three to five years, you will qualify for a safe driver discount.
