insurance-1As drivers, we live in a very unique time.  Cars are more expensive — it seems like the cost of most cars these days could easily equal out to the yearly tuition at a solid college.  Car insurance is increasingly more expensive as well; if you want full coverage, you have to be prepared to pay out the nose for it.  At the same time, however, there are more and more car insurance companies just clamoring for your business.  They court you with cute commercials featuring talking Geckos, charming cartoons featuring an animated hottie, and dramatic scenarios to let you know they will always be on your side.

Courting is great, but in this case, you might have to bring your own flowers and your own box of chocolates.  Meaning, you have to ferret out the deals available to you.  A lot of drivers are not aware that the safety measures they take can save them money.

You see, a lot of car insurance companies will offer discounts to drivers who have safety devices on their cars — airbags, anti lock brakes, which typically come standard on most new cars.  Furthermore, if you have ever taken a safe driving course, that can save you money as well.
