* Multi-car discount - Many insurers will give you a 10 to 15 percent discount if you have two or more cars and insure them with them.

* Safety and security discount - You can get a sizeable discount if you have safety and security devices installed in your car such as burglar alarms, anti-theft devices, air bags, and anti-lock brakes.

* Driver's education discount - You can get a discount with many insurers if you've taken a driver's ed course or a defensive driving course.

* Low mileage discount - You can get a discount if you drive less than the norm, especially if you drive less than 5,000 miles a year.

* Miscellaneous discounts - Different companies offer discounts for a variety of reasons - having a good driving record, being a senior, housing your car in a garage, not having filed claims, etc. Ask your agent about any discounts you may be eligible for before you buy an auto insurance policy.
