Insider Tips to Cut Auto Insurance Rates for You and Your Teen
Laura interviews Leslie Kasperowicz, an insurance expert from AutoInsurance.org, about insider tips that individuals and families can use today to save money on auto insurance. Find out many often-overlooked discounts and strategies to reduce your auto premium without sacrificing the quality of your coverage.
Insurance is a critical part of a healthy financial life. Some types of coverage are optional, such as life and disability insurance. But other types, such as auto and homeowners, are required by law or by your lender.
While every driver must have some amount of auto insurance, you shouldn’t put your policy on autopilot! If you don’t regularly shop and compare rates and take advantage of discounts, you’re probably overpaying to insure your new or used car.

I interviewed Leslie Kasperowicz, an insurance expert and managing editor with AutoInsurance.org, for tips on how individuals and families can save money on auto insurance. Unfortunately, if you have a teen driver, the cost of adding them to your policy may be shockingly high.
Leslie spent several years with a top insurance carrier, working directly with customers. For more than a decade, she’s been an insurance writer, with articles and data studies featured in major publications, including Reader’s Digest, Fox Business, and the Washington Post.
