What an older Ohioan needs to know when buying
Senior discounts!
A senior driver (typically ages 55-70) may be eligible for
discounts. However, as the age increases, the possibility
of serious accidents also increases, which might eventually
eliminate some discounts.
A senior driver may be able to take advantage of
several discounts:
Honing those skills!
Consider taking a senior driving refresher course such as
AARP’s “55 Alive” or a program run by
the National Institute of Highway Safety or American Automobile
Association (AAA). Successful participation in these programs
may help you qualify for a discount.
Protecting what is yours!
Your net worth may still be growing, or is at its highest
at this stage of your life. Therefore, it might make sense
for you to purchase an “umbrella policy,” which
will increase your personal liability coverage, including
your auto liability coverage. Many seniors obtain up to
$1 million of this coverage in order to better protect
their assets.
