Car insurance discounts that military members can claim

The good news, if you’re a veteran or active duty military member – including National Guard numbers and Reservists – is that you can likely save significant dollars on car insurance. That’s because many carriers market heavily to folks like you and offer discounts in deference to your military service. But available military auto insurance discounts and cost-saving opportunities can vary widely from insurer to insurer.

That begs several questions: What’s a real military car insurance discount versus a marketing gimmick that doesn’t yield substantial savings? What are the cheapest military auto insurance companies when it comes to premiums, after discounts are taken into consideration? And how can you find the best insurance rates overall? Read my first article for new client The Military Wallet, available here, for helpful answers to these questions.
