Low Mileage Car Insurance Discounts?

The low mileage discount is one of the harder Florida auto insurance discount picks to achieve. The reason for this is because, in Florida, where the communities are more often broadly laid out than tightly packed together, having a car can be necessary. Coming from Houston myself, I can understand this. However, it is definitely possible to get the low mileage Florida auto insurance discount without giving up your mobility.

The number one way to get your yearly mileage under that five thousand mile mark is to start hitching rides with friends and co workers. I’ve been doing this a lot since my car recently broke down and have found that it’s easier than you think. And even though you might not be able to walk all the way to work, there are plenty of places that you can walk, such as the grocery store (if you’re just picking up a couple of things) or the convenient store. It may take a good twenty minutes to get there, but it’s cheap and healthy. I regularly walk to pick up things such as movies from the local Krogers and toilet paper. If you live in a safe area, this is a great option.

Another way is to take advantage of park and rides if you live near a city, and the general bus system if you live right in one. Park and rides are great for people who live out in the suburbs, because they allow you to drive your vehicle the short distance to them and then hop a bus for the rest of your commute.
