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.

Will I be able to keep my coverage while I am upgrading my high performance car’s security?

Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.

Car insurance companies often have very strict rules about the prices a secure car will get you, and if you want to get good rates on your collision coverage, then you need to have safety features installed. However, if you don’t, you can still get the collision coverage, but it will jut cost more. The same thing does not go with high performance car insurance coverage. While you can get your car insurance collision coverage just as easily, the comprehensive coverage is not the same way. Many car insurance companies will not even think about covering you with comprehensive until you have the right safety mechanisms on your car to protect against theft, and you cannot put this off. No features, no coverage, it doesn’t matter if you are installing them right now.

The types of alarms that the car insurance companies require are called active disabling alarms. While you can get something with bells and whistles, what they want is for you to have something that shuts down an integral part of the vehicle so that the thief is not able to start it even with his techniques. The device also needs to be constantly active, not activated by you.
