There are always ways, Bethany.
If you are a student, you can always avail of discounts for auto insurance by availing for student discounts which are given to students which have at least a B in school. If you are not a full time student any more, some insurance companies offer auto insurance discounts to continuing education students and also to those who are taking defensive driving lessons.
It can also help you if you drive less. People who have auto insurance policies but drive their car less are less likely to have an accident. There are some auto insurance companies that check your odometer every year and you can get a considerable discount if your mileage stays below a certain amount, say 6,000 driving miles. So you can start thinking of carpooling or taking public transportation or ride your bicycle to save on car insurance premiums.
It might sound new to you, because it did to me the first time, but having a good credit history will result to a lower auto insurance premium in New Mexico. There is apparently a correlation between driving records and credit history. Considerably, people with bad credit are seen as less conscientious or less stable and can also be high risk drivers. By having stellar credit histories, you can also enjoy lower insurance premiums!
