You can lower your premium by having your deductibles on the higher side. Hold multiple insurance policies with the same carrier; you can shop around asking for discounts on your current policy.
• For older vehicles with high mileage, purchasing a collision coverage is generally not worth it. If you ever file a claim for significant damages, your insurance company will likely declare your vehicle a total loss rather than fix it. Reasons being that the cost of fixing your vehicle far exceeds its market value. The premium you will pay for collision coverage may not justify the value for older vehicles in a case for total loss.
