As drivers turn 65, various strategies can help them lower their car insurance rates, including taking a defensive driving course and bundling policies. Geico offers reliable coverage with affordable rates and exceptional customer service – one such company may be best.
Nationwide’s SmartMiles pay-per-mile program and AARP membership may provide extra help after an accident, including transportation assistance, cleaning assistance, and dog walking services.

Travelers
Travelers provides competitive rates to seniors searching for full coverage car insurance. Their customer service and claims handling have received top marks from J.D. Power and AM Best, with guaranteed policy renewal and various discounts for senior drivers completing defensive driving courses or being accident free being given priority consideration.
Bundling both your auto and home insurance with Travelers could save you money. Plus, with IntelliDriveR, they provide an app that tracks driving habits to reduce your premium at renewal time.
USAA
USAA stands out as an outstanding car insurance choice for seniors because it provides discounts and benefits to current and former military members, scores highly in J.D. Power auto claims satisfaction surveys, and is straightforward and user-friendly.
USAA provides various coverage options, including 100/300/100 liability coverage and offers drivers savings through its Deductible Rewards program. Telematics policies that track driving habits also enable USAA customers to reduce premiums by remaining safe behind the wheel and avoiding accidents.
Esurance
As drivers age, their auto insurance premiums can skyrocket. But don’t despair; there are ways to keep rates at an acceptable level.
One way is to take a safe driving course and qualify for a discount, while increasing your deductible may help lower rates.
Geico, USAA and Esurance are some of the premier car insurers for seniors, offering affordable premiums with high customer satisfaction ratings. Amica and Nationwide also provide good rates. Furthermore, some provide additional policy benefits like roadside assistance or rental car coverage.
Progressive
Progressive offers competitive premiums and discounts that meet customer needs, an online payment option and mobile apps for payments, its Snapshot program tailors rates to the driver, but has low customer satisfaction scores in J.D. Power auto and home insurance surveys.
Progressive offers various types of coverages, including personal injury protection and uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage. Furthermore, Progressive offers small accident forgiveness – which prevents rate increases for drivers involved in one minor at-fault accident.
Mercury
Mercury rates tend to be higher for younger drivers but decrease for drivers in their fifties. They offer several discounts such as pay-in-full discounts, good driver discounts and autopay discounts that could further bring costs down.
Like most car insurers, Mercury’s rates increase following an accident – although their increase may not be as dramatic than others. Mercury rates tend to be higher for drivers with poor credit; their premiums are typically lowest when applied by drivers with excellent scores.

Their comprehensive coverage includes collision, roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement as well as rental car reimbursement – not forgetting Geico’s deductible reward program which reduces collision deductibles each year without an accident!

They earned high marks from WalletHub’s customer service rankings as well as offering an impressive variety of policy add-ons.
