Example: If your yearly insurance is $1200 - a 10% discount* would be $120 x 3 years = $360 SAVINGS -- Not a bad return for a 6 hour online course.

NOTE:
Check with your insurance agent to confirm that your insurance co. will provide a discount on your automobile insurance before you take a class for that purpose.
If your insurance company has decided to provide a discount on the liability portion of your automobile insurance for completing a driving safety class, the discount will normally be provided regardless of the reason that you took the course. In other words, whether you take a driving safety course for education, insurance discount, or for ticket dismissal, your insurance company will normally give you the same discount. It is the same 10 percent that a teenager might receive for successfully completing a driver education class, and the 2 discounts are not piggybacked; that is, most insurance companies won't give you a 20% discount for completing both courses. However, a 15 percent discount may be acquired (see www.tea.state.tx.us/drive/dadapfaq1.html).
