Why this raises your rate
Drivers 55+ are among the lowest-risk groups, so most carriers discount them — until the late 70s, when rates tick back up. Carriers with strong mature-driver programs (and the AARP-partnered Hartford) tend to be cheapest for seniors.
How to pay less
- Ask about mature-driver / defensive-driving course discounts — many states mandate them.
- Low-mileage or pay-per-mile pricing fits retirees who drive less.
- AARP members should compare The Hartford's program.
- Re-evaluate coverage as your car ages — you may be able to drop collision.
