When drivers review their policy; they get the chance to review some of the charges that may appear excessive.
Most drivers feel the urge to review their policy upon renewal. At this time many drivers consult their agent/broker for professional advice to review their policy to help identify any inaccuracies, changes or discounts. A review of ones' car insurance policy assures that the coverage one has is indeed at a price that is fair.
Noticing an increase in premium is the best place to start ones review. An auto insurance policy shows dollar amounts for claim limits as well as other limitations, each one having a significant impact on ones premium.
Commuting usage indicates how a driver uses each car on the policy, and pleasure use indicates drivers who are not using their vehicle for work purposes (business use). A rate may be affected by the designation of commuting use as opposed to pleasure use, so it is a good place to look for potential savings. The number of miles used for commuting is an important factor as well.
Insurance companies offer significant discounts for a variety of reasons in addition to good driver status. It is important for a driver to review their policy to see that discounts are properly indicated, and review discounts to verify if there are other ways to save.

An older car may not need full coverage as its value lessens with age, and eliminating extra coverage on it may produce savings. Before making any change, a driver should ask their agent to point out the consequences of making a change on any aspect of their auto policy.
