Switching services? Ask this to save $$$

You can save $100s on services by switching to companies with cheaper rates. And to keep even more cash in your wallet, savings pros recommend asking some important questions

“Which discounts do you offer on car insurance?”

In a new CarInsurance.com survey, 29% of drivers who compared rates in the past year saved 15% on their policy, and 26% saved 10%. One reason: Each company offers different discounts that can lower your bill. But to get them, you’ve got to ask which they offer and alert them if you’re eligible to receive them. “While state laws mandate some discounts, you must request others by notifying your insurance company that you qualify,” states Laura Longero, executive editor and insurance expert for CarInsurance.com. For example, if they say they offer discounts due to age, retirement status or driving under a certain number of miles each year, let them know if you meet those requirements.

Tip!

Switching pharmacies? Ask which discount cards (like GoodRx or SingleCare) they accept, and how much your Rx will cost with them, as savings can vary from pharmacy to pharmacy
