- Both air bags and anti-lock brakes can reduce insurance payments, but often
- not by very much. I've found that the largest reduction in my insurance
- was for being a "good student." The 16-25 age bracket has the highest
- insurance rates (because they have the highest accident rate) but proving
- that you're a full-time student (even grad) and doing well helps. I'm
- not sure about private parking (don't think anyone ever asked) and multi-
- car discounts may or may not be meaningful.
