Your Medicare Annual Enrollment Checklist

Small changes to your policy and habits can add up to real savings. Start with these seven.
Auto insurance rates depend on your vehicle, driving record, location and coverage choices. Some of those you can't change, but several you can.
Compare quotes every year
Carriers price risk differently. Comparing quotes from several insurers at renewal is one of the simplest ways to find a lower rate for the same coverage.
Raise your deductible
A higher collision and comprehensive deductible lowers your premium. Make sure you could cover that amount if you needed to file a claim.
Bundle and ask about discounts
Many insurers discount policies when you combine auto with home or renters coverage. Ask about safe driver, good student, low mileage and paperless billing discounts too.
Review your coverage when your life changes: a new car, a move, or a teen driver can all affect your rate.
