“Drivers that install safety devices in their vehicles will pay lower insurance rates. However, before installing any safety devices, drivers should call their insurers to check what devices are approved.”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
April 12, 2021

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several safety devices that will help drivers obtain cheaper car insurance rates.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/safety-devices-that-lower-car-insurance-rates/

Drivers that are looking to purchase car insurance, should ensure that they will get a policy that offers lots of protection for a small price. Although for many this sounds hard to achieve, there are several methods to obtain lower premiums. For example, drivers that install several safety devices in their vehicles will pay less on their insurance.

Drivers can save car insurance money with the help of the next safety devices:

• Rear-view cameras. Drivers that install a rear-view camera on their vehicles will be able to watch on a monitor how they back up and see if there are any obstacles behind the vehicle.
• GPS systems. Usually, a GPS system is used to guide people to go from one location to another. However, these systems can work a little differently. Many drivers are using GPS tracking systems. These tracking devices are installed in hidden locations so that the thieves will have a hard time finding them. With the help of these systems, car owners will always know where are their vehicles. If a car fitted with such a device gets stolen, then the authorities will have no troubles to recover the vehicle. For this reason, the insurers will offer a generous discount to drivers that have GPS-based tracking systems in their vehicles.
• Anti-theft devices. There are many aftermarket anti-theft devices that drivers can install in their vehicles. Kill switches, alarm systems, armored collars, and other anti-theft devices can help drivers pay lower insurance rates.
• Airbags. Although airbags are a standard feature for all new vehicles, some older vehicles are not equipped with airbags. Drivers should ensure that their cars have airbags installed in order to take advantage of a discount.

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)
April 12, 2021

2021 marks Avemco Insurance Company’s 60th year as the only direct writer of aircraft insurance in the United States.

Since its founding in 1961, Avemco has grown to become one of the most widely recognized aviation insurers in the country serving the private pilot community. Today, it has a financial strength rating of “A++ (Superior)” from A.M. Best, a leading credit rating agency focused on the insurance industry.

Avemco was founded in Montgomery County, Maryland, as the Aviation Employees Corporation. Later renamed Avemco Insurance Company, the organization relocated to Frederick, Maryland, in 1982. Avemco has maintained its national headquarters in Frederick, ever since despite several changes in corporate leadership, including the acquisition by Tokio Marine HCC in 1997. Initially, the company’s offices overlooked the runways at Frederick Municipal Airport, before relocating to its current location at 8490 Progress Drive.

Since its founding, Avemco has maintained its focus of insuring the pilots and operators of General Aviation aircraft, specializing in liability and physical damage coverage for single- and multi-engine piston-powered land and seaplanes, gliders, experimental aircraft, instructors, and flying clubs. The company has generated a loyal following among its policyholders with more than 50% insured for five years or longer. Dozens of customers have been Avemco policyholders for as long as 40 continuous years. The company has also retained a loyal base of employees, some of whom have been with the company for more than 40 years.

Over the years, many aviation luminaries and retired U.S. Air Force generals have served on Avemco’s Board of Directors, including a retired NASA astronaut.

Avemco is recognized as a leader in the aviation industry for its commitment to encouraging pilot safety. The company sponsors safety webinars, in-person seminars, and other educational series designed to raise awareness of how pilots can protect themselves and their families by flying safely. Among Avemco’s initiatives is the support of the FAA’s WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program. The company also regularly publishes safety articles by noted certified flying instructors (CFIs), aviation experts, and Avemco staff.
