AARP Online Driving Course for $5 - Save $ off insurance - YMMV

Hmm.,,,can't seem to access course on iPad....looks like I gotta use laptop....ugh

For me $34/year for 3 years discount on a $1k/year policy (NJ).

Quote from hnynhny : $6 per month ?

Same question or $6 per year or $6 per half year.

i don't have a car , hence no insurance.. Will this work for me?

Anyone have a definitive answer as to if you need to be 55+ to benefit from this? (Financially)

Totally awesome SD! I have been putting off taking this online safety course ( I took it as a class at the Library a few years ago) and it usually costs 24.95$ from the other companies that offer it... saved 20$ as well as the savings on my premiums for three years! BTW, I am in NY and the charge was only 5$ ...the discount code takes off 22.95 from the 19.95 regular fee! Repped OP!

Whose done the course? Any good? Is there a test or does one just watch videos? I've not done one online.

Super deal. FP!

Quote from ralphsdog : I just called me insurance to ask how much the discount was, they said $6. Not worth it.

Six dollars for every 6 months? For how long as well? 2 x 3yrs x $6 = 36 bucks. 3 yrs because that's how long it says it is good for. Oh wait, I forgot already... LOL

Though it has utah in the mandatory lost, statefarm's discounts list does not have any info about this

I took it in person about 8 years ago....I assume the online course is not much different. There are several videos, and you do take a quiz/test at the end....but you can't fail....

Plus doing it online you can break it up at your convenience....when I took it in person it took up my whole Saturday

Back in my day we didn't have this dadblamed interweb driving course nonsense. We just cranked up the Model T and headed into town for provisions every 3 months like the rest of 'em. Damn kids get off my yard.

Course is pretty painful to sit through. It's timed to meet the course length requirement, and seems to take longer unless you can click "next" right when it becomes available. But when they put up a simple slide that takes 10 seconds to read but force you to look at it for much longer, it's hard to sit there waiting for the "next" to become available. I feel I could learn the same content in much, much less time. But I understand why they do that.

In the end, I'm not sure it was worth the small discount received on car insurance from taking it.
