We've also checked the companies that offer discounts through our insurance agent. On vacation, we found our best car rental price through them, plus a free upgrade!

My husband got a discount a Super 8 once just because he's pastor! <br /><br />Also, ASK YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY for a group discount! Seriously, they offer discounts for being a college grad, for being a member of a credit union, for being a Sam's club member...crazy group discounts! You can save 3-10% on your insurance.
