How can knowing my mileage save me money?
- Lower miles, lower premiums
In general, higher miles could mean higher insurance premiums. Having a good estimate of how far your four wheels will take you can help you find the best insurance deal. You don’t want to overestimate too much, else you may find you’re paying more. - Better budgeting
Having an idea of your mileage will also help you to budget for your yearly fuel costs. The price of fuel can go up or down - but knowing how many miles you’re likely to drive can help you plan ahead. - Timely troubleshooting
Knowing your average annual mileage could help you spot issues with your car before they get too bad (and more expensive to fix). If you’re driving the same number of miles but find yourself topping up more often, it might be time for a trip to the mechanic.
