You can get car insurance discounts in New Jersey based on how you drive, the car you own, and your relationship with your insurance company. In New Jersey, car insurance companies are allowed to consider factors like employment, residential, and marital status when setting premiums. That means there are also discounts available for being married, owning a home, or being affiliated with certain employers or educational institutions.
Geico is so cheap because it sells insurance directly to consumers and offers a lot of discounts. Direct-to-consumer insurance sales eliminate the cost of middlemen and allow Geico to have significantly fewer local offices and agents than companies like State Farm and Allstate. Having a smaller agent network lowers Geico’s overhead costs, so they can pass those savings on to consumers.
