Why State Farm Offers a Good Student Discount

Young drivers are usually quite expensive to insure since they lack driving experience. However, State Farm offers a good student discount because having good grades shows the insurer that you are responsible off the road, meaning you’re more likely to be responsible in the driver’s seat as well.

State Farm good student discounts vary by state, but it’s always worth the effort of checking if they are available in your location. Check out WalletHub's guide for more information on State Farm discounts.

Provide odometer information to a State Farm agent, who will call to verify the reading. Agents call to verify odometer information when it’s time to renew a policy, and sometimes mid-term.

Confirm your low mileage discount is being applied to your bill. It will last as long as you continue to drive fewer than 7,500 miles annually.

How State Farm Verifies Low Mileage

To verify a customer meets the annual mileage requirement, a State Farm agent will contact the customer to collect their odometer information for the past year. State Farm will then continue to contact the customer periodically to collect the car’s odometer readings. If those readings show the customer has increased their driving to more than 7,500 miles per year, they will lose the discount.
