Hello Martin. Yes, it is definitely possible for your father to get discounts for being a senior citizen and still having to pay for car insurance. Admittedly, it will not be that easy at first since most car insurance providers view senior citizen drivers as having a bigger risk in getting involved in car accidents. This is due to the physical effects of aging slowing down their reflexes and how quickly they can see (poorer eyesight) and react to dangerous situations on the road. The higher the risk of getting involved in car accidents the higher the premiums you’ll have to pay car insurance companies for coverage.

Here are a few tips on how your father can get senior citizen discounts there in Fayette, Kentucky:

Defensive Driving Schools
Learn more about safe or defensive driving from accredited driving schools and you’re father can qualify for discounts on car insurance.

AARP
Since you’re father has AARP membership, there is a good chance that he may qualify for more discounts not only towards his car insurance, but towards his other expenses as well. Have him consult his current insurance provider to see what kind of discounts he can get for his membership.

Raise Deductibles
If your father is driving an older vehicle, consider having a higher deductible on the car. This should lower his car insurance premiums as well. Also, it will be helpful to ask directly for a discount. Most Insurance Providers have senior citizen discounts but don’t expect them to be proactive about it.
