Q: How much is the insurance discount?

Q: Will I get my discount immediately?

A: That depends on your insurance company. Some will enter your discount in as soon as you inform them that you took the class. Others will require you to provide the official paperwork. Either way, once your insurance company has updated your policy, you will be reimbursed. In other words, if you paid for sixth months of insurance in January and take the class in February, your insurance company will reimburse you for the 10% from February to June.Go back to questions
