Here are four steps for U.S. service members to use to make sure their coverage is secure and that they're paying the lowest rates:

1. Check with your agent and state insurance department to find out whether state laws allow your auto coverage to be reduced or suspended while deployed on active duty.

2. Consider whether you can change your policy to lower limits or less coverage if the car will not be driven while you are deployed. Insuring the car for the absolute minimum may be the best option for continuous coverage at the best rates.

3. Set up a payment plan with your carrier so auto insurance payments will be made automatically, deducted de·duct

4. Ask your insurance company for special discounts or coverage rules for members of the military. If they do not offer anything, shop around for a company that is more responsive to your needs. When revising your policy, use a comparison shopping Web site like www.AutoInsurancePlanners.com to get the most choices and best car insurance rates.
