The Virginia State Corporation Commission is advising Virginians on how to save money on auto insurance.
The SCC Bureau of Insurance says many insurance companies consider the length of daily commutes to work or school when determining rates. They may also consider how many miles people drive throughout the year.
Alfred Gross, commissioner of insurance for the SCC, says drivers should talk to their insurance agents if high gas prices have affected their driving habits, like carpooling or relying on mass transit.
The bureau also recommends comparing prices and coverage offered by different insurance companies.
