3.  Anti-Theft - This discount applies when you have an alarm system installed in your vehicle.

4.  Low Mileage Discount - This discount is for keeping mileage down.  In many cases, when insured have a secondary vehicle that they don't drive that often.  

5.  Passive Restraint- This discount applies when your vehicle has safety features such as airbags or motorized seatbelts.
