IMPROV: online traffic school and defensive driving with a comedy twist

Shopping at IMPROV? See all current IMPROV promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

IMPROV is an online driving school that covers defensive driving, traffic school, insurance discount courses and driver's education across the US. Its courses were created with the IMPROV Comedy Club, so the lessons lean on humor to keep a few hours of road rules from dragging. Everything runs online on a phone, computer or as podcast-style audio, and support is available seven days a week by live chat, text or phone.

It suits drivers who need to deal with a ticket, take points off their record or qualify for a car insurance discount, and who would rather do that from the couch than a classroom. The site says its courses are approved by courts and DMVs, and you choose your state first because the rules, course length and fees all depend on where you live.

The New York Defensive Driving Course is the one most people come for. It is the state's Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) course: finishing it gets you a 10% reduction on the base premium of your liability and collision coverage for three years, and up to four points off your driving record. It runs for 320 minutes, as the state requires, with no final exam, just a few multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter. The price is listed as $29.95 plus the DMV fee, down from $69.95.

If you have a ticket in another state, the California Traffic School course is DMV licensed and has no chapter timers, and the Florida Basic Driver Improvement course says you can have your certificate in as little as 30 minutes. In Arizona, IMPROV checks your eligibility with the courts within 48 hours and refunds you in full if you are not eligible.

Current offers

• New York drivers get 10% off auto insurance by finishing the state-approved defensive driving course.
• Across other states, completing an approved course can earn an auto insurance discount of up to 10%, depending on your state and insurer.
• The site is showing savings of up to 50% on course prices right now, with the regular price crossed out on each state page.

How to save more

• Check the insurance discount page and call your insurer before you enroll. IMPROV notes that discounts usually run 5% to 15% and last about three years, but the rules vary by state and insurer, and a course taken for court may not count toward a discount.
• Watch for extra fees. Texas adds a $3 administrative fee and New York adds the DMV fee, so compare the full total, not just the headline price.
• Use the money-back promise if you need it. Course pages say you can cancel for a full refund before your certificate is issued.
