How can you snag an unadvertised discount when getting car insurance quotes?

Getting car insurance quotes is standard, but the real savings often come from asking for a specific, non-obvious discount. What's one discount you successfully asked for and received that isn't commonly advertised, like for a specific profession or a low-mileage driving habit?
