How Are Rates Determined?
Consider your search for the best car insurance
in the same way you would the search for the best,
most energy-efficient washing machine on the market.
You want to make sure that your new product serves
all your needs for the lowest price possible.
Simply finding the cheapest car insurance won't
do if the policy doesn't offer you the coverage you need
at the time of an emergency.

Getting the best car insurance possible is as
simple as paying attention to the details - your
details, the assets of your driving record and
the other drivers protected on your car insurance
policy. What do you have to offer the auto insurance
provider as assurance that you are
a good risk to take?
- New
Cars vs. Used Cars - The safer
the vehicle, the better the car insurance premiums.
- Female
Drivers vs. Male Drivers - Women
often get lower insurance premiums.
- New
Drivers vs. Older Drivers - The
very inexperienced and those with half a century
of experience tend to incur higher rates than
those who fall in between.
- Senior
Drivers - With the right measures
taken, even the traditionally high senior driver
car insurance policy can be purchased cheaply.
- Good
Record - If you have few or no
marks against you for traffic violations, then
you may qualify for a good driving record discount.
- Good
Student - Do you have a teenager
who is on the honor roll and is currently covered
by your policy? This is a common discount offered
by most providers.
- Gaps
in Coverage - Avoid letting your
insurance drop and avoid higher car insurance
rates.
- How
You Protect Your Car - Park your
car in a garage and install security devices
to receive discounts from your provider.
- What
Else You Insure - Insure multiple
items - boats, houses, cars, etc - with the
same company and often you'll get a discount.
- Where
You Live - Choosing a rural town
over a big city will decrease your car insurance
rates.
- Auto
Theft - Protect yourself and your
vehicle and earn discounts.
- Auto
Accidents - Never had one? Great!
Your car insurance will be lower.
All of these translate into discounts for you
on your car insurance policy - but only if your
chosen car insurance provider acknowledges them.
Make sure to ask your potential provider what
discounts they have to offer and if you qualify.
