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.
