Factors That Determine Your Car Insurance Rates

Factors That Determine Your Car Insurance Rates

by admin / Tuesday, 26 April 2011 / Published in Auto Insurance Premiums

How do insurance companies determine your insurance premiums? In addition to your driving record, there are other factors taken into consideration when doing the math to figure out what your insurance premium will be.

Five Factors Used To Determine Car Insurance Premiums:

1. What type of vehicle do you own? The model, year, and value of your car can have an impact on your insurance premium. Cars that are more expensive to repair will be more expensive to insure.

2. What is your age, sex and marital status? Statistics show that older drivers, female drivers and married drivers tend to have better driving records. Because of this, these drivers usually have lower premiums.

3. Is your vehicle used for work or pleasure? Using your vehicle for work will probably increase your premium.

4. What is your prior insurance coverage? If you are a new driver or if you do not have insurance coverage, you will incur higher rates.

5. Where do you live? States with high population density tend to have more accidents, and therefore, charge higher insurance premiums. Also, the type of insurance system in the state can affect insurance rates.
