Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect car insurance rates the most?
Age, driving record, credit score, vehicle make/model, and coverage level are the biggest factors. Young drivers (under 25) and those with accidents or tickets pay 50-100% more. Luxury/sports cars cost more to insure than sedans.
How much car insurance do I need?
State minimums (often 25/50/25) are rarely enough. We recommend at least 100/300/100 bodily injury and property damage coverage, plus comprehensive and collision if your car is worth over $3,000. Consider an umbrella policy if you have significant assets.
Can I lower my premium by raising my deductible?
Yes. Increasing your deductible from $500 to $1,000 typically saves 10-15% on comprehensive and collision coverage. Going to $2,000 can save 20-25%. Just make sure you can afford the deductible if you need to file a claim.
Do car insurance rates go down as your car ages?
Partially. Comprehensive and collision premiums decrease as your car depreciates, but liability coverage stays similar. After 8-10 years, you may want to drop comp/coll if the car's value is low โ€” it's not worth paying $500/year to insure a car worth $2,000.
Why do insurance companies check credit scores?
Studies show credit-based insurance scores correlate with claim frequency. Drivers with excellent credit (740+) pay 20-30% less than those with poor credit, all else equal. A few states (CA, HI, MA, MI) ban or limit credit-based pricing.
