Factors Affecting Insurance Premium

It doesn't matter if you are riding a motorcycle, driving a car, or operating a commercial truck, there are several fundamental factors that have significant effects on insurance premium.

1. Annual Mileage and Vehicle Use - Being able to drive creates a lot of convenience, but convenience comes with a price. The more you use your vehicle, the higher premium you will need to pay.

2. Year, Make, and Model of Vehicle - Each vehicle has its unique security, safety, accident, and breakdown ratios. If you drive a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, don't expect to receive cheap insurance quotes. It is a smart decision to obtain quotes for the vehicles you plan to purchase prior to purchasing one. With that said, having a cheap car doesn't mean cheap insurance premium. Quite often, cheap vehicles have low crash safety ratings, which will result in higher insurance premiums.

Generally speaking, you want your vehicle to have:

High security rating
High crash safety rating
Low accident rating
Low breakdown rating

3. Age of Vehicle - Older vehicles tend to breakdown more often than newer vehicles. Keep this in mind especially when you purchase used / 2nd-hand vehicles. It is important to inspect the history of the vehicle to ensure a clean record, free from accidents and claims, before purchasing a used vehicle.

4. Driving and Parking Location - Where you will drive and park your vehicle is also an important factor that affects your insurance premium. If you drive in an area of high car accident and vehicle theft rates, your insurance premium will be higher, regardless of how safe and secure your vehicle is. This goes the same for where you will park your vehicle at night. If you park on the streets, you will pay more on insurance premium than people who park their vehicles in their garages or underground parking with video surveillance and security gate.

5. Driving Courses - More and more insurance companies throughout the United States are providing additional discounts to individuals who have taken certified defensive driving courses. Each state is different and each insurance provider is different. It is best to consult with the insurance companies to see the types of defensive driving courses you need to take to receive discounts on your insurance premium.

6. Gender - Statistics indicate female drivers are more careful in driving as compared to male drivers. Female drivers are less likely to get into accidents, resulting in cheaper insurance premiums than male drivers.

7. The Age Factor - Statistics indicate that young drivers are more likely to get into accidents due to the fact that they carry fewer responsibilities. Insurance premium drops significantly for people who pass 25 years of age and continues to drop until the age of 65.

8. Driving History - This is a crucial factor for most, if not all, of the insurance companies throughout the United States. Your driving history is a clear indication of how you drive. If you have a driving history full of at-fault accidents or speeding tickets, your insurance premium will rise significantly year after year.

9. Credit Score and Credit History - In some states, it is prohibited for insurance companies to use credit score or credit history as one of the factors when determining insurance premiums. Some insurance companies still look at your credit score and credit history to see how responsible you are financially. Insurance companies believe that if one cannot be responsible financially, one cannot be responsible for others when driving on the road, which is, a fair assessment.
