When it comes to auto insurance, you want to be adequately covered if you get in an accident but you don't want to pay any more than you have to.

For most Americans auto insurance is a very expensive purchase. To make an informed decision you should learn as much as you can about the underwriting factors that affect the cost, the different amounts of coverage available, the requirements in your State, and about what insurance companies have the best rate for you.

Underwriting Factors

Insurance companies underwrite to assess risk associated with an applicant. That is, what groups are at a higher risk to make more claims. The groups with a higher claim history will pay more for auto insurance. Underwriting factors that affect cost are:

  • Driving Record - Drivers with previous traffic violations and at fault accidents would be placed in a higher risk group.
  • Marital Status - Claims among married policyholders are less than single policyholders putting them in a lower risk group than single policyholders.
  • Residence - The location where you garage the vehicle (usually your residence) also affects the rates. More claims are made from urban areas than rural areas.
  • Age and Gender - Some age groups fall into higher risk groups. Males have more accidents than females. Teenagers have many more accidents than the rest of the population. A small number of States have prohibited insurance companies from using gender as a risk factor.
  • Use of Vehicle - Higher annual mileage will usually result in higher cost because of the higher exposure to risk.
  • Type of Vehicle - The type and cost of the car you drive will affect the cost of the insurance.
  • History of Prior Coverage - If you were cancelled because of non-payment of premiums from a prior insurance company your rates in some States might be affected adversely.
  • "Better Risk Discounts" - If you qualify, discounts you should ask for or consider when shopping online:
  • Multiple Vehicles
  • Prior Insurance Discount
  • Window Etching
  • Good Student
  • Safety Devices - Automatic seat belts, Anti-Lock brakes, Air Bags etc.
  • Drive a low amount of miles each year
  • Good Driver
  • Anti-theft devices
  • Driver Education courses for young and old drivers
  • Auto and Homeowners policies with same company
  • Buying Online Discount
  • Dividends

Depending on the type of legal and financial responsibility system used in your State, you will need to purchase either automobile liability insurance or no-fault insurance.
