How Much Will Auto Insurance Cost?

Drivers are grouped according to the level of risk each one poses-that is, the amount paid by insurers in each category of policyholders. Insurance companies group drivers in the following way:
·Sex: Men have more accidents on the road than women.
·Age: under 25 (and for some insurers, under 30).are considered more likely to have an accident.
·Marital Status: Married drivers tend to have fewer-accidents than single drivers.
·Personal Driving Record: Years of driving experience, accidents, speeding tickets and drunk-driving offenses are all factors in determining how much of a risk you pose as a motorist.
·How You Use Your Vehicle: If you commute by car during rush hours, you are at greater risk of having an accident than if you only drive for errands and recreation on the weekends. Drivers who use their own vehicles for business also are considered to be at a greater risk.
·Types of Vehicles: The value, size, weights, age of your vehicle, even the cost of replacement parts are essential to determining the price of your insurance. Larger, heavier-vehicles are considered at lower risk than smaller, lighter ones. More expensive cars are costlier to have repaired than economy models so the premium is higher.
