Factors Influencing Car Insurance Cost

Car insurance companies determine your rate after looking at different factors, including your:
 
  • Zip code, because a more populated area can increase your risk of an accident or vandalism.
  • Driving history, since a clean claims record shows an insurer you’re a safe driver.
  • Type of car, because certain styles and newer models can cost more to insure.
These factors affect drivers differently, so how much car insurance costs for you can be different than the average cost. In fact, your specific policy cost will likely be different than your neighbors because you both have different needs. These are just some of the factors that insurers can look at when you get a quote.
 
While looking for auto insurance quotes, you may have seen a car insurance calculator. These tools can be helpful in letting you know which types of insurance you may need, but you’ll need to work with an insurer to actually pick your coverage amounts. How much car insurance you need will also impact your car insurance rate.
 
Your state’s car insurance laws also factor in to influence your rate. Most states have a minimum coverage amount that drivers have to carry. The Hartford can help you get the right auto coverage that meets your state’s requirements or work with you to tailor your policy to add more protection.
