Auto insurance ads bend the truth

Mississippi drivers get pounded daily by advertisements for car insurance savings by State Farm and Allstate. All the ads have a common claim about savings after switching to their company.

How do they all say the same thing? This is how they do it.

All the different companies have a preferred profile for the driver that earns them a profit. A good example of a preferred risk might be profiled as between the ages of 30 and 50, insures multiple vehicles, and drives less than 10,000 miles a year. A propective insured that hits that "sweet spot" will get very good rates and most likely will cut their rates substantially.

Drivers who fall outside the "perfect" profile will be charged higher premiums and this can result in business not being written. The ads say "drivers who switch" not "people who quote" save that much. This is how companies can truthfully advertise the way they do.

That is why you should compare many company's rates. It's not possible to predict which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest rates.
