Loogootee Rates are Influenced by These Factors

It's important that you understand the factors that help determine auto insurance rates. Knowing what impacts premium levels enables informed choices that may reward you with better auto insurance rates.

The following are some of the items auto insurance companies consider when setting rates.

  • Being married is a good thing - Getting married can get you a discount on auto insurance. It means you're more responsible and it's proven that married drivers get in fewer accidents.
  • Older drivers save more - Teenage drivers in Indiana are known to be more careless when driving so they pay higher auto insurance rates. If you've ever had to add a teenage driver to your auto insurance policy can really hurt. More mature drivers are viewed as being more responsible, tend to cause fewer accidents and tend to be better behind the wheel.
  • Men pay higher rates - Statistics have proven that women are safer drivers than men. However, this does not mean men are worse drivers. Men and women cause accidents at a similar rate, but the males have costlier accidents. They also get more serious tickets like reckless driving and DUI. Youthful male drivers are most likely to cause an accident and thus pay the highest rates.
  • Save money with special equipment - Purchasing a vehicle with an alarm system can get you a discount on your auto insurance. Theft prevention features like tamper alarm systems, vehicle immobilizer technology and General Motors OnStar all aid in stopping auto theft.
  • Traffic citations inflate rates - Just one ticket can boost insurance rates twenty percent or more. Careful drivers have lower premiums compared to drivers with tickets. Drivers who have flagrant citations such as reckless driving, hit and run or driving under the influence may need to file a proof of financial responsibility form (SR-22) with the DMV in their state in order to keep their license.

More discounts equal less premium

Insuring your vehicles can cost a lot, but you can get discounts to cut the cost considerably. Some trigger automatically at the time of quoting, but some may not be applied and must be asked about before you will receive the discount.

  • Sign Online - Some insurance companies give back up to $50 for buying your policy over the internet.
  • College Student - Youth drivers living away from home attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle may be able to be covered for less.
  • Senior Discount - Older drivers may be able to get better auto insurance rates.
  • Payment Method - By paying your policy upfront rather than paying monthly you may reduce your total bill.
  • Good Student Discount - Getting good grades can save 20 to 25%. The good student discount can last well after school through age 25.
  • Life Insurance Discount - Companies who offer life insurance give a discount if you purchase life insurance from them.

A little note about advertised discounts, some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Some only reduce individual premiums such as liability, collision or medical payments. So even though they make it sound like you could get a free auto insurance policy, you won't be that lucky. Any amount of discount will bring down your premiums.

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn't really a one size fits all plan. Everyone's situation is a little different and your policy should reflect that.

  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
  • Should I buy only the required Indiana minimum liability coverage?
  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • What are Indiana no-fault laws?
