6 Criteria that Determine Your Car’s Insurance Premium

When will your car insurance premium be higher?

The decision to buy a car is not an easy one to make. We spend a lot of time looking around till we find a car we like that we can afford so the first thing to do once the car is bought is to insure it. Insuring your car is very easy, all you need to do is to select a car insurance company (make sure you choose one that offers you the best benefits). If you’ve taken out a car loan from a bank they could even recommend an insurance company for you.

How is a car insurance premium calculated?

 

There are many factors involved in deciding the insurance amount and premium, some are easy to control and others not so much:

  1. Men vs. Women: men tend to be more aggressive drivers. Statistically even when women are involved in car accident there tends to be less damage than when men are involved in accidents. As such insurance companies prefer to approve car insurance policies for women more than men.
  2. Age: those younger than 25 years old tend to get into more accidents than older drivers, as a result their insurance premium is higher than average.
  3. Social status: if you’re married and wish to insure your car then the likelihood your application will be approved is much higher than if you were single. You might even pay a lower premium. The reason behind this is that insurance companies view married individuals as more responsible. 
  4. Location: insurance companies like to know your regular routes so that they can make an informed decision and calculate your premium. If you use the highway or travel a lot in your car you might end up paying a higher premium.
  5. Employment: if you use your car for your job, for example if you are an engineer and you use your car to go to work sites, this will be a strike against you as it can possibly lead to accidents and the insurance company will probably have you pay a higher premium.
  6. Driving habits: insurance companies are aware of how you drive, where, and when you usually use your car. Accordingly they decide what your premium should be.
