Buying a new, expensive car can make your rates go up.
There are a lot of factors that go into determining your insurance rate. And at times, your rate may go up (or down!) Let’s look at what can cause changes:
If you purchase a new vehicle, there is a good chance your insurance rates will change somewhat. If the vehicle is newer, more expensive, or if you have a lienholder and require full coverage, your rate will probably increase.
Why do some vehicles cost more than others? Simply because some cost more to fix! All of these things play into the cost of insuring that particular car.
Any household changes may change your rate. Getting married might lower your rate, but adding a teenage driver will probably increase it! Rates are determined by the age and driving history of each person in the household. That doesn’t mean you’ll see huge swings in price, but just keep it in mind when making changes.
Rates are also calculated based on the zip code where you drive the most. If you move from a high-traffic city to a much less populated rural area, your rate will go down (and vice versa).
Unfortunately, getting a ticket can raise your rates. It shows that you’re at a higher risk of having an accident and causing a claim. Keeping your driving record clean will save you money!
Most policies have several discounts included and if those discounts expire, your rate may increase. If you’re receiving a discount for being accident-free for several years and then have an accident, the loss of the discount will increase your rate.
Maybe you were receiving a discount for having your policy on a monthly draft and then decided to just send in a check. You might see a slight increase here too. Or you had your auto and homeowners insurance bundled together at the same insurance company, then switched one of your policies to another company. You’ll lose your multi-policy discount.
