Things That May Affect Your Rates

Auto insurance rates are affected by a number of factors, including:

Zip code - Rates vary from zip code to zip code due to the frequency of thefts, vandalism, and auto repair bills. For example, insuring an auto in Miami, Florida may cost twice as much as insuring an auto in Sanford, Florida.

Make and model of your auto - Cars that have a low theft statistic or are cheaper to repair have lower insurance rates.

Driving record - Tickets, accidents (whether it's not-at-fault or at-fault), and previous claims may raise your rates.

Age - Statistics show that younger, less-experienced drivers, as well as senior drivers are involved in more accidents; therefore, the rates for these drivers are higher.

Vehicle usage - Business use, commute, and pleasure use are some usage categories. Each one is rated different. Business use tends to be the highest rated, while pleasure use tends to be the lowest rated.

Talk to one of our representatives to find out how you can lower your premiums. Some available auto insurance discounts are:
