Choosing a Vehicle by Insurance Cost
Insurance companies use a wide range of information to determine what you pay for insurance. What you may not know is how much your choice of vehicle influences the rates you pay for coverage.
What Makes it Expensive
The overwhelming reason your policy will cost more is what the insurer anticipates will be the cost to repair or replace the vehicle. A car with a powerful motor may make a driver more likely to get a ticket for speeding or even racing. A vehicle packed with high-tech features will also cost more to insure. Insurers also calculate the risk that the vehicle will be vandalized or stolen.
