Size Matters In Auto Insurance

There are a number of factors that can increase or decrease the amount of money you pay on your auto insurance. One that most people don't even consider is the type of car that they are insuring. The more expensive the model then the more you might expect to pay. But there are some additional factors that you might not have considered.

Size does count. The smaller, sportier vehicles have the highest reported losses. Many owners feel that if they CAN zip in and out of traffic then they should. This is one of the factors that leads to higher accident reports for smaller vehicles.

Smaller cars are often more affordable, which means that there are more of them on the road. This also leads to higher incident reports that push the statistics (and premiums) higher still.

Popularity of a vehicle can also raise the cost of premiums. The more the model is used in popular television shows or movies (especially in high speed scenes) then the more the prices of premiums have been known to go up - sometimes as much as six times higher than the national average.

On the flip side, it is the family car that is likely to cost the least to insure. The statistics are one of the reasons. The drivers of the family cars are less prone to speeding and driving recklessly. But these family cars are also likely to be driven less during the risky times of the day (like rush hour commutes).

Before you purchase your next vehicle take a look at the statistics for it. The more it is driven and the more popular the model then the more it could cost you in auto insurance premiums.
