  • Auto Insurance Rates Causes

    Here are some of the top "drivers" of auto insurance rates:

    1. People Have Accidents - over 40 million accidents in the world each year.

    2. Cars are Expensive to Repair - replacement parts alone cost about 3 times as much as purchasing the same car new.*

    3. Medical Treatment for Accident Victims is Expensive - rising health care costs in the U.S. mean upward trends in medical treatment costs in the event of an accident.**

    4. People Steal Cars - as auto theft continues to rise, so will the cost of auto insurance.

    5. Some People File Fraudulent or Inflated Claims - these people believe an accident is an opportunity to make money.
