Car Insurance Rate
Saturday, October 4th, 2003A “rate” is the cost of the policy or of the cover that a person has to pay to have the car covered. The underwriters decide upon the rate. The rate is the value of the policy without considering any discounts and surcharges.
A car insurance rate can be found by visiting the Web sites of most of the companies. A person has to key in his car s information and can instantly receive an estimate of how much it will cost to cover the vehicle. This is known as a “quote”. It is possible to get these quotes online or by calling the respective company s customer service number.
The rates vary from company to company, car to car and also from area to area. For example, if a high performance car is put in a garage in a high-risk area, like, say, a hurricane prone area as Florida, then the premium will be considerably higher than any average performance car parked in a medium or low risk area.
The major factors that influence the rates are, the type of car, driver/drivers (more...)
