 * 8 reasons your car insurance rate changes


8 REASONS YOUR CAR INSURANCE RATE CHANGES

While it can seem arbitrary, there are actual reasons you can see your price go
up and down.

Get my price

Car insurance rates can change based on factors like claims, driving history,
adding new drivers to your policy, and even your credit score. But they can also
change based on a variety of reasons that are largely out of your control.


1. DRIVING RECORD

Incidents such as accidents (even if you weren't at fault), speeding violations,
reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated can increase premiums.

If you've filed a claim in the past few years, this might also result in an
increase to your premium. You've heard it before but do your best to remain on
your guard and maintain good driving habits. As time goes on, past claims on
your record will decrease if you keep losses to a minimum.


2. CREDIT SCORE

Your personal insurance score, based partially on your credit score, is used in
combination with other factors to help determine your home and auto rates. This
practice lets insurance companies cover more people and promotes equitable rates
for all customers. If you think there is incorrect information in your credit
score, contact Equifax. Your insurance company may reevaluate your premium based
on corrected credit information.


3. HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE

It's pretty simple: the more you drive, the more opportunity there is to get in
an accident. Let your car insurance company know if your lifestyle changes and
you're driving less, because you may be eligible for lower rates.


4. THE CAR YOU DRIVE

Generally, a new car costs more to repair after an accident. New cars are also
at a higher risk of break-ins or theft. So, if you're thinking about buying that
dream car you've always wanted, talk to your insurance company about how your
rates will be affected. Keep in mind luxury cars aren't the only ones that are
at a high-risk of theft. Thieves also target cars with high-demand parts.


5. ADDING A DRIVER TO YOUR POLICY

All the factors above as they pertain to an additional driver on your policy can
ultimately impact your rate. As you might guess, adding a teenage driver can
generally bump up your rate due to the high-risk associated with new drivers.

Worried about insuring your teen driver? If they have a GPA of a B or better,
they may qualify for our Good Student Discount. Start your auto insurance quote
to see how much you could save.

Learn more about how to get the best insurance for your new driver.


6. STATISTICS WHERE YOU LIVE

Insurance companies take factors beyond your car and personal driving habits
account when determining your rate. For instance, the following factors can
cause your insurance bill to go up for seemingly no reason at all:

 * Crime rate
 * Increased accidents—often from distracted drivers
 * More uninsured and underinsured drivers on the road
 * Insurance fraud
 * Increased natural disasters


7. INFLATION

Auto repair costs have increased due to supply chain issues and labor shortages.
Insurance companies need to account for these increases when determining
premiums. Learn more about how inflation is affecting insurance costs.


8. YOUR DISCOUNTS CHANGED

Car insurance companies may offer an introductory discount when you buy your
first policy with them. Or maybe they started charging a fee to keep receiving a
paper bill. Check your statement and contact your insurance company if you have
questions.

It's important to shop around to make sure you're getting the best value.
Liberty Mutual offers an extensive list of car insurance discounts—from going
paperless to signing up for a new policy before your old one ends. In addition
to discounts, you can customize your insurance, so you only pay for what you
need.
