Each car insurance company
has adapted its own policy associated with the underwriting
process. With that said and understood, there are some common
factors that each and every car insurance company takes into
consideration when it comes to developing an underwriting
policy and underwriting process. These different factors include:
1. Demography -- basic information about you including sex
and age -- the younger you are and if you are male … your
insurance rates will be higher.
2. Driving record -- if you have a good driving record (with
no accidents and citations) you will have a better chance
of obtaining favorable insurance rates from a car insurance
company in this day and age.
3. Where you live -- if you live in an urban area, your car
insurance rates will be higher.
4. The value of your car -- the more expensive you car, the
more you will spend on insurance premium costs.
5. How you use your car -- if you use your car for business
purposes rather than personal purposes alone, your car insurance
premium rates will rise.
6. Make, model and age of your car -- all of these factors
will impact the amount of money you will have to pay to your
car insurance company in the way of insurance premiums.
7. Single versus multiple car policy -- if you insure more
autos through your car insurance company, you likely will
be able to obtain a premium reduction for insuring multiple
vehicles.
