Unfortunately for young drivers, those under 25 are statistically more often involved in accidents than most older drivers. Men also tend to be involved in more accidents and will usually have higher premiums than females.

Married vs. Single

A married person is considered more dependable than a single person, and that makes insurance companies feel more comfortable giving a married a lower premium.

Credit History

Insurance companies may check your credit rating to see if you have a positive or negative history of paying your bills on time. It will help them consider whether or not you will be a higher risk liability.

Driving History

Your rates will probably increase if your driving record shows any accidents, DUI's, or speeding tickets.

Occupation & Education

If your occupation requires a lot of driving, your car insurance will will probably go up because the longer you are in your car driving, the higher your chance of being in an accident is. People who have completed college are considered more likely to drive safe than someone who has not.

Driving Experience

Someone with a decade's worth of driving history is considered much more experience, and thus safer, than someone who has just started out.

Vehicle Classification

A car is classified according to its performance ability and its safety record. Generally, sports cars and SUV's tend to be among the highest and most expensive classification.

Where You Live

Where you park your car can also change your premium. If you live in a high-theft area, your premium will probably go up. Also, the more congested the area you live, the more your premium will probably rise.
