Every state in the USA has its own agency that regulates the manner in which insurance companies calculate expenses for car insurance. Furthermore, these companies can not deviate from these rules. When calculating the cost, insurance policyholders sort insured people into two main groups. The first group consists of "the risk drivers". Most likely they will cost the company more; therefore their insurance is more expensive.

Who is a risky driver or who is not, is based on the history of traffic accidents and credit history. If you are immigrant your insurance company will not have any insight in your history and, and chances that you are a "risk factor" are very high.

Other parameters that influence the price of your car policy are the model and year of production of your car. Furthermore, it is important for how many people you are buying policy (one or more drivers), your sex and age years.

Be careful with deductible

You need to get only Liability Coverage by the law. However if get a loan to buy a car or if you signed a lease agreement, it is very likely that you'll be "forced" to buy full coverage. This is a term that describes how many items you added to your insurance and generally speaking it means that you have to pay more than the mandatory Liability Coverage (BI plus DP).

Be careful with the decision to reduce the installment by increasing deductible amount. Never agree to a deductible, if you are prepared not to pay it at any time. If at any point you do not have savings for deductible of $ 1.000 do not it.

Shop around

Depending on your budget and needs you will decide which policy is the best choice for you. You need to keep in mind that you also have health insurance, however sometimes your regular health insurance may be not enough for interventions such as surgery of knee or hand due to the fracture. It can cost you over $50.000. Various items are listed in your Bodily Injury Liability Coverage (BI). There you can find that maximum coverage for one person in accident is $50.000. More over, it also says that it covers all persons injured in the accident with only $100.000.

Your behavior in traffic will impact the cost of insurance. If you participate in an accident and you are not responsible for it, it will not affect the price when you renew your policy, which usually lasts six months. However, keep in mind that insurance companies calculate fines and traffic violations as "penalty points". Their system for calculating is much different than DMV’s system. For example, if you make illegal left turn (if you improperly turn to the left) DMV Driving Record will give you one point but your insurance company we’ll give you three points in the record. These examples are most drastic in the states of California and New York.

And finally, before you decide to buy insurance to follow the good old U.S. policy of "Shop Around"! Many companies give discounts for students, new drivers, members of various charitable organizations, the combined policies ... Never accept the first offer no matter how good it sounds, before you explore what others offer.
