How Car Insurance Works
Car insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay your losses if you are involved in a car accident.
When you buy car insurance, your insurance agent will ask some pretty basic questions about you and your car and give you some coverage options. The price of the policy is impacted by your answers. Generally, more coverage means a higher price.
If you are in an accident and cause damages or injuries, you can file a claim with your insurance company. If it's covered by your policy, your insurance company will then pay for the damages or losses up to certain limits.

How much does car insurance cost?
Car insurance premiums are calculated based on a number of factors.
- Your driving record – The cleaner your driving record, the lower your premium. If you have any accidents or serious traffic violations on your record, you will likely pay more. New drivers without an insurance track record may also pay a higher premium.
- How much you use your car – The more miles you drive, the more chance for accidents so you'll pay more if you drive your car for work, or use it to commute long distances. If you drive only occasionally—what some companies call “pleasure use"—you'll pay less.
- Location – Due to higher rates of vandalism, theft, and accidents, drivers living in urban areas pay a higher auto insurance premium than drivers in small towns or rural areas. Where you park your car (on the street or in a secure garage) may impact the bottom line as well.
- Your age – The older you are the more experience you have driving. Typically, experienced drivers have fewer accidents than less experienced drivers, particularly teenagers. Insurers generally charge more for drivers under the age of 25.
- The car you drive – The make, model and year of your car are important factors along with likelihood of theft, the cost of repairs, engine size and the overall safety record of the car.
- Your credit – Similar to your credit score, your credit-based insurance score is a statistical tool predicting the likelihood you will file a claim and the expected cost of the claim. filing a claim and the likely cost of the claim.
- The type and amount of auto insurance coverage – the types of coverage you choose beyond minimum coverage and the size of your deductible all affect your premium.
