Answer 2

I work for a major insurance company. There's a lot of factors the insurance companies looks at when it comes to determining insurance rates. Some examples are...
1. your age and gender (younger people get the worst rates because they're the ones who gets into the most accidents statistically speaking.
2. if you have any tickets or citation on your driver's license
3. your credit history-a lot of insurance companies now check your credit history.
4. the type of vehicle you have and the color. If you have a car with safety features like side airbags, alarm systems, etc. they will give you a discount)
5. believe it or not, the place, meaning, the town or city you live can also affect your insurance rates. if you live in a bad area that's also populated and has high crime rates, it will increase your insurance rates.
6. you also have to think about the type of coverages you want to have. For example, the higher your deductible is for your collision or comprehensive, etc, the lower your rates will be. But, if you have an accident, let's say a collision accident and you have a $1,000 deductible. The damage was estimated for $3000, you would have to pay the shop $1000 out of pocket and the insurance companies pay for $2000.
7. insurance companies also knows if you've had any previous accidents. they can check who you've been insured with in the past and find out if you've had any previous claims and if you were at fault or not at fault for the accident.
These are just some examples of what insurance companies look for to determine if you're a high risk driver and determine your rates. The best thing to do is check out this website...

It's the best one. All you have to do is register and put your info. It will give you a list of insurance companies that they found that will give you the cheapest rates and the price. This is a secure website so you don't have to worry.

Answer 3

I've been paying a lot for insurance since I've been driving, and it's hard to find decent cheap insurance. A major part of how you pay is based on what you drive, but most people don't choose their car because the insurance is cheap on it. I've used a place called the Auto Insurance Network, they have been good in finding me the best deal. Right now I'm with Progressive and the prices are what they've always been for me(about $130 a month and I can pay online). Anything short of cutting your manhood off and getting registered as a woman is going to make your insurance cheaper.

Good Luck

Answer 4

You are leaving out a lot of info. The term "boy racer" makes me think you're driving a vehicle that fits the profile...is your car-----. A lowered Honda Civic/ Acura Integra with a body kit and lots of customizations? Insurance co's aren't looking to profile you, but your age and the type of car you want to insure along with of course your driving record all come into play. Do you have any traffic violations in your racermobile? I'm kidding (sort of), with the stereotypes but I think you can gather what I'm saying...

Answer 6

Young drivers will probably be better off going direct to an insurance company.

CIS (Co-op) are good and under used
Tesco's are always cheap

May be worth going to a broker but they generally cater for people with specific makes, values etc.

Answer 7

Every state has different rules and every company has different rates. Get a newspaper from a nearby college campus and you should find a few agents/companies advertising to young people in your area. Get at least 3 quotes because rates vary a LOT!

In California there is a program where lower income people can buy insurance for around $350/YEAR with only15% down.

Here is the www.insurance.ca.gov website:
http://www.insurance.ca.gov/0100-consumers/0100-insurance-guides/0100-automobile-series/lca/index.cfm

Companies change their rating structure constantly so check prices at least once per year. I'm older, but I've changed car insurance companies every 4 - 5 years because the rates were hundreds lower.

My last 4 companies and experiences in Los Angeles Area (Note: rates and experiences will differ):
-American Automobile Club (current), About the same cost as Mercury, but Mercury would not insure my new house, and AAA would, so I switched a year ago.
-Mercury Insurance ($600 less than 21st century, little web service available but good phone service, good claims service, with them for 5 years)
-21st Century (almost $1000/yr cheaper than Farmers, fantastic web site, with them for 4 years. no claims.)
-Farmers (great claims service, pricy, with for 5 years)

Answer 9

If your under 25 you automatically pay a higher premium because of the experience factor. IF possible be an occassional driver on a parents policy for most of that time. If you cant, get an older car with basic coverage and drive safe.
