Auto Insurance - What Has My Zip Code Got to Do With My Rates?

By Chimerenka Odimba

Zip codes generally have to do with location at least we all know that. One would then wonder how this little factor affects the rate we pay on our Auto insurance. It is good you are reading this as the information you would get here would help you make the right decisions and consequently get better rates on your Auto insurance.

Look at the following facts. Who would spend more time driving, the person who stays closer to the places they frequent or the person who stays farther away? We all know that answer.

The more we drive our cars, the more mileage we accumulate and the more likely it is for the car to develop one fault or the other or even to be involved in an accident.

The best to way look at insurance issues is to always put at the fore the fact that anything that increases your likelihood of making a claim has automatically increased your rates.

These examples should make it a bit clearer.

If the area you stay in is very crime or violence prone, the likelihood of your car being damaged vandalized or out rightly stolen is visibly higher. Facts like this automatically translates into higher rates for you on your auto insurance and most other insurance cover for that matter.

Try to make sure that your home is as close to your most frequented places like work place etc and that you can access mass transport easily as this can afford you the opportunity of resting your car sometimes.

Staying close to a police station would be very beneficial to you. It would be taken for granted that that environment is much safer and that would impact favorably on your rates.

Finally, after taken care that your location is insurance friendly, go online and compare as much quotes as you can. I promise you that you would be shocked at how much you an save.

Here are two of my most trusted free quotes no obligation sites.
