Four Things That Impact Your Insurance Premiums

Consumers need to have an understanding of some of the things that aid in calculating insurance rates. When you know what positively or negatively determines premiums, this allows you to make good choices that may reward you with big savings. Many factors are part of the calculation when premium rates are determined. Some factors are common sense such as your driving record, but other criteria are more transparent like where you live and annual miles driven.

Listed below are a few of the "ingredients" utilized by car insurance companies to help set your rates.

• Deter car thieves - Buying a car with advanced anti-theft systems can save you some money. Theft prevention features such as OnStar found on GM vehicles, advanced tracking like LoJack, and vehicle immobilization systems can help prevent car theft and help bring rates down.
• Liability coverage limits are a factor - The liability section of your policy is the protection if ever a jury decides you are liable for physical damage or personal injury to other. Your liability coverage provides legal defense coverage up to the limits shown on your policy. Liability insurance is pretty cheap compared to comp and collision, so buy as much as you can afford.

• Gender impacts rates - Statistics show women are more cautious behind the wheel. This data doesn't prove that men are WORSE drivers than women. Both sexes tend to get into fender benders in similar percentages, but males cause more damage and cost insurance companies more money. In addition to higher claims, males also get more serious tickets such as driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving recklessly.

  The illustration below shows the difference between Toyota Camry Hybrid yearly insurance costs for male and female drivers. The information is based on no violations or accidents, full physical damage coverage, $250 deductibles, marital status is single, and no additional discounts are factored in.
• Gaps in coverage mean higher insurance rates - Going without insurance can be a quick way to pay more for insurance. And not only will insurance be more expensive, failure to provide proof of insurance could result in a hefty fine and possibly a revoked license. You may have to submit proof of financial responsibility or a SR-22 with the California motor vehicle department to get your license reinstated.

• Insurance loss statistics a Toyota Camry Hybrid - Car insurance companies use past loss statistics for each vehicle when determining insurance rates. Models that are shown to have higher number or severity of losses will have higher premium rates.

  The data below shows the collected loss data for Toyota Camry Hybrid vehicles. For each policy coverage type, the loss probability for all vehicles combined as an average is represented as 100. Values that are below 100 suggest a better than average loss history, while values over 100 point to more frequent losses or an increased chance of a larger loss.

Why you need to buy car insurance

Even though Santa Ana Camry Hybrid insurance rates can get expensive, buying car insurance may be required and benefits you in several ways.

• The majority of states have minimum mandated liability insurance limits which means you are required to buy specific limits of liability insurance in order to license the vehicle. In California these limits are 15/30/5 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $5,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a loan on your Camry Hybrid, it's guaranteed your bank will force you to buy full coverage to ensure they get paid if you total the vehicle. If the policy lapses, the lender may have to buy a policy to insure your Toyota for a much higher rate and require you to fork over for the much more expensive policy.
• Insurance protects both your vehicle and your assets. It will also reimburse you for medical transport and hospital expenses for not only you but also any passengers injured in an accident. Liability coverage will also pay for a defense attorney if you are sued as the result of an accident. If you receive damage to your vehicle caused by a storm or accident, your policy will cover the repair costs.

The benefits of having insurance are without a doubt worth the cost, especially if you ever need it. On average, a vehicle owner in Santa Ana is overpaying over $825 a year so compare rate quotes at every renewal to help ensure money is not being wasted.

Affordable Toyota Camry Hybrid insurance in Santa Ana is attainable online and with local Santa Ana insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates.
