- Vehicle lease or loan information if you don’t own your car
What Factors Help Determine My Car Insurance Quote?
AARP members have access to exclusive benefits and savings, like up to 10% off** their car insurance with The Hartford. However, keep in mind that your AARP membership is just one thing that impacts your auto insurance quote. Other factors that help determine your car insurance rates include:
Your driving record:A safe driving history can help reduce the cost of your auto insurance coverage. So, if you have any moving violations or accidents, you may pay more for your auto insurance.
How much you drive:The more time you spend on the road, the more likely it is that you could have an accident. This means if you have longer work commutes, you’ll likely pay more for your auto insurance. If you no longer drive and aren’t licensed, you can still getcar insurance with no license.
Coverage history:Insurance companies like to see continuousauto insurance coverage,because it shows that you’re a responsible driver. So, if you’ve had long or frequent lapses in your auto coverage, you’ll likely pay more for your car insurance.
The vehicle you drive: Typically, safer and cheaper vehicles cost less to insure, while expensive vehicles and cars that don’t perform well in safety tests cost more.
Where you live: Having more drivers in your area can increase the likelihood of an auto accident and raise the cost of your insurance.
