Kentucky Auto Insurance Rates

By Steve Turner

There are a number of different things that affect the price that insurance providers charge for Kentucky Auto Insurance coverage. Just one of these things is the type of vehicle that you choose to drive.

Insurance providers rate vehicles upon risk factors such as the probability of theft or accidents and the costs of repairs relative to other vehicles. The actual value of your vehicle will actually have less impact on your premium than the type of vehicle and its claim history.

Repair or replacement costs will be higher if your vehicle is expensive or technologically advanced. Your insurance premium will also be affected if your vehicle has a high probability of being stolen.

The power of your car will affect the premium. High performance and light weight cars both have a high loss rate and therefore higher premiums. Station wagons and passenger vans have the lowest losses in vehicle damage and will therefore have a better rate.

The area in which you live will be looked at by the insurance provider to see how high the occurrence of insurance fraud is there. They will also evaluate your age, gender, driving record and credit history.

Because of the reasons listed above you can see why your vehicle will make a difference on your insurance premium. Talk with your insurance agent about how your vehicle rates on the various risk scales.

To help find the best coverage and price for your auto insurance policy use an insurance comparison website. These sites allow you to enter in your information once and then will provide you with a number of quotes from various insurance providers. Since it is recommended that you obtain at least 3 quotes, this is a quick way to accomplish this.
