Yeah you are a “flight risk” customer or you have other data points that make them think you are worth offering a lower premium.
Think my driving record might have something to to with my options?
No? There’s a minimum base price that you would be charged.
Remember, this is a profitability equation, not a risk assessment. Wearing a Pope hat doesn’t make you the Pope.
I think it does. Seeing as my record is good, thereby making it easier for me to shop around and get a lower price. I think it’s pretty straightforward.
Someone who pays their premiums and doesn’t get in accidents is profitable.
But again, I don’t know all this to the true - I’d like to see his report vs mine.
Is your record good? I moved years ago and my rate dropped by half.
Was my record better or something? No.
Did you move states? Even cities can matter.
I didn’t mean to suggest that ONLY driving record matters.
If you move to a place known for a lot of uninsured drivers, your rates are gonna increase, for example.
A private business is arbitrarily charging customers for a required service. Living in one postal code or another has no bearing on a driver’s actual skill. These people are predatory, pull your head out of your ass.
As I said before, premiums aren’t just based on driver skill/record.
If you move to an area with high carjacking rates, your premiums will rise.
You sound like a kid who just started paying attention to this stuff. I thought it was common knowledge.
I’ve lived in 5 different places, over 2 countries, with the same car, under the same insurance company. Rates were always different.
So my premiums are higher in my 20000$ car because Lexus drivers get carjacked in my postal code.
It’s not new to me. It’s always been stupid and predatory.
