Men have been known to take more risks in a lot of areas in life than women. This ensures that men are the ones who suffer disproportionately if we talk about car insurance. Even if women are involved in the same amount of accidents, their accidents are seen to be less serious, and less expensive from the point of view of insurance. This is the reason why women drive at a pace more slower than men. They are more cautious.

Because of this, men will pay generally less in terms of insurance, all else equal. However, if women pick up the bad habits of men in driving, they are expected to pay a larger insurance premium. Some companies specialize only in providing insurance to women, even though it is generally accepted that all insurers will give women a discount on whatever is paid by a man

Risky driver, higher premium

posted on February 16, 2009 in General

For many people, speed is a thrill. The faster you go, the more exhilarating it gets. That’s why the terms “speed freak”, or “speed addict” are much more common today than before.


But do you know that bad driving habits like speeding contribute to you having to pay much higher car insurance premiums?

The principle behind this are insurance companies’ high risk high premium principle. This simple means that the greater chances of you getting a speeding / traffic ticket, or getting into an accident increase the premiums you will need to pay. What’s more, always having your car go fast damages the engine and other parts of your car faster, resulting in more expensive maintenance and more frequent repairs.

So if you want to pay lower premiums, then you’d better abandon those dreams of speed pretty fast.

Uninsured Drivers – On The Rise

posted on December 15, 2008 in General, Review, Tips

More and more people are opting to continue driving without insurance ending on the wrong side of the law in the event of traffic stops or accidents. Though unavoidable, the very high price of premiums dissuades previously insured drivers from renewing their policies due to the current economic crunch. Many fail to see that driving without proper insurance is against the law in many states in the US as well as in many countries around the world.
As with any other form of insurance, it serves as a financial back-fall in case of accidents due to the apparent fact that driving is still one of the most dangerous modes of transport. Each and every minute, a traffic accident happens and sadly, from those a few result in fatalities and insurmountable damages. The need for insurance is a must which is why governments and providers have been trying hard to make them as affordable as possible. This however may not be enough to convince people who risk losing their homes prioritizing other needs before auto insurance.

It’s getting harder and harder to set aside money for car insurance. And yet you know how important it is. Here are some tips to helping you find ways to lower your insurance premium:

1.Driving Violations – having a record of accidents or driving violations (such as speeding tickets, DWI, etc.) means that you are at a higher risk for accidents and will mean higher premiums.
2.Vehicle Type – the cheaper the car, the less it takes to insure it, get it?!
3.Accident Claims – insurance companies will check on the accident claims you’ve made in the past. The more claims, the higher premiums.
4.Occupation – There is a statistical correlation between your occupation and risk. A salesman who drives around a lot is more likely to have a higher premium than his secretary who sits behind the desk all day.
5.Driving experience – the more years you’ve been driving, the lower the premiums, which is why teenagers have the highest premiums of all age groups.

There are some insurance companies that do motor insurance especially for women but if you do not know who they are and what they are offering then you could spend a lot of time and effort and quite possibly cost yourself a lot of money contacting several companies to get an insurance quote, only to be disappointed by what you are quoted. Do not forget a broker will know where to look for the best policies and the cheapest deals straight away.

Driving a small car instead of a big a car will reduce the cost of your car insurance. This is because small cars normally have a smaller engine, which will also give you more miles to a tank of fuel resulting in costing you less to get from A to B. Enhanced security features will also make a difference to the cost of your car insurance, a car fitted with an alarm or tracker or immobilizer is a more secure vehicle and therefore less likely to be stolen which brings down the premium charged for your insurance.
