Louisiana LA Car Insurance Rate

 

Reader’s Question:

I was wondering how car insurance companies is assessed. Where the cheapest auto insurance rates are is what I am curious about, but since that is too general I am interested in searching how I could better understand how an insurance rate is calculated in any given area.

Car insurance rates are based on different factors which can vary depending upon state insurance laws as well as individual insurance company’s underwriting guidelines.

The basics though of how an auto insurance rate is that the premium you pay consists of a “base rate” in addition or minus amounts reflecting factors such as your age, marital status, gender, driving pattern, claims history, vehicle type, driving record.

Normally there is a different base rate depending upon the type of car being insured and the geographical area where the motorist resides. While individual carriers may vary in the amounts they assess for each factor, the major rating factors are fairly universal.
