Your Neighbors Driving Habits Could Be Affecting Your Insurance Rates

You may not realize it, but your neighbors driving habits could be affecting your insurance premiums. Insurance carriers consider not only what you drive and how you drive, but also where you live. A portion of auto insurance premiums are based on your ZIP code. If you happen to live in a ZIP code with a high number of accidents or car thefts, expect to pay more.

Sometimes moving just a few blocks away can have a significant impact on your car insurance simply because that area is in a different ZIP code. Areas like Florida where there is a much larger number of fatal accidents per capita than in other states drives insurance premiums much higher. In fact, drivers in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, for example, pay more than twice as much for car insurance than drivers in Seattle.

It's important to note that all car accidents are preventable. Obeying traffic laws, making sure your car is in good working order and giving plenty of room between cars on the road will go a long way towards steering you away from trouble. Maintaining a safe driving record will ensure that you receive cheap auto insurance quotes in your location.
