Help answer the question about auto insurance rates
Do MA auto insurance rates drop after three years of being insured?Next year will make three years that i have had auto insurance through commerce insurance. I got a newer car this year and my rate went up $600. I was wondering if it was true that your rates drop after being insured for three years. And if they do is there a percent that they drop in MA.

You can compare how the insurance quotes would change, for example here – carinsurance.yoll.net
It is a difference as you were in control of the vehicle. Being on the roadway makes it a not at fault accident. In the parking lot, it is just a hit and run. It would be like whether or not you were parked at your house or driving down the road. Either way, you rates should not go up at all. It was a not at fault accident that you would couldn't control. If your rates do go up, I suggest finding a company that will not raise your rates if you have an accident that is not your fault.

these are companies you have to qualify for but if you do they have good rates and they are GREAT companies. See if they write in your area. Erie Insurance, State Auto, Liberty Mutual. I would not hesitate to place a client with any of them.
It really depends on the insurance company. In most cases no, but some of them can be pretty strict.
Haha, Aw how unfortunate
lol
WTF,,,,,,, Now thats funny ;o)
They don't EVERYWHERE – in MA, for example, women and men pay the same for auto insurance, just like they pay the same for life insurance, even though men are more likely to die sooner. Gender basis for rates vary by states. MA prohibits having different rates based on gender.
In states that DO allow different rates based on gender, it's because they've found a corrolation between claims payout and gender – just like they charge more for 16 year old drivers, and just like they charge more for someone with 2 DUI's.
It's all about the numbers. If there wasn't a corrolation, the states' insurance departments wouldn't allow the rate difference.
The rate charged by insurance companies is based upon actuarial data gathered from all the previous claims paid out. Among the factors are claims frequency & severity ($$s paid), driving history, age, gender, marital status and residence. Some companies also consider credit report , but usually only matters if really bad credit.
Marital status only has an affect on rates until age 21 for women & 25 for men. Some companies vary from this a little.
Some of the reasons why certain factors are responsible for more claims might be debatable such as married people don't party as much….singles are party animals. Easy to joke about, but most married folks do stay home more, or come home earlier even if partying.
The numbers don't lie tho, younger, singles, especially we guys have more accidents. Doesn't apply to everyone, but insurance is all about averages. Some new teenage drivers will never have an accident…..most of them will, so rates are highest for them.
There's many criterias insurance companies factors in for price. Here are a few (in no particular order)…
- Driving record
- Age
- Years licensed
- Vehicle
- Zip code
Some companies will specialize in certain risks. For example, Company A specializes in younger drivers while Company B specializes in older drivers, and the prices reflect that. They usually file with the state's Department of Insurance, and the insurance company will state their case to them, and the DOI will determine whether the pricing is fair for other carriers to compete with.

Insurance companies are trying to control their bottom line a little better due to the downturn of the stock market and the loss of investment income.
They are now "tightening their belts" and actually UNDERWRITING new applications in an attempt to make money based on UNDERWRITING profits – and not just CASH FLOW investments.
I don't see it affecting actual rates for the immediate future, it just might affect what a company WILL insure and what they WON'T.
Good luck and I hope this helps!
the best way to compare and get the best you can is to call a local independent agent in your area. stay away from quoting yourself online unless you are an agent or REALLY understand insurance. most sites will come back with a different premium once you actually take out the policy and its usually not to your advantage. having an actual person locally is ALWAYS a good idea.
if you have a not-at-fault accident your rates won't go up so long as your insurer isn't paying out.
In any case where your insurer has to pay out you might get a premium increase.
Some of them might let you have the first one off but ask them first.
As to "why" they do it, well…. if you claim you claim, to them you are higher risk than someone who *never claimed*.
Welcome to the club! We have tried a few and changed to one that saved us over $1500.00 per year. We tried all the others and got so many quotas it made our head spin. So for the last 5 years we have been with AARP Hartford Ins. We have two boys on the policy, one 21 and the other is 17 with three cars. The type of car has very little to do with insurance rates. It is mostly figured on the people driving. A good example of this is to indicate that if you rent a vehicle and you contact your insurance company they will tell you not to buy the extra insurance because you "YOU" are insured and therefore what ever your policy is will cover you in the rental. Our policy for 3 cars and 4 drivers; Mon, dad, boy 21 and boy 17 with AARP in the State of Texas is just under $1500.00 a year. Progressive wanted over $1500.00 a year to one boy. With AARP you will have to become a member and the fee there is $12.00 — well spent money..
Every company has accident forgivness Allstate jsut has a clever marketing campaign. If you have speeding tickets it does depend on your age and what you drive. If your a younger person your gonna find it hard to find a good rate anywhere. If you over 25 you can try pretty much anywhere if all you have is a few speeding tickets.
Good luck in your search
Depends on age, previous history and also if the company your with has an 'accident forgiveness' clause.
Yes, any 'at fault' accident can raise your rates.
your friend is right, its a myth. your rates get lower the longer you are licensed and have a clean driving record.
Its not a huge amount if anything, but if your score is very low it may mean the difference between getting insurance or not. In insurance companies minds (and proven statistics) the people with poor credit scores make other poor life decisions and are more likely to be in an accident.
Nope, it doesn't effect the rates.
whether you're against it or not, it's a factor. and sorry, i dont know of ANY companies out there that don't use it. i know about 99% use credit scores, so good luck finding the one or two that havent jumped on that wagon… yet.
There's a good chance that you'll be paying more. Good thing is that you'll be on that policy to negate his surcharges (meaning your discounts will at least lower the effects of his surcharges) and you'll be getting a married discount. Also if either of you are under 25, you both automatically start getting the rates for people over that age. There's a good chance that you won't be paying TOO much more, but the best thing to do is just check.
You don't want to do anything daft like.. exclude him. That would mean that if he had to use the vehicles, he'd be doing so illegally and wouldn't be covered to drive those vehicles at all.
