About this calculator

A rough rate estimator using simplified multiplicative factors. Real underwriting uses many more (vehicle, mileage, marital status, occupation, education in some states), but age, credit, territory, and driving history are the four largest factors. This gets you within ±20% of an actual quote in most cases.

Frequently asked

Why does credit matter?+
Statistically correlates with claim frequency. Some states (CA, HI, MA) prohibit using credit; most allow it heavily.
Can I lower my rate?+
Improve credit, drive less, take defensive driving course, raise deductible, bundle with home insurance, switch carriers every 2-3 years.
How accurate is this?+
Within ±20% of actual quote for most. Specific carriers weight factors differently — shop around for the best fit to your profile.
Why are 25-and-under so expensive?+
Statistically much higher accident rates per mile driven. Tapers around 25 and stays low until ~65.
Is teen-driver coverage included in my policy?+
Add a teen as a covered driver — premium typically jumps 30-100%. Worth checking annually.
