How to Control Insurance Rates
A 20 year old girl who lives in New York City is looking for auto insurance on her 2010 Ford Mustang. She is getting frustrated because she cannot find any insurance policies that she can afford. Variables affecting her insurance rate include:
- her age (younger people have higher rates)
- her residency (there is more chance of an accident or theft in NYC, so her rates go up more)
- the age/model of her car (her car is relatively new and it is a smaller, nicer car; this causes her rates to soar)
