A lot of people are aware of the fact that car insurance rates are often cheaper for female drivers. Although popular stereotypes might depict women as bad drivers, statistics win out in the end, especially among car insurance companies. According to research, for a woman cheap car driver insurance is more possible because they get into fewer accidents than do men. This is mostly the case in the more high risk ages, when people are still under the age of twenty five.

Men are more likely than women to be involved in an automobile accident involving a fatality, just as they are also more likely to be ticketed for things such as speeding and drunk driving. However, there is some light at the end of the road for the guys in this group. Later studies show that women are actually getting into more car accidents these days, while men are getting into less. They still don’t get into the same amount, statistically, but the gap is closing. A few years from now it may be the case that the genders will see no difference in their car insurance quotes. At least not for that reason.

However, over the high risk age of twenty five, the effect of gender on car insurance premiums lessens. The reason for this is that, for those over this age, the statistics are pretty much equal, just as they are becoming for those under it. So, while there is a benefit in being female when buying car insurance, it only works for you if your still in your early twenties or below. This can be a great relief for women buying auto insurance policies while having to deal with high risk young group prices, since for females insurance is only 100% more than the average policy for an older person, while for males it is 200%.

Reader question:

Do car insurance companies insure the same types of drivers?

Anne

Nope.

Most drivers fall into a risk pool called standard, and this is what most car insurance companies provide coverage for with no hassles. An average driver is someone who perhaps, over the course of their life, has gotten a few tickets (but not too many) and possibly one no fault accident, someone who has a car that is considered safe and whose qualities, such as age and so on, would put them in a class that is not likely to get into an at fault traffic accident. These people are fairly cheap to insure, and most insurance companies have no problem doing so. To find out how easily you an get insurance, try getting a cheap free auto insurance quote and you’ll see which group you fall in.

Then there are the preferred drivers. These are accepted by all insurance companies, and have no problem to get free auto insurance quotes that are cheap and acceptable. Preferred drivers are people at the top, who have perfect driving record, no accident history, are in demographic groups that are unlikely to get into car accidents and the like. They are extremely cheap to insure, and so these companies usually have lower car insurance premiums.

Then there are those at the end of the scale, who for some reason or another are considered very high risks. It could be because they have a specialty car, or it could be because of a DUI violation or several speeding tickets. Whatever the case, there are special companies that offer car insurance to people who are considered high risk. These companies tend to be pricier.

However, there are some people who are unable to get insured with any of these companies because of just how high risk they are. If this is the case, there are risk pools in every state which assign them to a company for a much higher price than a normal car insurance policy will be.

Will My Car Insurance Company Pay If I Get Sued After a Car Accident?

Reader question:

If I have car insurance, then I can’t get sued, right?

Rupert

Wrong.

Unfortunately, the possession of an auto insurance policy does not keep you from getting sued in the event of an accident. There are some states where you cannot be sued, and these are called no fault states. In those states, suing is prohibited for car accidents regardless of who is at fault. Most states, however, are tort law states, and some even have a mixture of no fault and tort law, so depending where you live the answer to this question could be different.

On the bright side, if you do get sued you aren’t exactly just left in the lurch. Having car insurance, you will be provided with the money and resources from your policy to help you defend yourself against the lawsuit, so it is definitely advisable to be insured on your auto for that protection and much, much more. Always get a free auto insurance quote so you can find out which car insurance company offers you the best help for the best price.
