According to the
Vermont Department of Insurance, insurance rates in the
state are not regulated. This means prices and premium
cost may vary from company to company. Your premium rate
will be determined by your classification rating,
which is essentially a value judgment on how risky an
investment you are to your Vermont car insurance
company.
Your
classification rating will be determined by some of the
following factors:
Driving
Record—if you have had no accidents or traffic
violations in three years (or up to five years,
depending on the company), you will receive a lower
premium than those with negative marks.
Where You
Live—residents living in urban areas are
statistically at a higher risk for accident and
theft and will therefore pay higher premiums for
Vermont car insurance.
Who Drives
the Car—the age, sex and driving experience of
the drivers in your household will affect your
premium.
Use of the
Car—driving excessive distances to work or
school increases your risk for accident, therefore,
you may pay more for Vermont car insurance.
Make and
Model of the Car—insurers will use data such as
the price of your car when new, repair cost and how
popular the car is with crooks to determine your
car's "experience rating", which will affect how
much you pay for Vermont car insurance.
Be sure your agent
discusses these factors with you before purchasing
Vermont car insurance. And as always, check your
