There are several factors that affect your premiums to go up or go down:

1. Driving Record. Were you able to maintain a clean driving record? If you have, then you’re up for a discount.

2. Age. Are you less than 25 years old? If you are then, you’re just up for higher premiums. Auto insurance companies offer higher rates to younger drivers because they are often involved in vehicular accidents as compared to older drivers.

3. Type of car. Are you driving a sports car? a fancy car? If you are, then you might want to consider getting an inexpensive car first. The higher the value of a car, the higher the rate for it to be insured.

4. Driving Miles. Do you drive more? If your driving miles is less than 10,000 miles per year then you’ll surely get lower rates. The more driving miles an insured driver has, the higher the risk of getting in an accident so the higher your premiums will be.

5. Your place of residence. Do you live in a rural area? If yes, then you’ll have lower rate. Insured drivers who live in urban areas are more prone to be involved in accidents and thefts as compared to a peaceful place like in rural areas.

Those are just some of the factors which can help you determine if you’ll get cheap car insurance rates or not. Don’t forget to check websites to compare auto insurance rates. I hope you’ll find the best insurance that will work for you.
