Is this age discrimination? Everyone knows that young people have to pay more for insurance than anyone else. I am a man of 19 years, and my driving record is spotless.
Take this example. My father is 56, and he also has a clean driving record. Insurance for him on a Mazda 1999 626 is $ 114 per month. For me, its $ 266. Now, why is that? If my driving record has been poor, I understand, but it is not. My stepfather on the other hand, does not have a good driving record, he had several accidents and tickets, but the insurance on the same car for him is only $ 133 per month. People say: "It's just because your young and a guy" and they say "thats just the way it is." Now, why is it just the way it is? For this question, it could be sex discrimination case. And if you know, all these prices have been removed from www.progressivedirect.com. I think we should have the same benefits as everyone else. Of course, the type of coverage will affect the price, but we should have the same options.
It is frightening, unfair and discriminatory frankly, I agree. For every good conductor below the age group at high risk insurable group male drivers, 20 the other bad. Vouchers are financially punished for sins of their age group.
There are many changes that occur. In some countries in the world, the original insurance rates are down. Everyone starts with a clean slate, although slightly higher. The penalties for bad behavior simply moves with all the injuries and damages to the insured vehicle. Fair?
premium for my husband will not until after you turn 25. My thought it would be less when he got married (at 23), but this is not how insurance companies see it.
Insurance companies use statistics to determine the price, you're in a high risk population.
Insurance companies are all about risk and we must all fall into one category or another. The age and sex of the driver calculates the risk. Young men are paying extremely high rates because, statistically, they are very likely to get in an accident. Me'm not an actuary and I do not know actual statistics are that men in this age group there are something like a 75% chance that the insurance company will pay a duty on them.
At 19, you're probably paying less than a 16 year old and you will probably see a rate cut again to about 21, 25 and 30, unless you get married before then. Yes, the factors in the risk of marriage, as well.
There is usually a reduced rate at 50 years and the premium for one year 50 old is lower than that of a man of 40 years. At 75, if you see the rate increases again.
Besides the vehicle, your age and your driving record, other factors that influence your premium is your address and your credit score. It was determined that people with low credit or no credit are more likely to file a claim. How much is it factors in your premium depends on the insurance company. The longer you stay with one company can affect your premium, too. Many companies offer discounts for accident free, discounts on multiple lines, mutli-car discounts, etc.
With young people, classes can make a big difference. Typically, discounts are granted to students who maintain a grade average of B. The reason is that they are statistically less likely to crash into a young person who is not maintaining a B average
We've all been in the pilot of "young" category at one time or another.
So to answer your questions, insurance-wise, you can get the same benefits as the father of your 50 + years, but you'll pay more for the same benefits. Currently, you can both spotless driving records and the same address, but you do not have years of driving experience that he does and therefore are not the same risk.
insurance.
