* Vehicle make and model: The safety features, repair costs, and theft rates associated with a specific car model heavily influence premiums.
* Driver's history: This is the biggest factor. Your age, driving record (accidents, tickets), and credit score all play a significant role.
* Location: Where you live affects insurance rates due to variations in crime rates, accident frequency, and repair costs.
* Coverage type: The level of coverage you choose (liability, collision, comprehensive, etc.) directly impacts your premium.
While the *color* of a car might *seem* like a factor, it's not statistically significant enough to be a determining element in insurance pricing. The idea that red cars are more expensive to insure is largely a myth.
