Can parking tickets affect car insurance?
I have several parking tickets. Do these affect my insurance rates?
Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“While you may want to think about finding a new parking ideology, parking tickets do not affect your
car insurance
. You receive parking tickets from your city or town. Due to this, they don’t report parking tickets to the state DMV.However, parking tickets can impact your rate if left unpaid. When you don’t pay parking tickets, you often face additional fines and fees. If you don’t pay these fees or don’t show up for court, it could be reported to the DMV.
If this happens, you may face a license suspension or receive points on your driving record. These would typically influence your car insurance rates. To avoid this from happening, pay your parking tickets on time. While parking tickets are insanely frustrating, leaving them unpaid can cause you significant issues in the future.
Although parking tickets may not impact your insurance rates, you may want to consider checking your car insurance regularly just to make sure. If your rate goes up, use the
