Car insurance
carriers look at a variety of factors when determining rates. Your driving record, age, prior insurance, and vehicle model can all have an impact on your rate. Living in a large city also means you will often pay more than a driver in a quiet suburban neighborhood.
Look up the
average car insurance cost
in Seattle and see where you fall. If you are paying significantly more than the average for your car insurance, it may be time to shop around. By comparison shopping, you’ll be able to find the most affordable rate for the coverage you want.
