[{"type":"text","content":"Resource provides accurate estimates in five easy steps\n\n\nFOSTER CITY, Calif., June 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Finding the right car insurance, and knowing how much to buy, can be a confusing process for many drivers. To simplify this process, CarInsurance.com, a one-stop destination for unbiased, expert advice on car insurance, shares an auto insurance estimator tool that gives drivers baseline costs calculated from their specific profile.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe car insurance estimator is available here: Car Insurance Estimator - How to estimate car insurance in 2021. \n\n \"We designed our car insurance estimator with a goal of making it easy to conduct research into potential policy rates,\" explains CarInsurance editorial director Michelle Megna. \"In five simple steps, drivers can get estimated auto insurance rates for three coverage levels, based on their personal profile. Consumers can compare rates as often as they like, with no need to share their contact information.\"\n\n \n Factors affecting insurance rates\n \n\n CarInsurance outlines common factors that can impact the amount drivers pay for insurance.\n\n \n \n Type of car.\n Insurance companies charge based on the type of car drivers have and the average rates by vehicle in 2021 were:\n\n \n Vans; $1,443\n Trucks; $1,684\n SUVs; $1,729\n Tesla Model 3; $2,917\n Teslas (all models): $2,838\n Cars; $2,164\n Convertibles; $2,427\n \n \n \n Experience.\n Many parents add teenage drivers to their policy and CarInsurance data shows this can lead to significant rate hikes. Gender at this early age can also affect rates. Adding a 16-year-old girl to a policy can increase car insurance by 125% ($1,872) on average annually, while adding a 16-year-old boy can hike rates by 160% ($2,292).\n\n \n \n Marital status.\n Married couples can save 8% to 15% on their car insurance policies, as well as receive discounts when they combine their policies.\n\n \n \n Driving record.\n Both major and minor violations can affect the cost of insurance. Drivers who have minor violations, like speeding tickets, can see rate increases of 20% to 43% and those with major violations, such as DUIs, can receive at least 80% rate hikes.\n\n \n \n Mileage.\n Since driving less means people have a lower risk of being in an accident, mileage plays a role in how much insurance companies charge.
