Sometimes, there are factors that can influence your monthly premium in ways you might not expect. Some of them are:

How does my marital status affect my auto insurance rates in Mobile, AL?

For single policies, marital status is a negligible factor when determining your premiums. However, married couples have the option of bundling their policies together. Most insurance providers will offer substantial discounts for this.

How does my gender affect my auto insurance rates in Mobile, AL?

Gender has almost no substantial influence on your monthly rate. Many companies don’t charge different premiums based on gender at all. And for those that still do, the rate rarely fluctuates beyond a 2-3 percent price difference.

How does my commute affect car insurance quotes in Mobile, AL?

Traffic in Mobile can get pretty hairy, with the average motorist spending over 30 minutes in traffic each way. Despite the horrible work commute, only about 12% of workers carpool to the office each day.

Driving fewer miles each year, or reserving your vehicle for trips to and from work only, won’t save you much on your monthly rates.

The only thing which will influence your price is whether or not you designate your vehicle as “for business” use. Business vehicles are typically charged 10-12 percent more each month.

How do my coverage level and deductible affect my insurance rates in Mobile, AL?

Getting all the coverage you need can be expensive. That’s why some companies will charge you less per month if you agree to raise your deductible. However, be sure to save a little money away in case of an emergency if you choose to go this route.
