CLEVELAND, OH – October 23, 2007 - Insurance.com, the largest online auto insurance agency in the United States, reports that car insurance rates are continuing to decrease depending on geographical location. The company’s "2007 Third Quarter Auto Insurance Pricing Report" indicates that the national decline in annual premiums has continued with a 1.5% decrease in car insurance rates from 2006.

Based upon data drawn from the lowest average car insurance rates viewed by over 1 million auto insurance consumers in the Insurance.com 2007 platform through September 2007, the Third Quarter Report confirms that state-specific trends in pricing continue to be relevant.

"Currently, we’re seeing a national average premium of $1,887. That’s down from $1,917 in 2006, but it still varies considerably depending upon location and other factors, " says David Roush, CEO of Insurance.com.

"Because prices vary considerably on a case-by-case basis, it's essential to compare rates before making a purchase. Insurance.com makes it easy for consumers to compare rates and buy the auto insurance policy that's right for them, either online or over the phone with knowledgeable licensed auto insurance agents."
