Step 1. Understand What Affects Your Rates
Know which facts make a difference. Your driving record, annual mileage and the number of years licensed are the three most important factors for California insurance rates. Your home address is also important, but Proposition 103 keeps rates relatively lower in urban areas. Some insurance companies ask about your education, occupation, or grades in college. And, the coverage, deductibles, and safety features of the cars you drive will determine your final rate.
