State Auto Insurance Rates

You will most likely find cheaper car insurance rates in Billings, Montana vs big cities like Los Angeles or New York even for the same make and model of a car since these areas have much higher rates of auto theft, vandalism and other events which lead to a higher risk of drivers filing a future claim.

However, statistics change frequently and car insurance companies adjust the formula for calculating auto insurance premiums often. Almost all states have minimum car insurance requirements so even just moving to another state with higher minimum requirements may automatically increase your premiums.

The only way to learn about the cost of car insurance in a particular area is to contact local car insurance companies and compare car insurance quotes from multiple providers.
