Unfair Insurance

VIDEO: Unfair Insurance

QUICK THOUGHT: Many factors go into determining the amount you pay for car insurance, such as your gender, age, driving record, and car make and model. But the most surprising factor that can affect your rate is, believe it or not, your zip code. Where you live makes a difference in the amount you pay for your auto insurance. If you live in a highly urban, lower-income neighborhood, you are far more likely to have a higher insurance premium. Not only does the type of neighborhood you live in make a difference (urban vs. suburban, lower- vs. upper-income levels), but where in the state your city is could affect your insurance rate as well (North, South, East, West).
