Auto Insurance policy comes with its Costs and there are two primary costs involved in car insurance policy buying. There are premiums and deductibles.

Auto insurance premium is the cost that is stipulated by the insurer to be paid upfront by the insured for its car converge.

When it comes to car insurance premiums it varies according to the insured gender, years of driving experience, age, accident moving violation history etc.

The requirements for car insurance differs from state to state. Some states might just need the minimum amount of auto insurance. However, you can still buy extra insurance policy to protect yourself further.


Higher premium will come with poor driving record. But you can have a reduced premiums if you take on more risk by paying out of your pocket which means increasing your deductible.

So deductible on the other hand is the amount one have to pay when filing a claim before the insurer will pay out anything to the insured

The truth is that agreeing to a higher deductible can bring about a lower premium. However, you'd have to be sure you could cover the higher amount if you need to file a claim. But in the long run it will pay off if you have deductible in place.
