Who Is Considered A High-Risk Driver By Car Insurance Companies

PR Web

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) April 29, 2021

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains from what reasons car insurance companies consider some drivers as high-risk.

Drivers should avoid being classified as high-risk by insurance companies. The premiums paid by high-risk drivers can be very high, and especially for those who are required to carry full coverage. Usually, persons who are more likely to cause accidents are considered high-risk.

High-risk drivers are classified as such for the following reasons:

  • Drivers with major traffic violations. Drivers who are involved in at-fault accidents or they are caught driving while being intoxicated are very likely to be considered high-risk by the insurance providers.
  • Drivers who have both tickets and at-fault accidents. One traffic violation is enough for a driver to be considered at a higher risk than someone with none. Some insurers offer special options that will forgive one or a few tickets and accidents. Drivers that are filing claims are more likely to be considered high-risk. In some cases, the insurance rates will go up even if a driver completes a claim for a no-fault accident. All of these unpleasant premium increases can be avoided by drivers if they purchase accident forgiveness.
  • Drivers with no prior insurance. Drivers who just purchased their insurance are considered high-risk. To get rid of this label, new drivers need to be continuously insured for at least six months.
  • Bad credit score. One of the most important factors used by the insurers in order to determine the driver's insurance premiums is the credit score. Drivers with a really poor credit score are considered high-risk by the insurance providers.
  • Teen drivers. The statistics show that teen drivers are more likely to be involved in car accidents. For this reason, insurance carriers classify teen drivers as high-risk.
