And every insurer values each factor differently, so any two companies may give you widely different quotes. Generally, though, you’ll get the cheapest rates with a clean driving record and good to excellent credit.Here’s an example of how rates can vary among insurers for the same driver profile. The table below shows average quotes for a 40-year-old female driver in Texas with a clean driving record and good credit."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How often should you compare car insurance quotes?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Since comparing car insurance quotes doesn’t cost anything, you can do it as often as you like to check the rates in your area.

For example, a 40-year-old female driver with a clean record will probably see cheaper rates than her 16-year-old male next-door neighbor.At a market level, traffic congestion and accident rates where you live can increase rates for everyone in the area.But even national-level events can affect your car insurance costs.
