How insurance company determine your insurance price
Location: This is a big one. States prone to natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes will see higher premiums. Even within a state, zip codes in flood plains or with high fire risk will cost more to insure.
Property characteristics: The value, age, size, and construction materials of your home can play a role. A newer, larger home built with expensive materials will generally cost more to insure than a smaller, older one.
Coverage amount: The amount of dwelling coverage you choose (the amount it would cost to rebuild your home) directly affects the premium. Higher coverage means a higher premium.
Deductible: This is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in. Choosing a higher deductible lowers your premium, but you’ll have to pay more upfront in the case of a claim.
Claims history: Having filed past claims can raise your rates or if neighbors’ filed claims.
Credit score: In some states, your credit score can be a factor in determining your premium. Generally, a good credit score can lead to a lower rate.
These are just some of the most common factors. Your insurance company may also consider other things like the presence of a pool, security features, and even the type of pets you own (ex: a dog’s breed).
