Car insurance companies use age as an estimator of risk, assigning rates accordingly. A car insurance policy is commonly most expensive for young drivers — due to their inexperience — and relatively affordable for drivers aged 25 or older. Because every car insurance company prices ages differently, it's wise to compare rates and find a great fit.

| Recent Questions | Can I bundle my renters and new car insurance? We have several companies that will be able to fit your needs. At this time, we do not quote renters insurance on our site but we can quote you with our agency. Does roadside assistance cover people not on your policyI haven't heard of a roadside assistance program that doesn't extend to anyone using the vehicle that has been given permission to do so. While most companies prefer any driver using the vehicle to be listed on the policy, they do have previsions in the policy that extend to infrequent users. Customer service for AAA roadside assistance only versus AAA auto insurance?Insurance companies are regulated at a state commissioner level and in theory are supposed to be neutral. But, it's hard to say for sure any being is entirely neutral. What do I do if my vehicle was totaled while parked?I would definitely involve your insurance company and let them know about the situation. The other driver's insurance company should be paying for your damage up to the limit of that policy, but if it doesn't cover everything then your current company should be able to help cover the rest.
