Wondering how credit scores impact car insurance rates?

Like your credit score, most car companies have a score that can help determine the risk of insuring you. It’s called an insurance score and helps calculate your insurance premium. Your driving record, where you live, and even your credit score can be influential factors.

While car insurers might look at your score a little different than lenders would, a low credit score could mean that you’ll pay higher premiums.
