What Does It Mean If an Auto Insurer Utilizes Household Ratings?

Posted on December 21, 2022December 21, 2022 by admin

Technology makes it easier than ever for auto insurance companies to rate drivers and rate individuals who live in the same home. The ratings are then used to help determine how much you should pay in auto insurance premiums. One of the tools that are becoming more and more common is a tool called household ratings.

At Partners Insurance & Financial Services Inc., serving the greater Huntington, WV area, we have had clients ask what household ratings are and why insurance companies use them. Keep reading to find the answer to this question. 

What Does It Mean If an Auto Insurer Utilizes Household Ratings?

When an auto insurer uses a household rating system, they assess every driver over the age of 18 who lives at one address. They determine how many accidents or tickets each of those drivers has had recently, and then they base your policy premiums on this. The logic behind this is that you and those who live with you may share vehicles. 

What If You Don’t Agree With the Household Rating System? 

If you have a driver at your residence who has a bad driving record, they can cause the insurance company to provide you with a rating that causes your rates to skyrocket. However, most insurance companies will allow you to exclude the bad driver from your policy, meaning that that driver will not be covered if they drive your car. This helps to ensure your auto insurance rate is set based on your driving record, not your household driving record.

Technology has changed the way that auto insurance companies decide how much someone will pay for auto insurance. However, this does not mean that you have to pay more than you should for auto insurance. If you are looking for fair and reasonably priced auto insurance in the greater Huntington, WV area, the agents at Partners Insurance & Financial Services Inc. can help you find a new auto insurance policy. Call us now to get started.
