A Woman's Insurance Buying Guide

Save On Your Car Insurance with an Insurance Friendly Vehicle

Women often feel vulnerable when purchasing a car because they sometimes think they will be taken advantage of in the car buying process. As a woman, if you feel like you can't haggle a price or just don't like to, you can at least purchase a car that will give you a low car insurance rate. And, because of the characteristics of insurance friendly vehicles, they are often the less expensive cars to buy anyhow. So, if you are a woman looking into getting a car insurance quote for a new vehicle, make sure to consider first what car you want to buy.

The cost of a car insurance quote should be at the top of the list when a woman is considering the total price of purchasing a new vehicle. Just because she buys a smaller, cheaper car does not insure a cheaper insurance rate. And, although car insurance for women tends to be cheaper than for a man, a woman's driving history is another of many factors that are considered when determining a car insurance rate. Characteristics of the vehicle being purchased plays a large role in insurance costs.

Below is a list of features or types of vehicles to avoid to get the best stretch out of your insurance buck.

For a Cheaper Car Insurance Quote Stay Away From:

Vehicles With a Lot of Horsepower

Sports Cars

High Performance Vehicles

Luxury Vehicles

Vehicles With Added Technology Features

Large SUV's

Very Small Vehicles

Vehicles With a High Theft History (Go to nicb.org for theft history information)

Station wagons and vans are the best choices---not to big to cause large amounts of damage to the other car but big enough to cause less damage to their own passengers and, in addition, both have lower repair costs and less theft history.
