Car Insurance Quotes Affected by Economy

Industry expert and the Insurance Information Institute's Senior Vice President, Steven Weisbert, gave a presentation last month which highlights the rise in car insurance quotes over the past three years. This disappointing information is detailed in the article "Report: Car Insurance Price Trends Are Out of Sync with Economy" by Ben Zitney found on OnlineAutoInsurance.com.

Weisbert believes the auto insurance market started struggling at the end of 2007 after four consecutive years of dropping car insurance rates. The national average costs on car insurance coverage has increased steadily for three years now which is directly affecting stuggling consumers in this down ecomony. The report shows an approximate increase of 12% from '07 to '10 and this is causing huge impacts on families.

The presentation "Mega-Trends Influencing the Future of Auto Insurance" by Weisbert was addressed back in October 2010 at the National Auto Insurance ExecuSummit in Connecticut. Not only did it go over many new trends in the industry, but it helped to explain some of the increases in car insurance rates over time. Now more than ever, consumers should be shopping around to compare car insurance rates since there can be large variations in prices from insurer to insurer.
