I
received my car insurance recently and I started to wonder how complex it is
for the insurance companies to make judgment about their clients based on age
and record of driving. And it is not just the car insurance but any kind of
insurance can be involved in this calculation. Car insurance is based on your
driving record and the age, for example if you have a perfect driving record
and you are in the mid fifties, your insurance will go down but here is the
dilemma, since at this age, most of the people who have kids add their teenage
kids to their insurance since the kids start driving around that time when
their parents are in the fifties and even if your own insurance goes down ,due
to the addition of your kids, the insurance shoots through the roof, since
teenagers are new to driving and they can easily be involved in more accidents
then the more matured ones.
In the
case of health insurance, initially your premium does not increase much since
you are young and healthy so you may not use health visits but once you get
old, you develop some diseases and constantly need health care which
drastically increase your insurance premium, completely opposite to the car
insurance premium. Something happens with life insurance as your initial
premium is less and it goes up as you get older. Home insurance depends upon
how much your home is worth and the location where you live, if it is high
crime area, your insurance will be high and vice versa. So just like life has
its up and down times so does the insurance premium you pay.
