Carriers perform detailed analyses of car safety characteristics and the frequency with which certain vehicles get into accidents. In addition, they will see which cars are more prone to theft. All of this gets factored into their pricing models. There are also a variety of personal factors that insurance companies take into account when offering you a quote. They will look at your driving safety record, your residence and your age.
