A: Something did change, and it was something very important that you’re forgetting–you moved. Location is a huge factor when you’re getting rated for an Atlanta SR-22 car insurance quote, and it’s why whenever you call somewhere for a quote or fill a form out online, the first question you are asked is what your zip code is. Your exact address doesn’t matter, but the general location does.

Different settings will bring different Atlanta SR-22 car insurance prices. I’m going to take a wild guess and say you used to live outside of Atlanta, maybe in the suburbs or in a more rural area, and you moved closer into the city, maybe to the downtown area. Because of more traffic, narrower roads, and other factors, living in the city carries more risk than living in the country or the ‘burbs, so you pay more.

Also, you also have to factor in crime rates. If you have comprehensive coverage on your Atlanta SR-22 policy, then higher comprehensive claims from your area will also raise your price.

A: Unless you’re going from an extremely expensive somewhat used car to a more normal new car, then in most cases you will indeed pay more for your Columbus GA SR22 car insurance if you buy a new car. Even if you buy a used car you’ll pay more, because any car being financed is required to have an additional level of car insurance. This isn’t a law, but a requirement of the financers, and if you don’t get that additional coverage (i.e. comprehensive and collision coverage), then your financing company will be well within their rights to take your new car back.

Even if you buy your car all in one blow, you’ll still face higher Savannah SR22 car insurance prices if the car is new. This is because factors such as the value of the car being insured are taken into account when determining the rate. Some aspects of a newer car could lead you to a cheaper price, such as additional safety features and anti theft devices, or hybrid capabilities.
