Generally, the more expensive the car, the more you pay. Where you drive. Drivers tend to have more losses if they live where there’s a high rate of accidents or vandalism. Generally, urban drivers pay more for insurance than those in small towns or rural areas. How much you drive. The chance of an accident generally increases as driving increases.
