Why Choose Insurance Providers?
You choose insurance providers because each company can price the exact same coverage very differently.
Why do insurance rates vary from company to company? Isn’t there a standard so we can all have the same coverage?
Insurance companies calculate policy premiums differently as there is no set standard which every one can agree on. While most are calculated using similar variables - past risk assumptions and actuarial equations - they do carry small variances which lead to large differences in monetary costs.
Past risk assumption is what some may refer to as trends the company has seen based on it’s own experiences with individuals representing the same characteristics as you. These trends are usually found based on set parameters such as age, location, habits, family history and past behavior.
Actuaries take these trends and either implement them into the equation or associate them with the equation used to generate policy premiums. The final equation should vary between companies, placing more weight in factors that they deem more important.
Insurance companies, after all, are in the business to make money and if your factors indicate you are a high-risk individual, then your potential to cost the company more money rises, compelling them to raise your premium prices.
