"Our State Median Rate Report gives readers a good sense of where drivers are paying the most for car insurance," said Brad Cooper, Senior Vice President of Operations at InsWeb. "But it's important to remember that just because a state has a high median rate does not necessarily mean that car insurance in that state is expensive for all residents. Factors such as vehicle make and model influence rates significantly. So in states where residents tend to drive more expensive vehicles, it's not uncommon to see higher insurance rates."
"InsWeb's Car Insurance Affordability Index, which we'll release again soon, takes a closer look at this phenomenon," he added.
