- Driving Record: A clean driving history typically results in lower premiums, while violations or accidents can increase costs.

Recommendations:
- Compare Quotes: Obtain quotes from multiple insurers to find the best rate tailored to your specific circumstances.
- Assess Coverage Needs: While liability-only coverage meets minimum legal requirements, consider whether additional coverage options are necessary based on your personal situation and the value of your vehicles.
- Consider Discounts: Inquire about available discounts, such as those for safe driving records, bundling multiple vehicles, or installing safety features.
