According to the Iowa Insurance Division (IID) factors such as the type of car you drive, the primary driver of the car and where the vehicle is garaged can affect rates. But the main factor that car insurance companies look at is your driving record.
The state also allow insurance companies look at your credit history when you apply for new car insurance. So if you have bad credit record, this may greatly affect your car insurance rate in Iowa..
Other than credit record, insurance companies also look at the age, type of operator (occasional or principal driver) and car mileage for all households members. Young drivers pay more for their car insurance compared to mature, experienced drivers
Your rate is influenced by where you garage your car. If you live in large cities and suburbs typically you will pay more than those living in rural areas because there is a greater chance of car accidents and car thefts when there are a lot of vehicles.
