First Time Driver Insurance Washington DC
Reader’s Question:
My brother who is based in Washington, DC finally obtained his driver’s license just in time because my mother gave him a new car in his birthday. Now he plans to immediately insure his car for him to use in his work. What factors do insurers consider before lending us car insurance?

One of the important factors I can give you is your brother’s age and gender. Many insurers believe to what previous facts have shown that males and young-aged are more prone to car collisions than females and middle-aged. Moreover, young men are statistically involved in more roadway accidents than middle-aged women.
Since Washington DC is one of the metropolises of US, the place where your brother is using his car matters significantly to insurers. Insurers follow their insurance rates proportionally to the chances of roadway accidents that may occur in a particular place. Washington DC’s highways have many cars and are sometimes risky during the winter season, so expect that insurers in Washington, DC will offer higher rates.
But your brother’s driving history, which is also a significant factor for insurers, may affect your brother’s policy rate. Since your brother is a first time driver, he is expected to have committed no roadway violations yet; hence, he may be given cheaper rate than other drivers. Further, the usage of your brother’s car also matters to insurers. Since you said that it will be used for employment then your brother drives for longer distance compared to a mother who just uses a car to go to and for grocery stores so he may have higher rate.
