Read full article: Surprising factors in how your car insurance rates are set

In most states, you’re required by law to carry car insurance. A new Consumer Reports investigation reveals that what you pay for insurance often involves a lot more than just your driving record. It found that three major auto insurance companies-- Geico, Progressive, and Liberty Mutual -- quoted higher average premiums to consumers who had less education. The average consumer shopping for insurance has no idea which factors companies are using to set their rates.

No-fault insurance repeal teed up in Senate

Read full article: No-fault insurance repeal teed up in Senate

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The latest effort to end Florida’s no-fault auto insurance system will get its first Senate hearing next week. The proposal seeks to replace the requirement motorists carry personal-injury protection coverage -- key to the no-fault system -- with mandatory bodily injury coverage. Senate President Wilton Simpson, a Trilby Republican who is backing the elimination of no-fault, said personal-injury protection coverage is “outdated” and doesn’t protect consumers. Under the no-fault system, drivers are required to carry personal-injury protection, or PIP, coverage to help pay medical bills after accidents. Disputes about the bad-faith issue have stalled past legislative efforts to end the no-fault system.
