Insurance companies have a certain “appetite” for the type of driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a preferred risk might be profiled as between the ages of 30 and 50, has no prior claims, and has a short commute. A driver who matches those parameters will qualify for the lowest rates and as a result will probably save a lot of money.
Potential insureds who don’t meet the “perfect” profile will have to pay higher rates which leads to the driver buying from a lower-cost company. Company advertisements say “people who switch” not “people who quote” save money. That’s why companies can truthfully make those claims. Because of the profiling, you need to get a wide range of price quotes. It’s just too difficult to predict which company will fit your personal profile best.

It’s important to understand that some of the credits will not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as liability, collision or medical payments. So when the math indicates all the discounts add up to a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.
