  • Thanks a lot for your post. I’d really like to write my opinion that the price of car insurance differs a lot from one plan to another, mainly because there are so many different facets which bring about the overall cost. One example is, the make and model of the car will have a huge bearing on the charge. A reliable aged family auto will have a less expensive premium than just a flashy performance car.
