Car Insurance Rates Continue to Decline in 2007, Reports Insurance.com



Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 17, 2007 -

Insurance.com, the largest online auto insurance agency in the United States, reports that car insurance rates continue to decrease depending on geographical location. The company’s “2007 Mid-Year Auto Insurance Pricing Report” shows a national decline in annual premiums of 1% or approximately $ 20 so far in 2007.

Based upon data drawn from the lowest average car insurance rates viewed by almost 700,000 consumers in the first half of 2007, the Mid-Year Report gives interesting insights into state-specific pricing trends, as well as the general trends of insurance premiums.

“So far in 2007, we have seen a 1% decrease in car insurance rates from 2006,” says David Roush, CEO of Insurance.com. “The national average premium in 2006 was $ 1,916, in 2007 that average has dropped to $ 1,896 – a modest decline but a nice reprieve considering the rising cost of gas.”

“Prices still vary considerably on a case-by-case basis, so it’s essential to compare rates before making a purchase. Insurance.com makes it easy for consumers to compare rates and buy the policy that’s right for them, either online or over the phone with knowledgeable licensed agents.”
