Factors Affecting Auto Insurance Costs

| Vehicle Type | Average Monthly Cost |

Example Calculation
Let's calculate the insurance for a 2018 Toyota Camry with these details:
- Vehicle type: Sedan
- Vehicle age: 5 years
- Annual mileage: 12,000 miles
- Coverage: Liability + Collision
- Driving record: Good
- Driver age: 35
- Gender: Male
Formula used:
Base Rate = Vehicle Type Factor × Age Factor × Mileage Factor
Coverage Adjustment = Base Rate × Coverage Multiplier
Driving Record Adjustment = Coverage Adjustment × Driving Record Multiplier
Final Premium = Driving Record Adjustment × Age/Gender Factor
Using these factors, the estimated monthly premium would be approximately $145.
