What car you insure makes a big difference. Some also have higher safety ratings than others.

When car insurance in NYC went through the roof folks were registering and insuring their cars in nearby states like Pennsylvania where they had relatives living.

I can see that happening in Florida next.
Excellent points. I just did a search for average insurance rates for Kia Soul & then Honda CRV & for a good driver in Florida it looks like the Kia would run a little over $500 more than the Honda. (I didn't use years or trim - just general averages). I also didn't ask about credit rating, but the two tables generated provided it - & forget about it. Bad credit drives the rates up more than a thousand. Interesting. I never considered insurance rates when looking for a new car - I guess I should.
