Preguntas Frecuentes

Does my credit score affect car insurance rates everywhere?

No—in California, Hawaii, and Massachusetts, it's banned for auto and home. 47 states plus D.C. allow it, with 92-95% of insurers using CBIS.

What's the difference between my FICO score and credit-based insurance score?

FICO predicts loan repayment; CBIS predicts claims using payment history, debt, etc.—no income or demographics. They're similar but not identical.

How much can improving my credit save on insurance?

One tier up saves $355 (17%) yearly; poor to average saves $489 (18%). Exceptional credit drivers pay $1,421 less than poor.

Can insurers deny me coverage for bad credit?

Rarely—they charge higher premiums instead. Appeal if due to illness, divorce, etc.—they must review.

How do I check my credit-based insurance score?

Request free disclosure from your insurer at application/renewal. Use annualcreditreport.com for underlying data.

How long until credit fixes lower my insurance rates?

Typically 3-6 months. Post-bankruptcy, wait 1 year for best rates.
