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

CLEVELAND--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 companys "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.
