May 20, 2015; In addition to being the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day is also the year’s busiest weekend for car sales and the kick-off to a three-month period in which 27 percent of all annual car sales are recorded. That number may be even bigger this year, given record-low interest rates according to WalletHub’s Q2 Auto Financing Report. With that in mind, WalletHub continued its analysis of the car insurance landscape in search of insights that may help consumers make more informed decisions when they hit the car lot.

As we reported in our California Car Insurance Landscape Report, car insurance premiums are driven by a number of factors — including your driving record and experience, city of residence, the historical characteristics of drivers in your area and even your choice of vehicle. This report focuses on how car insurance premiums vary depending on the type, age, cost and make of the car you buy.
