In most states age, driving record and claims history can all be taken into consideration when an insurance carrier decides if they want to start up a car insurance policy with a potential insured or when it is time to renew an insurance policy.
To verify what your state permits concerning age, insurance providers and accidents I would suggest you contact your state’s insurance regulatory body in Pembroke Pines Florida.
For instance in Florida an insurance provider may non-renew your insurance policy (no matter your age) if you have more than one at-fault accident. If you have 3 or more accidents, regardless of who is at fault, the insurer may non-renew your car insurance policy. An insurance provider may non-renew for claims activity, regardless of incidents. Some insurers will require a physician statement for motorists over the age of 75.
