Introduction West Virginia Code Chapter 33, Article 20, Section 19 requires the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner to publish annually a list of current premium rates for minimum automobile liability insurance. Section I of this report contains auto rates for writers of mandatory coverage limits as set forth in 17D-4-2 of the West Virginia Code. Only liability and uninsured motorist insurance premium data were collected because the Code does not require comprehensive, collision, medical payments, underinsured motorist, or any additional or special coverages. Again for the 2011 Survey, Section II of the report lists auto rates for selected West Virginia border cities as well as for neighboring cities in the surrounding States. This information is presented at both State required minimum limits of insurance (which will vary from State to State) as well as on a comparable limit basis. Section I assumptions Comparing auto insurance rates is somewhat complex. These rates will vary due to many factors, including the driver s age or sex, garaging location, the type of vehicle and household makeup, just to name a few. In order to simplify the comparisons, specific driver criteria and certain levels of coverage have been assumed so as to obtain premiums which are only for the purposes of comparison. The coverages which are included in the comparison examples in this Section meet only the minimum insurance requirements of our financial responsibility limits law 17D-4-2. These amounts are: $20,000 bodily injury liability per person, $40,000 bodily injury liability per accident, and $10,000 property damage liability per event. This is commonly referred to as 20/40/10 liability coverage. Similarly, 20/40/10 coverage for uninsured motorists insurance is also mandatory in accordance with 33-6-31 and therefore has also been included in all of the rating examples. All rates shown in this report were requested to be provided on an annual basis. The preferred/standard writing company premiums will generally assume that the hypothetical drivers have not incurred any moving violations, license suspensions, or chargeable accidents during their experience rating period and that they have also maintained continuous auto insurance as is required by law. The non-standard writing company premiums generally apply to drivers who may have incidents on their driving records, or who have otherwise failed to maintain compulsory auto insurance as required by law. Note, however, that no accident or moving violations are assumed in the rating examples for either category of writing company. The exact written instructions provided to every company participating in the survey are included in the Appendix of this report. For more information about compulsory insurance, please contact us: West Virginia Offices of the Insurance Commissioner 1124 Smith Street P.O. Box 50540 Charleston, WV 25301 304-558-3386 or 1-888-TRY-WVIC http://www.wvinsurance.gov 3

As has been done historically, ten hypothetical drivers were selected for this portion of the survey. These vary only with respect to their ages, sex, marital status, and annual mileage driven. The sample risks included in the survey are: An 18 year old single male who has two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes to-and-from school, and averages driving about 10,000 miles per year. An 18 year old single female who has two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes to-and-from school, and averages driving about 10,000 miles per year. A 25 year old single male who has eight years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 25 year old single female who has eight years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 35 year old married male who has nineteen years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 35 year old married female who has nineteen years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 48 year old married male who has thirty-two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 48 year old married female who has thirty-two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 62 year old married male who has forty-six years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, does not regularly commute (pleasure usage only), and averages driving about 12,000 miles per year. A 62 year old married female who has forty-six years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, does not regularly commute (pleasure usage only), and averages driving about 12,000 miles per year. 4

The premiums for each example driver are provided for ten cities: Beckley, Bluefield, Charleston, Clarksburg, Huntington, Martinsburg, Morgantown, Parkersburg, Wheeling and Williamson. Each page of this Section of the report contains one of the distinct driver-types. Five of the ten cities appear alphabetically on a given page and the remaining five cities will appear on the following page for the same driver-type. On every third page, the example driver-type will change. As it is now commonplace that companies vary their premiums based upon the specific garaging zip code of a risk, and several of the cities included in the survey have multiple zip codes associated with them, specific zip codes have been selected to better ensure that the intra-city rates being provided are indeed based upon comparable criteria. For the survey, the following zip codes by city were assigned for the purpose of responding to the survey: City (Zip Code) Beckley (25801) Bluefield (24701) Charleston (25303) Clarksburg (26301) Huntington (25701) Martinsburg (25401) Morgantown (26505) Parkersburg (26101) Wheeling (26003) Williamson (25661) While the examples selected will most likely not fit your situation, they do provide a relative guideline. Your exact rate would be based on each company s individual underwriting and rating rules, and because companies vary greatly in those criteria, it is always advisable to get quotes from several companies using the same coverages and limits when shopping for insurance coverage. Section II assumptions As was initiated during the 2008 survey, again six West Virginia cities were selected which are located at or very near to our State s borders. For each of the West Virginia cities, at least one nearby city located in a neighboring State was also surveyed for the purposes of establishing a State to State comparison. Because the minimum amounts and types of insurance vary from State to State, two distinct comparisons were made. The first comparison was made on a minimum required limits, or on a minimum cost-to-cost basis. In other words, premiums were provided for only the minimum amount and type of coverage required by the law of the State in which the city is located, and this comparison provides some insight about how the different mandatory limits and coverages in each State impact the by-state premiums, and how the actual basic expenses of individuals who are only insured at State minimum levels compare from State to State. The second comparison attempts to obtain premiums on a more equitable basis by comparing premiums for the same limit of coverage between each of the selected cities. In other words, all premiums are for the same level and type of coverage (to the degree that the same is possible due to variances in State insurance laws). While not every company surveyed was capable of writing personal auto insurance in every State surrounding West Virginia, several of the surveyed companies were able to provide a rate for every surveyed city, and comparing the rates of only these companies provides a fairly equitable basis of comparison. 5

Similar to the procedure of Section I, only two different operators were chosen for this portion of the survey: A 48 year old married male who has thirty-two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. A 48 year old married female who has thirty-two years of driving experience, is the principal operator of the vehicle, who regularly commutes ten miles one-way to work, and averages driving about 20,000 miles per year. The minimum amounts and types of coverage for the six West Virginia cities surveyed are the same as were requested for Section I of the survey (Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability at $20/$40/$10 and Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury and Property Damage [UM] at $20/$40/$10). The selected zip codes for these cities were also the same as examined for Section I. The amounts and types of coverages for the surrounding States (under the minimum requirements for each of those States) are: Kentucky: Liability at $25/$50/$10, and Personal Injury Protection [PIP] Coverage Maryland: Liability at $30/$60/$15, PIP, UM, & UIM [Underinsured Motorist Coverage] Ohio: Liability at $12.5/$25/$7.5 Pennsylvania: Liability at $15/$30/$5 and Personal Injury Protection [PIP] Coverage Virginia: Liability at $25/$50/$20, UM, & UIM [Underinsured Motorist Coverage] 6

The second portion of this section of the survey requested that each of the premiums provided for each of the selected cities should afford coverage at the same limit and type of coverage. The premiums provided for each of the cities then would not vary by the amounts and types of coverages being provided by State except in those States where PIP or UIM coverage is mandatory. (Albeit that in the no-fault insurance States where first party medical coverage such as PIP is either required or is otherwise available, generally an increase in the cost associated with obtaining that coverage is somewhat offset by an associated decrease in the cost of obtaining the liability portion of coverage.) This section then proceeds to compare the rates of each of the surveyed cities with the following limits and coverages for each of the following States: Kentucky: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM at $100/$300/$50, and PIP (stated separately) Maryland: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM & UIM at $100/$300/$50, and PIP (stated separately) Ohio: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM at $100/$300/$50 Pennsylvania: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM at $100/$300/$50, and PIP (stated separately) Virginia: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM & UIM at $100/$300/$50 West Virginia: Liability at $100/$300/$50, UM at $100/$300/$50 As in Section I, specific zip codes were utilized for the cities in the surrounding States as well: City (Zip Code) Ashland, KY (41101) Hagerstown, MD (21740) Ironton, OH (45638) Marrietta, OH (45750) St. Clairsville, OH (43950) Point Marion, PA (15474) West Alexander, PA (15376) Bluefield, VA (24605) Winchester, VA (22601) 7

For the purposes of examining how the rates for personal auto insurance in West Virginia compare to those in our neighboring States, the following inter-state examples can then be examined: Some comparison may then be drawn by examining the premium relationships between the following groups of cities: Bluefield, West Virginia Bluefield, Virginia Huntington, West Virginia Ashland, Kentucky Ironton, Ohio Parkersburg, West Virginia Marietta, Ohio Wheeling, West Virginia St. Clairsville, Ohio West Alexander, Pennsylvania Morgantown, West Virginia Point Marion, Pennsylvania Martinsburg, West Virginia Hagerstown, Maryland Winchester, Virginia 8

Additional Information about the Sampled Companies The companies which appear in this report were selected for inclusion in the survey because their individual 2010 market shares by written premium volume (the most recent available) were among the top 50 active licensed companies writing business in West Virginia. A company s market share is determined by comparing the dollar amount of premiums that a given company had written in West Virginia during a given year to the total premiums written by all companies over the same period, for the same line of business. Thus, many active companies with smaller private passenger auto premium volumes do not appear in this survey. Specifically, in 2010 there were a total of 154 licensed companies reporting activity in West Virginia (where activity is defined as either writing premiums, earning premiums, incurring losses or paying losses) in the private passenger automobile line of insurance business, however only 39 companies have sample premiums shown in this survey, yet they comprise nearly 87% of the personal auto insurance premiums written in West Virginia during 2010. The inclusion of any particular company s rates in this survey does not necessarily imply that they are accepting new business at any given time. The companies have been divided into categories labeled Preferred, Standard Companies and Non-Standard Companies. This is not a hard-and-fast distinction, but rather is subject to some interpretation. Generally, the Preferred, Standard Companies write policies for the best drivers who have maintained continuous auto insurance coverage, whereas the Non-Standard Companies write policies for drivers who have one or more driving violation(s) or who have failed to maintain compulsory automobile insurance. The companies responding to the survey each made a selection to indicate whether the rates which they were providing were either Standard or Non-Standard rates. Non-standard Companies are those which are subject to the specific requirements of 33-6-31c and 114CSR37, and make use of what are otherwise known as Substandard rates. As of the publication date of this survey, the following companies have specific eligibility requirements: Availability limited to U.S. Military Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, National Guard and Reserve, and adult children and spouses of current or former USAA members: United Service Automobile Association USAA Casualty Insurance Company USAA General Indemnity Company Garrison Property and Casualty Insurance Company Eligibility for Trumbull Insurance Company requires AARP Membership 9

Frequently Asked Questions Q. Is an insurance company obligated to issue an automobile insurance policy to me? A. No. Automobile insurance companies operating in West Virginia are not required to issue policies to all applicants. Each company has its own underwriting requirements and may decline to issue a policy if the applicant does not meet the company s criteria. However, also see the response to the question at the bottom of this page concerning the assigned risk plan ( AIPSO ). Q. How much will my insurance cost? A. Prices vary widely. The type of automobile you drive, your driving record, your age, your gender, where you live, how much you drive, and even your credit usage history may affect the cost. Also, you may qualify for various discounts. Q. Will my rates go up or will I lose my insurance if I am involved in an accident or get a ticket? A. The answer depends upon whether the accident or ticket is your first or one of many, and whether you were determined to be at fault for the accident. Multiple accidents or moving violations within a specified time period are grounds for an insurance company to either cancel or nonrenew your automobile insurance policy. Short of actual cancellation or nonrenewal, tickets for moving violations and at-fault accidents are often factored into the premium you will pay for your automobile insurance. If you are involved in an accident and it is determined that someone else was at-fault, then there will generally not be an increase in your premium due to the accident. Additionally, failing to maintain continuous auto insurance coverage is generally viewed by auto insurers as a negative indicator of your specific exposure to future loss. Talk to your agent to become familiar with what your specific insurance company does. Q. How can I obtain insurance if I have been rejected by several companies? A. If all attempts fail and you are unable to obtain automobile insurance, any licensed agent may obtain insurance for you through the West Virginia Assigned Risk Plan ( AIPSO or the Auto Insurance Plan Services Office). AIPSO should be a last resort because the premium is generally substantially higher than that of any of the voluntary insurance companies. AIPSO is designed to provide a means by which risks that in good faith are entitled to automobile liability insurance, but are unable to secure it in the voluntary market, may be assigned to an authorized insurance company. Comprehensive and collision coverages are available, subject to a deductible, but cannot be purchased separately from the liability insurance. Non-owned vehicles in which you have an insurable interest as well as commercial vehicles may also be insured with AIPSO. 10

Frequently Asked Questions Continued Q. Do I have a grace period for the payment of my automobile insurance premium? A. No. There is no grace period in an automobile insurance policy, therefore it is imperative that the insurance company receive the premium on or before the date it is due. If time is short, you may want to contact your agent to make arrangements for the payment of your premium at the agency. You may also have an option to submit the payment electronically. Q. If I call an agent for a quote of auto insurance premiums and later decide to apply for a policy based on the rate that was quoted, is the company bound to provide coverage using that rate? A. No. The quote is merely a tentative offer of insurance coverage using an expected premium based upon the information that you had provided to them. The insurance company will determine the final premium if it later elects to issue the policy. Q. Will the insurance company settle my claim based on the lowest repair estimate I submit? A. Perhaps. If a company feels the repair estimates submitted are too high, they have the right to check elsewhere. However, if they direct an insured to a specific shop, they are giving an implied warranty on that shop s workmanship and must stand behind the work. Q. Under the terms of the collision coverage in my automobile policy, do I have the right to make the decision as to whether repair, replace or receive cash for my wrecked automobile? A. No. That is one of the rights given to the company under your policy. Q. I recently had an accident in my five year old automobile and the company wants to repair it by using after market crash parts (i.e. parts not manufactured by the original manufacturer). Can they do this? A. Insurance companies may not require the use of after market crash parts on motor vehicles requiring repair in the current year of their manufacture or the two following years. (i.e. This only applies to vehicles 3 years old or less, otherwise it is permissible.) For further information about this issue, contact the West Virginia Offices of the Insurance Commissioner s Consumer Services Division at 1-888-TRY- WVIC. 11

Frequently Asked Questions Teenage Drivers In every country in the world where cars are a common mode of transportation, teenagers are disproportionately involved in motor vehicle crashes. The seriousness of this problem has been recognized for decades but most public policies have had little impact on the problem. Newer approaches, such as graduated licensing systems, have been enacted in some states to try to reduce teenage crashes and the deaths and injuries they cause. Q. Why are insurance premium rates for teenagers so high? A. Teenage drivers have very high rates of both fatal and nonfatal crashes compared with drivers of other ages. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers. Q. How serious is the teenage motor vehicle crash problem? A. According to 2006 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, 3,490 young drivers aged 15-20 died in the United States from motor vehicle crash injuries, and fatalities among this age group have increased three percent over the period 1996-2006. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15-20 year olds, and in 2006 they had the highest fatal crash involvement rate of any age group with 59.5 fatal crashes per 100,000 licensed drivers. This is more than double the rate for any age group over age 35. Q. How do crashes involving teenagers differ from those of other drivers? A. Teenagers not only have higher crash rates than other age groups but their crashes are different. Analysis of fatal crash data indicate that teenage drivers are: more likely to be at-fault in their crashes; their crashes often involve speeding; they are often single vehicle crashes; their crashes are often at night and involve the use of smaller and older cars compared to adults. Q. How do teenage crash rates compare with rates among elderly drivers? A. Although elderly drivers mileage-based crash rates are as high as teenagers, older drivers have lower insurance rates. The fact that relatively few elderly drivers are involved in crashes, despite their high crash risk, is because elderly people with licenses drive fewer miles on average than do younger drivers. Q. Can I be added to my parents automobile insurance policy? A. If you reside in your parents household and operate a motor vehicle listed on your parents policy, then you may be added to your parents policy; however, depending upon the age and the driving record of the newly added operator, the cost of the policy may increase. If you have your own automobile, your parents company may also sell you a separate policy but at a different rate than that of your parents. 12
