What factors impact car insurance cost in Aurora, CO?
You may be surprised if you call one of these companies and get a dramatically different quote than is listed here. The reason for that is that car insurance rates vary by a number of factors:
- Age
- Driving history: one speeding ticket can increase your rates by 24%!
- Zip code: some zip codes have higher property crime than others
- Car make and model: some cars are likely to be stolen, and that hot-rod you’ve been eyeing will definitely cost more to insure than an average, run-of-the-mill sedan with good safety features
- Mileage: the more you drive, the higher your rates. Insurance companies see it as the more time you spend on the road, the more likely it is that you’ll be in an accident
- Credit history: only California, Massachusetts and Hawaii have dismissed credit history as a factor in car insurance
- Marital status: married people pay less because statistically, they are in 50% fewer accidents than their single counterparts.
- Gender: men pay about 6% less, unless you’re a teenage male, in which case you pay about 14% more than a teenage girl
- Homeownership: If you are a homeowner, carriers seem to offer you a better rate than renters.
- And many more other factors. Each carrier has their own set of factors that they consider in their proprietary underwriting models to provide you with a rate.
Some of these things you can control, and others you can’t do anything about.

Aurora, Colorado SR-22
An SR-22 is a legal document you need to get if you have a violation like a DUI or multiple traffic violations on your record. You can also be required to have an SR-22 if you get caught driving without insurance or with a suspended license. An SR-22 is not insurance, it’s a form your insurance company files with the state of Colorado to ensure you remain insured.
If you are not insured already and need an SR-22, you might have to pay a fee and you’ll pay higher rates because of your high-risk driving. Some carriers won’t insure you at all, but some will offer you a policy—at an inflated rate, of course.
If you already have insurance, you’ll contact your insurance company to request that they file an SR-22 for you. They might refuse to cover you, but you can obtain new insurance.

What does car insurance cover?
Colorado requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability (PDL). You need a minimum of $10,000 each to register a car in Colorado.
However, these limits are the bare minimum. One visit to an emergency department could cost you over $10,000, so higher limits are a good idea. You’ll also want to consider:
Bodily injury liability: Covers medical expenses of another driver or pedestrian when you’re in an at-fault accident. It’s not required in Colorado but going without it can leave you vulnerable to costly lawsuits.
Property damage liability: Damage to another person’s property. This could be their car, the contents of their car, their fence, their home, or whatever else you manage to hit. At least $10,000 in PDL is required in Colorado, but that amount won’t go very far.
Uninsured motorist: covers your medical expenses if you’re in an accident with an uninsured driver.
Underinsured motorist: covers your medical expenses if you’re in an accident with someone who doesn’t have enough liability insurance to cover your medical bills.
Collision: covers the costs of repairing your own vehicle if you’re in an accident.
Comprehensive: covers damage to your vehicle due to vandalism, theft, or weather. If you have a loan or a lease, your lender will require both of these coverages.

We analyzed rates for drivers 20 to 60 years old in ten-year increments.
We used the same assumptions for all other driver profiles, with the following exceptions:
- For drivers with minimum coverage, we used the minimum required coverage by law in the state.
- For drivers with one at-fault crash, we included rates for drivers with one at-fault crash that happened in the past six months.
- For drivers with a DUI, we included rates for drivers that had a drunken driving violation that happened in the past 6 months
