State Farm changes dicount rates

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray Niblett on  Tue Nov 28 05:38 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Saw this on cnn.com: State Farm is using now using there

own real world crash data to set auto insurance rates. In

the past, you got 30% for having air bags. Now they will

discount 10 to 40% based on real world data (since most cars

now have air bags). Styate Farm has posted a list of 36 vehicles

that do best in crashes (the A list). See:

http://www.statefarm.com/media/release/discount.htm

The Volvo S40, S/V70 and S80 series are on the list of top 36.

Oddly, in the C series the convertable gets an A rating and the

hardtop gets a B rating. The V40 also gets a B but the S40 gets

an A rating.

Most of the vehicles on the list are large pickups and full

size vans or larger cars. For example, the only Fords listed with

an A rating are Econoline F150, 250 and 350 vans and F150,250

pickups.

The Volvos and Saabs seem to be the smallest vehicles on the list.

There is also a longer list covering all vehicles.
