While the costs of loss or the average loss per insured vehicle, the driver largest insurance premiums, there is clearly a link between the rating systems and bonuses. According to NAIC for the year 2003, the average premium to the prior authorization of the State was 10.7% higher than the State Rating flexible laws.
Weber said that the number of insurers for business in a safe, it is an index for the health of the market place. “States in the implementation of evaluation plans flexible rule of new competitors. According to the NAIC, Pennsylvania saw an increase of 21 per cent in the number of insurers over a period of four years. ‘S South Carolina experience was spectacular, from 83 companies in 1997 to 150 in 2001, a 82 per cent ” , Said Weber.
In a recent interview Insurance Journal, North Dakota Jim Poolman said Commissioner, he argues that the legislature move flex rating. “Overall, we believe advantage of these legal changes, consumers in the end, we have in our market is more competitive,” said Poolman.
