If you are creditworthy, does that make you a good driver?
That's what some auto insurance companies believe. If you're careful with your credit, perhaps you are more careful with your driving too. You can be assured, their statisticians have numbers to back it up.
To make decisions about whether or not to grant insurance, and the rate you'll pay, a score is computed, based on what's in your credit report. This is much like the credit score used by lenders, but factors may be weighted differently. And of course, they also look at your driving record and past insurance claims.
