Why is my Progressive insurance for my Honda Fit so expensive?

I have two accidents on my record—one was when my dad was driving my car, and the other was when I drove over something on the road. My insurance was already expensive and it increased even more recently. How can I get cheaper insurance?

“Having accidents or claims on your record is one of the most common reasons why
auto insurance
rates increase. While there are a lot of factors that go into car insurance rates, carriers do look at past insurance claims, accidents, and your driving record. All of these indicate what type of risk you will be to insure.
Another thing to consider is that car insurance rates do decrease as your accidents and claims age. The older the accident or claim is, the less likely it is to impact your rate.
If you are unhappy with your current rate, you should shop around. Every carrier rates their policies differently and you may be able to find a more affordable premium elsewhere. You can request
