What Factors Affect Car Insurance Rates for a Kia Rondo?

There are an array of variables that car insurance companies examine to choose how much they charge you for a policy -- and every carrier uses a different formula, so there's not one single company that's the most affordable for everyone.

The following sections show numerous variables auto insurance carriers use to calculate rates:

Vehicle Age

Kia has been making the Rondo for quite some time -- and that means the car's age may make a difference in how much you'll pay for insurance. Generally, older cars will be cheaper to insure because they're worth less than newer models, and as cars age, insurance costs will gradually go lower.

A new Kia Rondo model hasn't been added to the market for over 5 years, so there isn't data to analyze this trend. However, as you can see in the table above, the most expensive Kia Rondos to insure are those that are 11 to 14 years old, while the cheapest models are Rondos that are 4 to 5 years old, on average.

Your Age

How old you are makes a significant difference in how much car insurance companies will charge for insurance. As you can see above, drivers with more experience on the road pay less for auto insurance compared to drivers under 24. Kia Rondo drivers aged between 18 and 24 actually pay $31 more than those 25 or older.

Auto insurance prices continue to get lower as you get older, with drivers aged 65 years and older making up the cheapest age group for the Rondo.

Your Gender

Because women are less likely to get tickets and get into collisions, they have a lower chance of filing a claim with insurance. The Kia Rondo sticks to the norm, where men pay around $74 a month for insurance, while women pay about $72.

Where You Live

It may seem like common sense that factors such as what vehicle you drive and how old you are play a role in your car insurance rates, but did you know that where you live has just as much of an impact? Because auto insurance is regulated on a state-by-state basis, prices fluctuate quite a bit from state to state.

For example, the average Kia Rondo owner from New York pays around $75 monthly for liability coverage, while the same driver in California will pay $25 less than that price, on average. The table referenced above shows average premiums for the 10 largest states by population, just to give you a good idea of how much rates can change across states.

Kia Rondo Car Insurance Discounts

No matter what vehicle you drive, how old you are, or what state you live in, using as many discounts as possible when it comes to your car insurance is always a good idea when shopping around for a policy.

While no two insurance carriers offer the same exact discounts, there are a few that you'll find with most insurers. These include discounts like:

• Pay-in-full discounts for choosing to pay your entire policy premium at once, rather than by monthly payments
• Multi-policy discounts for getting both your home and auto policies from the same insurance carrier
• Multi-vehicle discounts for adding more than one car to your auto policy
• Defensive driving discounts for taking a defensive driving class through an accredited school or institution

These discounts are great, but sometimes, the best way to get the cheapest rates is by strengthening your overall insurance profile that carriers look at. This includes things like not having recent insurance claims, avoiding lapses in coverage, and driving safely.

You obviously can't control every single aspect of your auto insurance profile (like some of the factors we mentioned above), but you can influence some of it. Below are just a few of the things you can use in your favor when it comes to saving money:

Your Driving Record

You've no doubt noticed ads from car insurance companies promoting big discounts for responsible drivers. It shouldn't come as a surprise that your auto insurance prices will increase if you get into an accident or get cited for speeding. But you're probably wondering exactly how much these infractions will cost you.

Looking at the table above, you'll see that accidents will usually cost Rondo drivers less than tickets, but both will result in higher than normal rates. Kia Rondo drivers with one ticket will pay about $94 per month, while drivers with a single accident on their record pay an average of $77 every month (up $5 from the $72/mo. overall average). The rates only go up the more collisions you have or tickets you get.

How Much You Drive

The total distance you drive plays a big role in your insurance premiums. Those who are on the roads less are more likely to go accident-free, so they'll generally end up spending less on auto insurance. Based on the table above, you can see that Kia Rondo owners who drive fewer than 2,500 miles each year pay an average of $58 monthly for insurance, while those who put 10,000 miles or more on their cars pay $74.

But if you work from home or drive less often than the average driver, you might consider a usage-based or pay-per-mile car insurance policy. With these kinds of plans, you pay a small monthly amount, and your final monthly bill is calculated based on the number of miles you drove.

How can I get the best price on car insurance for my Kia Rondo?

The only way to be sure you're getting the most affordable price on auto insurance is to regularly shop around and compare quotes from many carriers.

You've probably heard the old adage that red cars cost more to insure, but that's just a myth. While there are many variables car insurance carriers examine when they offer you a premium, your car's color is not factored into that decision.

Do I need to have insurance before I buy a Kia Rondo?

You'll need to have a valid insurance policy before you can legally drive your new (or new to you) Kia Rondo off the dealership lot. Some dealerships might offer you an insurance policy as part of the car-buying process, but the best thing to do when buying a a new car is to talk with your car insurance company ahead of time.

What car insurance discounts can I get for my Kia Rondo?

There are a lot of different discounts out there for auto insurance. Many of them (like "safe driver discounts" and "multi-vehicle discounts") are based less on your vehicle and more on you, but if your Rondo has safety features like anti-lock brakes, airbags, anti-theft systems, and other features, it may be eligible for certain discounts. You'll only know about which discounts you qualify for if you reach out to your insurance carrier and ask about their list of discounts.
