Geena, what your friend told you about the prices of auto insurance policies for female drivers is true. Women indeed have the advantage of having lower premiums just because, well, they are female.

You may wonder why this is. When you look at the annual reports, you will see that most vehicular accidents that occurred for the past years usually involve male drivers. It does not matter if they are at fault or not when the accident happened. What this suggests is a pattern of recklessness on the part of male drivers. It may be because of testosterone, ego tripping, whatever, but the thing is it makes their auto insurance premiums more expensive than female drivers.

A lot of men complain about this, saying that the auto insurance industry should not generalize all men as potential risk drivers. Yes, it is indeed true that it is a form of generalization that all men are potential risk drivers. But if you would think about it, auto insurance companies are just trying to be on the safe side and are just balancing out the financial risk they would be taking at insuring male drivers. And to solve the problem of how to spare the responsible male drivers from utter financial stress, companies are willing to insure male drivers who can prove that they would not be hazardous on the road. They could show this through their driving record and credit history.

Now, you could get free online auto insurance quotes to see that what I am saying is the truth. But you have to remember that the free online auto insurance quotes that you shall get may still vary from the final price because there still are a lot of other things to be taken into account. Free online auto insurance quotes are just an approximation of your premium.
