2000 Auto Insurance Premiums In Selected Ohio Cities
In 2000 the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) requested insurance
companies to quote prices they would charge drivers for automobile
insurance. Over 100 companies responded, and their rates were reflected
in the survey. The table below shows a comparison of auto insurance
premiums for selected metropolitan areas in Ohio. Figures shown
should be reviewed as a guide. They do not reflect discounts offered
by insurers, which could lower insurance costs. On the other hand,
accidents and/or traffic violations could raise the rates quoted.
