One of the main advantages of seeking out car insurance quotations via the Internet comparison engines is that it is both a time and money saver. As a very good alternative to going to every insurer's webpage to put forward your details so as to be given a quote, you can put in your details in an auto insurance rate comparison search engine and you will be given instant quotations from a number of insurers simultaneously. On the other hand, the flipside to this course of action is that the quotations that one will receive will be more of a general estimation than the actual real figure.

The actual car insurance rate that the car insurer will charge you can vary considerably after the insurer has factored in a few more fundamental considerations that the rate comparison engine did not consider. These factors can range from elements that are within your control e.g. driving history, make of car to factors that are beyond your control e.g. environment.

In detail, the following are some of the considerations that the insurers will consider that will have an effect on your final car insurance rate, and that are not fully factored in when you get an instant quotation request.

The first factor is your financial history - what is your standing with your creditors, how many people will be covered by the policy as drivers for the car being insured. The insurer will also consider what rate you used to pay for your previous car insurance policy.

Other factors that will be considered are the function of the vehicle, that is it a commercial or private automobile.

The insurer will also factor how long you have had a driving license for and a number of them will also consider any upgrade or modification that you have done to the car. More so they will be interested with developments that make the car more safer be it for drivers or road worthy e.g. airbags etc or safe in the form of security e.g. alarms systems, car tracking devices etc
