Insurance score

Insurance score

An insurance score is a numerical ranking of a potential insured's financial status (usually credit history). Actuaries use these scores to determine risk, and charge premiums based on that risk.

Potential insureds who have low insurance scores statistically file more insurance claims and pay higher premiums. Conversely, potential insureds with better insurance scores tend to enjoy lower premium rates, as they are perceived to be less risky to insure.

See also "Auto-Plus Gold Report" (Canada) - by CGI for your insurance history report. Similar to a "credit history report" by Equifax.
