To add to the ever-growing pile of insurance questions… We all know insurers consider things such as driving records (claims, accidents, tickets, etc…), age, characteristics of the area in which the car is parked/garaged, type of car, credit history (I BELIEVE I have named all of the most salient measures). However, other information is also collected such as your education, income level and occupation. Seems to be quite a lot of excess data for an auto insurance company. So, are any of these ever used in determining the cost?
