Auto insurance rates vary just as much as people vary. Two different people with the same driving record and the same car might pay different prices for the same insurance, because there are many factors that go into deciding the price of the car insurance.

University students have left their campuses, many school districts are either done or into the final wind downs, summer camp packing is fully underway, and beaches will soon have far more humans than seagulls.
