If that’s not enough rate data, we threw in a few more little nuggets of information just in case:

• Earn a discount from your choice of occupation. Many car insurance companies offer policy discounts for earning a living in occupations like doctors, architects, nurses, high school and elementary teachers, college professors, members of the military, and other occupations. If your profession qualifies you for this discount, you may save between $58 and $178 on your yearly Silverado insurance cost, depending on your policy.

In states that have regulations allowing a driver’s personal credit information to be used as an auto insurance rate factor, drivers who have credit scores over 800 could experience savings as high as $303 per year over a lower credit rating of 670-739. Conversely, a credit rating below 579 could cost up to $351 more per year.
