Usually auto insurers use a credit score when rating your credit. It provides a single objective number to compare your credit against other drivers. It doesn't take into account how old you are or what your gender is. It also doesn't include your income or where you live. And although different scoring formulas are used, what they typically grade are such things as your bill-paying record, whether you own your home, how long you've had credit and if you've had a foreclosure or judgment.
