The amount of the insurance premium the regional class, which is associated with the official indicator, played a decisive role so far”, explains insurance expert Thorsten Bohg by toptarif.de. In addition to numerous direct insurers but also large insurance companies such as Allianz, the HUK-Coburg or the DEVK no longer calculate the rates valid for 2010 generally after the registration districts. “Rather a postcode-sharp Association is the calculations or a regional fine selection based on some insurers.” Example Berlin: According to the classical Association a uniform risk value for regional classes applies for the entire federal capital, no matter whether the car holder in the city centre or the outskirts live.

On the other hand allows for a derogation in the new vehicle registration regulation take of the license plate moves within a federal State. This arrangement already applies in Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein. A calculation of the actual risk by the insurer on the basis of the indicator is no longer possible in these cases”, adds Bohg.
