Yes, it is possible that if you live in an apartment complex in Las Vegas Nevada, it may affect your car insurance rates. Insurance carrier’s rating systems and insurance guidelines vary. The state insurance laws govern what factors an insurance provider can rate a person using and then an insurance carriers have their own rating systems. Such factors include the garaged location of the car. Parking your vehicle in an apartment complex is a rating factor that your insurance carrier may use if your state laws permit and your insurance providers guidelines have it as part of their rating system.

Of those insurance carriers that do rate using the garaged location of your car, many find it a higher risk if you reside in an apartment complex. There are more automobiles in the specific area with parking area and roadways that may possibly increase the chance of a car insurance claim. Some think that the risk of vandalism and or theft is also higher since it is easy to access the vehicles. In most areas, such as towns or college the insurance carrier may show that there is a higher cases of accidents in an apartment complex that is inhabited primarily by inexperienced or younger motorist.
