South Carolina faces high automobile insurance rates due to the Facility Program and other factors. Industry officials point to the must insure law and high-risk pools, while policymakers and analysts discuss potential two-tiered pricing and legislative changes to curb rising costs.
The South Carolina insurance system is described as a tangled mix with no single cause for high automobile rates. Officials point to factors such as mandatory coverage laws, poorer driving conditions, reluctance to change laws, two tier pricing resistance, and enforcement gaps as contributors.
State Farm cites South Carolina law mandating auto insurance for all able to pay as a key driver of higher rates. Officials note poorer driving outcomes with 35-40 percent more accidents, reluctance of agents to adopt two tier pricing, and enforcement gaps on speeding and drunk driving. Road quality on secondary routes also concerns regulators.
