If I get parking tickets will this make my car insurance go up?

Generally, parking tickets do not directly affect your car insurance rates. Parking violations are not considered moving violations, so they are not reported to your insurance company or added to your driving record.

However, if you ignore or fail to pay your parking tickets, this could lead to consequences that might indirectly affect your insurance, such as:

• Your vehicle registration being suspended, which could make it illegal to drive.
• Your car being towed or impounded, leading to additional fees and complications.
• Unpaid fines being sent to collections, which could hurt your credit score. Some insurance companies use credit-based insurance scores, so a lower credit score could increase your premium.

To avoid any issues, it’s best to pay parking tickets promptly! 🚗💨
