The 5-Star rating is much more difficult to earn under the new standard. Only 2 of\u00a0 the first 33 vehicles crash-tested achieved the top score, compared to 99 that received 5 stars last year. The two vehicles were the BMW 5 Series and the\u00a0Hyundai Sonata.<\/p>\n

Crash test ratings are about more than manufacturers’ bragging rights. The safest cars can reduce your Maine auto insurance quote<\/a>. Auto insurers offer discounts for anti-lock brakes, air bags, and other safety features.<\/p>\n

Although many factors determine car insurance costs,\u00a0 the price to protect two vehicles \u00a0with similar MSRP’s can vary depending upon those discounts. The Department of Transportation provides excellent auto\u00a0safety information at safercar.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can get Maine auto insurance quotes<\/a> from four competing insurers from\u00a0Noyes Hall & Allen Insurance<\/a> .\u00a0For more information, Contact Noyes Hall & Allen<\/a> at 207-799-5541.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
