Best Answer

When you get insurance on a car, a house, a boat, you pay the insurance company money, known as premiums. The insurance company invests that money. When there is a claim, some of the premium, along with some of the interest from the invested money, is used to pay the claim.

How does an insurance company benefit from insurance?

When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums".

The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it.

Will insurance rates go up if no claims were reported?

Insurance rates are not determined by an individual's claims ratios, as the few who have claims could never afford their premiums if that were the case. They are figured over thousands of clients. This is how insurance of every kind works. By use of the law of large numbers, the risk of loss can be figured and these rates applied. Risk is calculated so that those who exhibit the most risk will pay higher premiums while those who have lower risk will pay less. Auto insurance companies usually lose money on claims but hope to make money by investing the sums between collection and payment of claims.
