Every Insurance company uses their own rates and they are based on their own experience. A major factor in auto rates in recent years is a persons credit history. Insurance companies will rate based on a number of factors relating to that persons credit history, such as the number of loans they have , the number of credit cards they have, and what the credit limits are, their pay history and other factors are used.
