Manufacturers are building safer and better cars than ever before, thanks to a little help from agencies and organizations dedicated to testing and publishing results on most of the new car models produced today. You can get simple ratings, or you can search in-depth reports about the crash worthiness and safety of your car. Also, several international organizations operate websites that make it easy to get information about cars from across the globe.

Some cars are not tested by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Although specific safety information may be available for your particular model, all cars sold in the United States are required to adhere to federally mandated guidelines that specify safety requirements.

  1. Safercar.gov. Sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this excellent website is loaded with information on tons of cars. You can find safety test information about a great many cars sold in the US since 1990. This user-friendly website provides excellent information that is easy to interpret. You can also compare safety ratings of similar vehicles.

    The NHTSA buys vehicles from dealers, then tests and collects data on full frontal crashes and side impact crashes. They also collect rollover data on trucks and SUVs.

    To illustrate how it works, I directed my browser to safercar.gov. I entered that I was searching for information on a 2004 Ford Freestar Van. The website directed me to a page that showed 4 and 5 stars across the board. You can get the safety ratings on almost every car sold in large numbers in the United States since 1990.

    Learn about the meaning of the stars in each crash test and more at the Safercar.gov frequently asked questions.
