The insurance premium setting system is provided with an insurance premium setting unit which sets the insurance premium on the basis of breakdown-related information which is related to the possibility of breakdown of the working machine, when a user uses the working machine. The breakdown-related information is working information on the working machine, and the insurance premium setting unit sets the insurance premium on the basis of the working information. The working information includes a working load of the working machine, and the insurance premium setting unit sets the insurance premium more expensively, as the working load becomes larger.
