Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The longer you've been behind the wheel, the more experienced of a driver you are. When it comes to auto insurance premiums, that experience pays off. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay a lot more than drivers of retirement age.

For every 10 years, you can expect to see a decrease in your monthly premium. Having said that, once you approach retirement your rates may climb back up a bit in Auburn.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Car insurance rates for men are usually slightly more expensive than they are for women. In Auburn, although women do pay slightly less on their monthly auto coverage, the price is about the same for either group.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your rates can change quite drastically depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay much lower rates than those with accidents or violations. Drivers in Auburn with one accident will pay around $71 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at an average rate of around $75.

Wherever you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions will almost certainly drive up your monthly bill. Remember, cheap car insurance rates are dependent on driving safely and keeping your record clean.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

If you look at the first table above, you'll see that cars are typically the cheapest vehicles to insure in Auburn, with drivers paying around $57 per month for insurance coverage.

Truck and van drivers will see rates of about $59 for car insurance coverage, while SUV owners usually pay around $58 a month.

The age of your vehicle has an impact on the cost of your policy as well. Generally, newer vehicles are going to be the most expensive to insure. However, once your car is close to 5 years old you may start to see your rates drop back down a bit. In Auburn, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles two-to -three years old.

Vehicle age can also affect your monthly bill. Overall, newer vehicles are going to be the most expensive to insure. However, your rates may start to drop back down once your car is more than 5 years old. In Auburn, for example, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles less than one year old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally speaking, married policyholders will pay slightly less for auto insurance coverage. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something that will often get you a discount.

The cost of auto insurance in Auburn reflects the national trend of married couples paying less than single drivers to insure their vehicles, to the tune of about $12 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor taken into consideration is your living situation. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $8 a month more than those who own their own home in Auburn. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a good deal more than their counterparts who rent or own.

That said, if you bundle your homeowners or rental insurance policy with your auto insurance, many companies will offer you a discount to make up for it and reduce your overall costs.
