Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The older you are, the more experience you're likely to have behind the wheel, right? That experience can lead to some serious savings when it comes to auto insurance premiums. In this case, 18-24-year-olds pay two times the price that drivers 65 and older.

Every ten years or so you can expect to see a decline in your monthly premium. Having said that, once you approach retirement age your rates may rise again in Gilbert.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Car insurance rates for men are usually slightly more expensive than they are for women. In Gilbert, the difference comes out to about $5 per month. As illustrated in the table above, male drivers in the area pay about $75 on average, while female drivers pay around $70 each month.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Depending on your driving record, your rates can vary quite a lot. Drivers with clean records will pay significantly lower rates than those with accidents or violations. Drivers in Gilbert with a single accident will pay around $85 a month. On a similar note, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at a monthly rate of about $79 on average.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can greatly increase your premium. In order to minimize your monthly rate, practice safe driving habits and keep your record clean.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

If you look at the first table above, you'll see that SUVs are by and large the cheapest vehicles to insure in Gilbert, with drivers paying around $57 per month for auto insurance coverage.

Cars, trucks, and vans, however, all cost about the same for insurance -- around $76 a month.

You can also expect to see slightly different rates depending on the age of your vehicle. Newer vehicles are generally going to be the most expensive to insure. Once your car is a few years old however, your rates may start to dip back down a bit. In Gilbert, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles eleven-to-fourteen years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, those who are currently married will pay slightly less for auto insurance. This occurs because insurance companies commonly extend special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Gilbert as well, where the difference is around $30 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor that comes into play is your living accommodations. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $16 a month more than drivers who own property in Gilbert.

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.
