While women typically pay less than men do for auto insurance, Alexandria bucks this trend. Female drivers typically pay around $75 more a month for auto insurance coverage than their male counterparts.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Depending on your driving record, your rates can vary quite a lot. Drivers who avoid accidents and tickets will pay much lower rates than those with infractions. In Alexandria, a driving record with one accident will usually get you a rate around $216 a month. Likewise, if you have one ticket, you'll be looking at an average rate of around $692.

Wherever you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can cost you some serious cash. So, if you're looking for cheap car insurance, drive carefully and keep a clean record.

Vehicle age has an impact on the cost of your policy as well. Newer vehicles are generally going to be the most expensive to insure. Once your car is about 5 years old, however, you may see your rates begin to drop back down. In Alexandria, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles two-to-three years old and eight-to-ten years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, those who have settled down into marriage will pay slightly less for auto insurance. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something that will often get you a discount.

On a national scale, married drivers typically pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. Alexandria is no exception, with the difference totaling to around $92 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

One other element taken into consideration is your housing status. If you rent your home or apartment in Alexandria, expect to pay around $110 a month more than if you own your home. But if you live with your parents, you can expect to pay a lot more.
