On average, car insurance is slightly cheaper for married policyholders. This oftentimes is a result of owning multiple vehicles that are on the same policy, something many companies offer special discounts for.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Springfield as well, where the difference is around $4 a month.
