Vehicle | Average Monthly Premium: Liability | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: All Policies |

In addition to your location, your age can affect your insurance rates. We’ll cover that more below.
Chevy Trax Insurance Rates by Age
Age also plays a significant role in insurance pricing. Younger drivers are more likely to get into accidents than more experienced drivers,[4] so they tend to pay more for insurance.
Typically, your rates will be high until you turn 25. According to the National Safety Council, drivers aged 16 to 19 account for over 9% of all car crashes, while people aged 20 to 24 account for more than 13%.
See how Chevrolet Trax premiums vary by age group below, according to our data.
Age Group | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Teens | $268 | Mile Auto | $127 |

50s | $117 | Mile Auto | $56 |
60s | $109 | Mile Auto | $52 |
70s | $118 | Mile Auto | $56 |
Teens pay the most for Chevrolet Trax insurance, with an average premium of $268 per month. Prices drop steadily as you age, only increasing again once around your 70s.
Mile Auto is still the cheapest insurer for both age groups, though.
Chevy Trax Insurance Rates by Driving Record
You can also expect your driving record to affect your insurance costs. Traffic citations, previous accidents, and other events on your record may indicate you’re at higher risk for filing a claim — which means you’ll pay more for insurance. But a clean driving record can save you money on your premiums.
The chart below shows how your driving record impacts the cost of Chevrolet Trax insurance, according to Compare.com data.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Clean record | $142 | Mile Auto | $68 |
Speeding ticket | $197 | Mile Auto | $94 |
At-fault accident | $206 | Mile Auto | $98 |
DUI | $234 | Mile Auto | $111 |
A DUI increases your car insurance premiums the most, adding more than $90 to your monthly cost. But our data shows that Mile Auto is still the cheapest company for Trax insurance, even with a spotty driving record.
Chevrolet Trax Features and Options that Affect Insurance Rates
The type of vehicle you drive also affects how much you pay for insurance. Insurers consider things like rates of theft and repair costs when determining rates for each make and model. The overall safety record for your car’s model also matters because it can indicate the likelihood of a liability claim should you get into an accident.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2024 Chevrolet Trax’s safety as “good” to “acceptable” in many categories. The Trax also boasts anti-theft features like fuel and steering-column locks, glass-breakage sensors, and a battery-powered alarm.[5] It also has safety features like automatic emergency brakes, lane assistance, and collision alerts.[6]
These can all help make the vehicle safer, reducing your insurance costs.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Trax
You have several options when it comes to paying less for car insurance. If you’re looking to reduce what you pay for Chevrolet Trax insurance, you can:
Choose a higher deductible. The higher your deductible, the lower your monthly premium. But keep in mind that you’ll have to pay more out of pocket if you cause an accident.
Maintain good credit. Many states allow insurers to use your credit history to determine premiums. Good credit usually equates to lower premiums.
Look for discounts. Insurers typically offer various car insurance discounts, including safe driving, good grades, setting up automatic payments, and more.
Bundle your policies. You can usually get a discount for using the same company for your car and other insurance policies.
Compare insurance companies. Every insurer offers different rates, so get quotes from a few companies before deciding where to buy your policy.
