Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

It makes sense that older drivers would have more experience behind the wheel. That experience can lead to some serious savings when it comes to auto insurance premiums. According to the table above, you can see that 18-24-year-olds pay significantly more than someone who is at retirement age.

As you get older, you can expect to see a drop in your monthly premium every 10 years. As you get closer to retirement age, however, you may see your rates begin to go back up in Montebello.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Car insurance rates for women are generally cheaper than they are for men. In Montebello, however, men actually pay a little bit less than female drivers for auto insurance coverage.

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 lower rates than those with accidents or violations. In Montebello, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $65 a month. In addition, drivers with a single ticket on their record can expect to pay around $81 a month on average.

Wherever you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can cost you some serious cash. Remember, the safer you are as a driver, the cheaper your car insurance will be.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

According to the first table above, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Montebello are typically trucks and vans, at $50 per month.

SUV drivers will see rates of about $51 for auto insurance, while car owners usually pay around $63 per month.

Your vehicle's age 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 about 5 years old you may start to see your rates drop back down a bit. In Montebello, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles two-to -three years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

More often than not, those who have settled down into marriage will pay slightly less to insure their car. This occurs because insurance companies commonly offer special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

Although married couples normally pay less than single drivers to insure their vehicles, the rates for both groups in Montebello are about the same.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

One other element taken into consideration is your housing situation. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $1 less than homeowners in Montebello. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a good deal more than their counterparts who rent or own.

That being said, many companies will offer you a discount if you bundle your homeowners or rental insurance policy with your auto insurance.
