Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

Generally, the older you are, the more experienced you are on the roads. When it comes to auto insurance rates, that experience can help put some change back into your pocket. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay significantly more than drivers of retirement age.

Every ten years or so you can expect to see a decline in your monthly premium. Drivers in Ashland may see their rates begin to increase again once they hit retirement.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Although women typically pay less than men do to insure their vehicle, this is not the case in Ashland, where female drivers pay around $100 per month while male drivers pay about $95.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your rates can change quite drastically depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay lower rates than those with accidents or violations. In Ashland, having a single accident on your record will usually get you rates around $106 a month. Likewise, if you have one ticket, you'll be looking at an average rate of around $154.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can greatly increase your premium. So, if you want the cheapest rates, drive carefully and try to maintain a clean driving record.

In Ashland, the cheapest vehicles to insure are usually trucks and vans, with drivers paying around $85 per month for insurance coverage.

SUV drivers will see rates of about $101, while the rates for car owners average out to about $100 a month.

In addition to vehicle type, you can also expect to see slightly different rates based on how old your vehicle is. Newer vehicles are generally going to be the most expensive to insure. However, once your car is around 5 years old, you may start to see your monthly premium drop back down. In Ashland, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles four-to-five years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

On average, people who are married will pay slightly less for insurance coverage. This can usually be attributed to their policies having multiple vehicles, a factor some companies will reward with discounts.

At a national level, single drivers usually pay more than married couples do for auto insurance. Ashland follows that pattern, with the difference totaling to around $6 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor taken into consideration is your living accommodations. Whether rent your home or own property in Ashland, you can expect to pay around $97 per month.
