Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

It makes sense that the older you are, the more experience you have driving, right? That experience can turn into some real savings when it comes to car insurance bills. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay twice as much as someone who is retirement aged.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop about once a decade or so. Having said that, once you approach retirement age your rates may rise again in Edgewood.

Car insurance rates for men are usually slightly more expensive than they are for women. This rings true in Edgewood, where women pay around $10 less per month than men. As you can see in the table above, male drivers in the area typically pay $114 on average, while female drivers typically pay $104 each month.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Rates can vary wildly depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay much lower rates than those with accidents or violations. Drivers in Edgewood with one accident will pay around $129 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at an average rate of around $128.

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

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

In terms of affordable coverage, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Edgewood are by and large trucks and vans, at $83 per month.

Cars and SUV, on the other hand, usually cost about $111 for insurance coverage.

Your vehicle's age also plays a role in your monthly payment. Generally, newer vehicles are going to be the most expensive to insure. However, if your car is a few years old, you can expect to see your rates start dropping back down. In Edgewood, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles four-to-five years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally speaking, 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 some companies will reward with discounts.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Edgewood as well, where the difference is around $36 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your housing situation is another component of how insurance companies calculate your monthly rate. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $14 less than drivers who own property in Edgewood. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a good deal more than their counterparts who rent or own.

That said, if you bundle your homeowners or rental insurance policy with your auto insurance, many companies will offer you a discount to make up for it and reduce your average costs.
