It's pretty safe to assume that the older you are, the longer you've been driving, right? When it comes to car insurance bills, that experience can help put some change back into your pocket. In this case, 18-24-year-olds pay a lot more than someone who is at retirement age.

For every ten years older you get, you can expect to see a drop in your monthly premium. Once you hit retirement, however, your rates may begin to go back up in Greenbelt.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Female drivers pay, on average, slightly less than their male counterparts. In Greenbelt, however, the difference in the monthly cost of coverage is minimal.

Your driving record can have a tremendous impact on your car insurance rates. Drivers who avoid accidents and tickets will pay significantly lower rates than those with infractions. The rate for drivers in Greenbelt with a single accident on their record is about $121 a month. On a similar note, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at a monthly rate of about $121 on average.

Wherever you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can cost you some serious cash. In order to minimize your monthly rate, practice safe driving habits and keep your record clean.
