Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

Generally, the older you are, the more experienced you are on the roads. That experience can lead to some serious savings when it comes to car insurance premiums. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay significantly more than drivers 65 and older.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop about once a decade or so. Once you hit retirement, however, your rates may begin to go back up in Jackson.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

In general, female drivers pay less for car insurance than their male counterparts. While female drivers pay a little bit less than male drivers on their monthly auto coverage, the difference in Jackson is only about $2 a month.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

One of the biggest factors in determining your car insurance rates is your driving record. Those with clean records will see the most affordable rates, whereas even a single accident or infraction can cost you. In Jackson, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $96 a month. Similarly, if you have one ticket on your record, you will be looking at an average rate of around $75.

Accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can really hurt your wallet. In order to minimize your monthly rate, practice safe driving habits and keep your record clean.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

In terms of affordable coverage, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Jackson are usually trucks and vans, at $58 per month.

SUV drivers will see rates of about $65 for auto insurance, while car owners by and large pay around $77 per month.

The age of your vehicle has an impact on the cost of your policy as well. Generally, newer vehicles are going to cost the most to insure. Once your car is around 5 years old, however, you may see your rates begin to drop back down. In Jackson, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles eleven-to-fourteen years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally speaking, those who are currently married will pay slightly less to insure their vehicle. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something that will often get you a discount.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Jackson as well, where the difference is around $8 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor taken into consideration is your housing situation. In Jackson, homeowners can expect to pay around $2 a month less than those who rent. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a good deal more than their counterparts who rent or own.

If you bundle your home or rental insurance and auto insurance policies, you can oftentimes reduce your overall costs, depending on your insurance company.
