Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

It's pretty safe to assume that the older you are, the longer you've been driving. That experience can lead to some serious savings when it comes to car insurance rates. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay two times as much as someone who is retirement aged.

For every ten years older you get, you can expect to see a drop in your monthly premium. That said, once you hit retirement age, your rates may begin to go back up in Belleville.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

In general, women pay slightly less for car insurance than men. This is true in Belleville, where male drivers pay about $22 more per month. As you can see in the chart above, car insurance for women in the area typically costs around $104 each month, while men pay $126 on average.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your rates can change quite drastically depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay significantly lower rates than those with accidents or violations. In Belleville, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $149 a month. In addition, drivers with a single ticket on their record can expect to pay around $123 a month on average.

When it comes to your monthly bill, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can really take a toll. So, if cheap car insurance is something you're after, drive safely and keep a clean record.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

If you look at the first table above, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Belleville are by and large trucks and vans, at $95 per month.

Car owners can expect to pay an average of around $122 a month for their policy, while SUVs usually cost around $104 a month to insure.

Depending on your vehicle's age, you can also expect to see slightly different rates. Generally, the most expensive vehicles to insure are going to be newer ones. Once your car is a few years old, however, you may see your bill start to shrink a bit. In Belleville, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles six-to-seven years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

More often than not, car insurance is slightly cheaper for married policyholders. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something some companies will reward with discounts.

While married drivers normally pay less for auto insurance than single drivers, Belleville bucks this trend as both groups pay around the same rate for coverage.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your housing situation is another component of how insurance companies calculate your monthly rate. In Belleville, homeowners can expect to pay around $11 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.

Bundling your home or rental insurance and auto insurance policies can oftentimes reduce your average premiums, depending on your insurance company.
