Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, those who have settled down into marriage will pay slightly less for auto insurance. This can usually be attributed to their policies having multiple vehicles, a factor that will often get you a discount.

The cost of auto insurance in Neptune reflects the national trend of married couples paying less than single drivers to insure their vehicles, to the tune of about $16 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor that comes into play is your housing status. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $4 a month more than homeowners in Neptune. But if you live with your parents, you can expect to pay a lot more.
