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 twice as much as drivers 65 and older.

For every 10 years, you can expect to see a decrease in your monthly premium. Kernersville drivers may see their rates start to rise again once they hit retirement.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

On average, female drivers pay slightly less than male drivers for car insurance. The difference in Kernersville is around $17 a month. As you can see in the chart above, car insurance for women in the area typically costs around $44 each month, while men pay $61 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 Kernersville, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $35 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket will be looking at a rate of around $46 a month on average.

Accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can really add up when it comes to how much you pay. Remember, cheap car insurance rates are dependent on driving safely and keeping your record clean.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

According to the first table above, SUVs are typically the cheapest vehicles to insure in Kernersville, with drivers paying around $40 per month to insure their vehicle.

Car owners, on the other hand, by and large pay around $58 per month, while truck and van drivers can expect to pay about $54 a month for car insurance coverage.

In addition to vehicle type, you can also expect to see slightly different rates depending on how old your vehicle is. Generally, newer vehicles are going to cost the most to insure. Once your car is a few years old, however, you may see your bill start to shrink a bit. In Kernersville, vehicles six-to-seven years old are the most expensive to insure.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, those who are currently married will pay slightly less for auto insurance coverage. This usually happens because companies will extend special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

While married drivers normally pay less than single drivers, in Kernersville both groups pay about the same rate.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor that comes into play is your living accommodations. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $19 a month more than drivers who own property in Kernersville. But if you live with your parents, you can expect to pay a lot more.

Bundling your home or rental insurance with your auto insurance can oftentimes reduce your overall costs, depending on your insurance company.
