Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The older you are, the more experience you're likely to have on the roads, right? When it comes to auto insurance rates, that experience can help put some change back into your pocket. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay two times as much as drivers 65 and older.

You can expect to see a decrease in your monthly premium drop about once a decade or so. Having said that, once you approach retirement your rates may begin to go back up in Middletown.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your driving record can have a huge impact on your car insurance rates. Drivers with clean records can expect to pay much less than those with accidents or violations. In Middletown, drivers with one accident on their record will experience rates around $73 a month. On a similar note, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at a monthly rate of about $68 on average.

Accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can really hurt your wallet. Remember, the safer you are as a driver, the cheaper your car insurance will be.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

If you look at the first table above, you'll see that SUVs and cars are typically the cheapest vehicles to insure in Middletown, with drivers paying around $55 per month for auto insurance coverage.

SUV owners can expect to pay an average of around $55 a month for their policy, while truck and van drivers are usually around $59 to insure each month.

In addition to vehicle type, you can also expect to see slightly different rates depending on the age of your vehicle. Generally, newer vehicles are going to cost the most to insure. Once your car is close to 5 years old, however, your monthly bill may start to dip back down. In Middletown, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles four-to-five years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

More often than not, car insurance is slightly cheaper for married policyholders. This usually happens because companies will award special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

Married couples, on average, pay less than single drivers do to insure their vehicles. This holds true in Middletown, with married couples paying about $12 less per month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your living situation is another component of how insurance companies calculate your monthly rate. In Middletown, homeowners can expect to pay around $12 a month less than those who rent. But those who live at home with their parents can expect to pay significantly more.

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