Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The longer you've been behind the wheel, the more experienced of a driver you are. It also makes sense that the more experienced of a driver you are, the safer you are. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay two times the price that drivers of retirement age.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop about once a decade or so. Youngstown drivers may see their rates climb back up a bit once they hit retirement.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

In general, female drivers pay less for car insurance than their male counterparts. In Youngstown, although men do pay a bit less on their monthly premiums, the price is about the same for either group.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Rates can change drastically depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay significantly lower rates than those with accidents or violations. In Youngstown, having a single accident on your record will usually get you rates around $82 a month. In addition, drivers with one ticket can expect to pay around $73 a month on average.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can greatly increase your premium. In order to minimize your monthly rate, practice safe driving habits and keep your record clean.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

According to the first table above, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Youngstown are usually trucks and vans, at $53 per month.

SUV drivers will see rates of about $59 for insurance coverage, while car owners typically pay around $63 a month.

The age of your vehicle also plays a role in your monthly payment. Newer vehicles are generally going to be the most expensive to insure. Once your car is close to 5 years old, however, you may see your bill start to shrink a bit. In Youngstown, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles eight-to-ten years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, people who are married will pay slightly less for car insurance. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something many companies offer special discounts for.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Youngstown as well, where the difference is around $18 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your housing situation is another factor that affects your monthly rate. Renters can expect to pay around $10 a month more than homeowners in Youngstown. But those who live at home with their parents can expect to pay significantly more.

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