Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The more time you have behind the wheel, the more experienced of a driver you should be. When it comes to your monthly premium, that experience can really pay off. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay a lot more than someone who is retirement aged.

For every 10 years, you can expect to see a drop in your monthly premium. Once you hit retirement age, however, you may see your rates start to rise again in Butler.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Although female drivers pay, on average, less than male drivers for insurance coverage, Butler actually bucks this trend. While female drivers pay $52 per month for car insurance, males only pay about $46.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Depending on your driving record, your rates can vary quite a lot. Drivers with clean records will pay much lower rates than those with accidents or violations. In Butler, a driving record with one accident will usually get you a rate around $54 a month. In addition, drivers with a single ticket on their record can expect to pay around $56 a month on average.

Wherever you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can cost you some serious cash. So, if cheaper car insurance is important to you, keep your record clean and drive safe.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

According to the first table above, trucks and vans are typically the cheapest vehicles to insure in Butler, with drivers paying around $45 per month to insure their vehicle.

Car and SUVs, however, both cost about the same amount for insurance -- around $50 a month.

Your rates can also vary 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. The most expensive vehicles to insure in Butler are vehicles eight-to-ten years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, those who have settled down into marriage will pay slightly less for auto insurance. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something that will often get you a discount.

The difference in rates based on relationship status in Butler can be as much as $7 a month, so it's worth keeping that in mind.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your living accommodations is another component of how insurance companies calculate your monthly rate. Whether rent your home or own property in Butler, you can expect to pay around $49 per month.

That said, if you bundle your homeowners or rental insurance policy with your auto insurance, many companies will offer you a discount to make up for it and reduce your car insurance premiums.
