Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

It makes sense that the older you are, the more experience you have driving, right? When it comes to your monthly premium, that experience can really pay off. As you can see, 18-24-year-olds pay $265 more than drivers 65 and older.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop every 10 years or so. You may see your rates begin to increase again once you hit retirement in Warwick.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Although female drivers pay, on average, less than male drivers for auto insurance coverage, Warwick actually defies this trend. While female drivers pay $225 a month for insurance coverage, males only pay about $210.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Depending on your driving record, your rates can vary quite a lot. A clean driving record will obviously get you a lower rate than one with accidents or infractions. In Warwick, a driving record with one accident will usually get you a rate around $318 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket will be looking at a rate of around $153 a month on average.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can greatly increase your premium. 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, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Warwick are by and large trucks and vans, at $157 per month.

Car owners, on the other hand, usually pay around $219 per month, while SUV drivers can expect to pay about $265 a month for insurance.

Your rates can also vary depending on the age of your vehicle. Newer vehicles are generally going to be the most expensive to insure. However, once your car is a few years old, you may start to see your monthly premium drop back down. The most expensive vehicles to insure in Warwick are vehicles six-to-seven years old and eleven-to-fourteen years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally speaking, married policyholders will pay slightly less for car insurance. This occurs because insurance companies commonly extend special discounts to policyholders with multiple vehicles that are on the same policy.

On a national scale, single drivers typically pay more than married couples do for auto insurance. Warwick is no exception, with the difference totaling to around $105 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

One other element taken into consideration is your housing situation. Renters can expect to pay around $7 a month less than drivers who own property in Warwick. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a good deal more than their counterparts who rent or own.

Many companies, however, will offer you a discount to bundle your home or rental insurance with your auto insurance policy, which can help reduce your average premiums.
