Every ten years or so you can expect to see a decline in your monthly premium. You may see your rates creep back up a bit once you hit retirement in Chesnee.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

On average, female drivers pay slightly less than male drivers for car insurance. In Chesnee, however, men actually pay slightly less than female drivers to insure their car.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your driving record can have a huge impact on your car insurance rates. A clean driving record will get you a lower rate than one with even just a single accident or infraction. In Chesnee, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $133 a month. Likewise, drivers with one ticket will be looking at a rate of around $94 a month on average.

Regardless of where you live, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can drive your monthly bill way up. So, if cheaper car insurance is important to you, keep your record clean and drive safe.

In Chesnee, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles six-to-seven years old and four-to-five years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Generally, car insurance is slightly cheaper for married policyholders. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something many companies offer special discounts for.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your housing status is another factor that affects your monthly rate. Renters can expect to pay around $11 a month more than those who own their own home in Chesnee. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a lot more.
