Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

The longer you've been on the road, the more experienced of a driver you are. That experience can turn into some real savings when it comes to car insurance premiums. According to the table above, you can see that 18-24-year-olds pay two times as much as someone who is at retirement age.

You can expect to see your monthly premium drop about once a decade or so. Once you hit retirement, however, you may see your rates climb back up a bit in Clinton.

In general, women pay slightly less for car insurance than men. This is true in Clinton, where women pay around $9 less a month. As you can see in the table above, female drivers in the area typically pay $48 on average, while female drivers typically pay $57 each month.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Rates can change drastically depending on your driving record. A clean driving record will obviously get you a lower rate than one with accidents or infractions. In Clinton, a driving record with a single accident will usually get you a rate around $45 a month. Similarly, if you have one ticket on your record, you will be looking at an average rate of around $65.

Accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can cost you some serious cash. Remember, the safer you are as a driver, the cheaper your car insurance will be.

Average Insurance Rates by Vehicle

As you can see in the first table above, the cheapest vehicles to insure in Clinton are by and large SUVs, which run about $43 per month.

Truck and van drivers will see rates of about $45 for auto insurance coverage, while car owners usually pay around $62 per month.

Vehicle age has an impact on the cost of your policy as well. Generally, the most expensive vehicles to insure are going to be newer ones. Once your car is a few years old, however, you may see your bill start to shrink a bit. In Clinton, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles six-to-seven years old and eleven-to-fourteen years old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

More often than not, 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.

According to the table above, the difference in rates based on relationship status in Clinton can be as much as $11 a month, so it's worth taking into consideration.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Another factor taken into consideration is your housing situation. Renters can expect to pay around $8 a month less than homeowners in Clinton. Those who live with their parents, however, can expect to pay a lot more.
