Average Car Insurance Rates by Age

It's pretty safe to assume that the older you are, the more experience you have as a driver. 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 a lot more than someone who is at retirement age.

For every 10 years, you can expect to see a decrease in your monthly premium. Bountiful drivers may see their rates begin to increase again once they hit retirement age.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Gender

Car insurance rates for men are usually slightly more expensive than they are for women. While this isn't true in Bountiful, the difference in monthly rates is minimal.

Average Auto Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your rates can change quite drastically depending on your driving record. Drivers with clean records will pay much lower rates than those with accidents or violations. Drivers in Bountiful with one accident will pay around $78 a month. On a similar note, drivers with one ticket on their record will be looking at a monthly rate of about $84 on average.

When it comes to your monthly bill, accidents, tickets, and other driving infractions can really take a toll. Remember, the safer you are as a driver, the cheaper your car insurance will be.

In addition to vehicle type, you can also expect to see slightly different rates depending on the age of your vehicle. Generally, the most expensive vehicles to insure are going to be newer ones. However, once your car is around 5 years old, you may start to see your monthly premium decrease. In Bountiful, the most expensive vehicles to insure are vehicles less than one year old.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Relationship Status

Overall, those who are currently married will pay slightly less to insure their car. This usually boils down to owners having multiple vehicles on the same policy, something that will often get you a discount.

At a national level, married drivers usually pay less than single drivers for auto insurance. This holds true for Bountiful as well, where the difference is around $11 a month.

Average Car Insurance Rates by Housing Situation

Your living situation is another factor that affects your monthly rate. If you rent your home or apartment, expect to pay around $3 a month more than if you own your own home in Bountiful.
