Bankrate’s guide to comparing car insurance rates
It may be more crucial than ever to ensure you have the right amount of car insurance. With record inflation potentially leaving drivers underinsured and an estimated 12.6% of all drivers driving without insurance, getting into an accident could quickly cause your out-of-pocket costs to skyrocket.
What are car insurance rates and how do they work?
Although “rate” and “premium” are often used interchangeably to refer to the cost of a car insurance policy for a customer, they are not quite the same. A car insurance rate is a unit of cost that an insurance company calculates based on individual rating factors, such as driving record and location, to determine a driver’s risk and the cost of insuring them.
After determining a driver’s rate, car insurance companies also consider a driver’s selected coverage options and limits to calculate the estimated premium. The premium is what a customer would pay for coverage during the policy term, which is usually six or 12 months.
Our car insurance rates methodology
- $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
- $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
- $50,000 property damage liability per accident
- $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
- $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
- $500 collision deductible
- $500 comprehensive deductible

Car insurance rates by age
Age is another component that insurers typically use to calculate car insurance rates. When analyzing premiums of car insurance by age, young drivers under the age of 25 typically face more expensive premiums compared to adults. This is seen in the rate tables below for drivers ranging from 16 to 70 years old. The difference in premium is driven largely in part to their lack of experience compared to older drivers, which may result in more dangerous driving behaviors. Hawaii and Masssachusetts do not allow insurers to use age as a rating factor. Bankrate has compiled age-related data from several carriers based on 2022 rates pulled from Quadrant Information Services to give you an idea of how much you might pay at different points in your life.
Car insurance for teen drivers
Teen drivers are inexperienced, which can lead to a greater likelihood of accidents. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that teens have a higher crash rate than any other age group. Because of this, teens typically cost more to insure than older drivers. Bankrate found that, depending on your teen’s age, major insurers like Geico, Nationwide and USAA tend to have lower average rates.
When getting quotes, car insurance companies will ask the age of every licensed driver that will be listed on the policy. This is important information to help insurers assess your household’s risk. Even adult motorists who recently got their driver’s license are inexperienced on the road, which can result in higher premiums for several years. If you have a teen who has a learner’s permit and is about to get their driver’s license, including them in your quote as a licensed driver may help you understand what your policy will actually cost once they get their license. This will help you avoid surprises about the policy’s cost later down the road.

Car insurance for drivers in their 20s
Drivers in their 20s will begin to see their premiums decrease, especially after age 25. Keep in mind that drivers in their early 20s will still see high average rates for full coverage car insurance if they own their own vehicle and are on their own car insurance policy as auto insurers consider them higher risk compared to older adults.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 20-YEAR-OLDS | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 25-YEAR-OLDS |

Car insurance for drivers in their 30s
Drivers in their 30s will enjoy fairly low average annual full coverage car insurance premiums by age, as long as they maintain a clean driving record.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 30-YEAR-OLDS* |
|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,449 |

| CARRIER | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 40-YEAR-OLDS* |
|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,438 |

Car insurance for drivers in their 50s
Drivers in their 50s with a clean driving record and, in most states, good credit, typically enjoy the lowest average full coverage car insurance rates of any age group. This group statistically presents the lowest risk for insurers.

Car insurance for senior drivers
Senior drivers, typically defined as age 60 and older, may see their car insurance rates begin to creep back up, although some insurers don’t begin to adjust rates until you reach age 70. That is because senior drivers statistically are at greater risk of being in an accident. Aging-related health factors, like decreased eyesight, can impair a driver and increase the risk of accidents. Based on our analysis, older adults may want to consider getting quotes from USAA, Erie and Auto-Owners for low-cost coverage as these carriers offer favorable rates for senior drivers.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 60-YEAR-OLDS | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM FOR 70-YEAR-OLDS |
|---|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,208 | $2,275 |
| Amica | $1,462 | $1,807 |
| Auto-Owners | $1,178 | $1,289 |

| Geico | $1,216 | $1,377 |
| Nationwide | $1,189 | $1,335 |
| Progressive | $1,382 | $1,553 |

| USAA | $1,132 | $1,260 |
Car insurance rates by driving history
Keeping a clean motor vehicle record (MVR) is one of the best ways to avoid premium increases on your car insurance policy. Because car insurance rates are based on risk, high-risk drivers generally pay more for coverage and may have trouble obtaining coverage from standard auto insurers. Insurers will review the driving history of all drivers on the policy by obtaining MVR and Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) reports (which provides your auto claims history) so providing this information upfront will help ensure you receive an accurate quote.
Auto insurance rates after a speeding ticket
Speeding tickets are relatively common, but they can still be an indication of high-risk driver behavior. As such, a speeding ticket on your MVR increases average premiums by about 21% per year. On top of the increased insurance costs, you may need to pay fines and even license and/or vehicle registration reinstatement fees, depending on the severity of your infraction.
Speeding tickets can significantly affect your quotes. If your ticket has not been processed, meaning it is not yet listed on your MVR, your rate will be affected once that ticket is added to your driving record. A car insurance company may notice the change and charge more for a moving violation if your MVR is re-pulled, which usually happens at your policy’s renewal. On the other hand, when tickets reach a certain age (time period varies by state and auto insurer, but typically ranges from three to 10 years), they may “fall off” your record. This means that the insurance carrier is no longer adding a surcharge for them, which can positively affect your rates and may be a good time to shop your coverage with other carriers.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM PRE-TICKET | AVERAGE FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM POST-TICKET |
|---|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,438 | $2,893 |
| Amica | $1,495 | $1,820 |

| USAA | $354 | $428 |
Auto insurance rates after an at-fault accident
Accidents on your MVR will typically increase your premiums. If you have caused one or more at-fault accidents, car insurance companies may view you as more likely to cause an accident again in the future and so your rates are raised accordingly.
The table below shows average rates before and after an at-fault accident from several major car insurance companies. On average, rates increase 42% annually after an at-fault accident. It is important to note that even if you have accident forgiveness with your current insurer (meaning they won’t raise your rate because of an at-fault accident), that accident will likely affect your quoted rates with other insurers, as it is included on your MVR. Accident forgiveness does not transfer between carriers and has to be earned or purchased with new providers.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM PRE-ACCIDENT | AVERAGE FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM POST-ACCIDENT |
|---|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,438 | $3,149 |
| Amica | $1,495 | $1,782 |

Auto insurance rates after a DUI
DUIs are among the most serious offenses that a driver can commit and come with an average annual premium increase of 93%, as well as the potential of a suspended license and registration, numerous fines and other penalties based on your state’s regulations. They can also stay on your driving record for life in some states. Finding car insurance with a DUI on your MVR may be much more difficult than it is with a clean driving record, as not all insurance companies will agree to insure such risky drivers.
| CARRIER | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM BEFORE A DUI | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM AFTER A DUI |
|---|---|---|
| Allstate | $2,438 | $3,556 |
| Amica | $1,495 | $3,998 |

Car insurance rates by credit score
In most states, your credit tier will affect your car insurance premium. Generally, drivers with lower credit-based insurance scores tend to file more claims and are thus viewed as a higher risk by carriers. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Michigan ban or restrict the use of credit as an auto insurance rating factor. Please note that Bankrate’s overall average rates for a 40-year-old reflect a driver with a credit score in the ‘good’ range, so average rates for drivers with good credit are not highlighted here.

Car insurance rates by vehicle
One of the biggest premium rating factors for auto insurance is the type of vehicle you drive. Your vehicle’s make and model can impact everything from safety features to repair costs. The table below shows the average annual full coverage premiums for vehicles best suited to a broad range of lifestyles and budgets. On your quote, you may notice that your vehicle type affects your coverage costs. For example, collision and comprehensive costs may be higher on a vehicle with more expensive replacement parts than on a vehicle that has cheaper and more readily-available parts.
The price of medical coverage may be partly based on the vehicle’s safety features, which help protect you and any passengers in your vehicle. If you are shopping for a new vehicle, you may want to obtain quotes for each vehicle you consider purchasing, as they will have different rates.
| MAKE AND MODEL | AVERAGE ANNUAL FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM | AVERAGE MONTHLY FULL COVERAGE PREMIUM |
|---|---|---|
| BMW 330i | $2,270 | $189 |
| Ford F-150 | $1,523 | $127 |
| Honda Odyssey | $1,542 | $129 |
| Toyota Prius | $1,924 | $160 |
How to compare car insurance
Before you start the process of looking for car insurance, take some time to consider what’s most important to you. Maybe you’ve outfitted your car with aftermarket parts and other customizations, and need specific coverage for this. Or maybe you have a child who’s about to become a new driver and need competitive rates.
Whether you’re looking for endless coverage options or just basic coverage, understanding what you want will help guide you towards carriers that most closely fit those needs. Once you’re ready to get started, here’s how you can streamline the process:
1. Collect personal information
When you quote car insurance online or over the phone, you'll likely share the same personal information. To streamline to process, be sure to have the following available:
- Driver information: You'll need the names, birthdays and driver's license numbers of all the drivers you would like to add to your quote.
- Vehicle information: At the very least, you will need to provide the makes and models of the vehicles you need to be covered. If you can, you may want to include your vehicle identification numbers (VIN), as this information may provide you with a more accurate quote.
- Driving history: During the quote, the car insurance company may ask if any drivers have been in any accidents or received tickets within a specific timeframe. If you don't advise the company of past driving activity, your quoted premium may go up once the company reviews your driving records after you decide to purchase the policy.
- Usage information: The quoting company may ask to describe how you use your vehicle. For instance, they may want to know if you commute to work and, if so, how many miles it is one way. They may also ask for an estimated annual mileage.
2. Choose the right coverage levels
After you provide your personal and vehicle information, the company will ask you what coverage types you would like to include in your quote. When selecting your level of coverage, your individual needs and financial goals will dictate what coverage package is best for you. For instance, if you are leasing your vehicle, you will probably have to carry liability limits higher than your state’s required minimum limits. Or, you may be a high-risk driver with an SR-22 requirement. Regardless of your selections, you may want to ask for similar coverage options on each quote to ensure you are conducting an apples-to-apples comparison.
3. Compare auto insurance quotes
After you’ve shared your information with the insurance company, you will receive back a proposal of coverage, or quote. This document gives an estimate of how much an insurance policy would cost with that carrier, and includes any discounts you may be eligible for. When you receive quotes back, be sure that the coverage options and limits are exactly the same. This will help ensure you’re comparing carriers accurately.
4. Evaluate company features and reputation
There are numerous insurance carriers on the market, which can make it difficult to choose from. Some are national carriers available in every state, while others are regional and only available to a select few states. Many third-party agencies, like AM Best and J.D. Power, regularly evaluate insurance carriers for financial strength, claims satisfaction and more. To help inform your decision, you can also rely on our Bankrate Scores, which look at a wide variety of criteria ranging from mobile app accessibility, customer service, availability, coverage options and more to help you learn more about an insurance carrier.
