The average cost of car insurance is $1,539, according to our most recent study. However, your premium may be higher or lower, depending on multiple variables, including:
Age
Driver record
Location
Type and amount of coverage
Credit score
There are often a number of discounts available with any insurer that take into account certain demographic factors, driving record, and even active driving evaluation. Car insurance quotes are the easiest way to find out how much you may pay. You can get car insurance quotes online or by talking to an agent via email, over the phone, or in person.
How Much Car Insurance Do I Need?
The amount of insurance you need depends on several factors. One of the most important indicators of how much coverage you may need is state requirements. Most states have laws that require drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. Some states also require drivers to carry other types of insurance, such as uninsured motorist coverage or personal injury protection (PIP).
The next thing to consider is any lender or lessor requirements. If you make monthly payments on your vehicle, your loan or lease agreement specifies how much coverage you need to carry. Refer to your lender, lessor, or financing agreement.
