Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car insurance cost in 2026?+
National average: $1,750/year full coverage ($145/month). Minimum liability: $550/year. Rates range from $1,100 (Maine) to $3,200 (Michigan) by state.
Why is my car insurance so high?+
Top factors: age (under 25 = 50–80% more), driving record (DUI = 80–100% increase), credit score (poor = 50–100% more in most states), location (urban = 30% more), and vehicle type.
How can I lower my car insurance?+
Bundle auto+home (save 15–25%), raise deductible from $500 to $1,000 (save 10–15%), maintain good credit, drive less (low-mileage discount), take defensive driving course, and shop rates annually.
Does my credit score affect insurance?+
In most states yes—except CA, HI, MA, MI. Drivers with poor credit (below 580) pay 50–100% more than those with excellent credit (800+).
Full coverage vs liability—which do I need?+
If your car is worth >$4,000 or you have a loan/lease, get full coverage. For older cars worth <$3,000, liability only may save money. Calculate: if premium >10% of car value, drop comprehensive/collision.
