How much do drivers like you spend on auto insurance?

Whether you’re a teenager, an established married couple, or a single female over 40, you’ll be quoted a different auto insurance premium. To help gauge what you might pay for auto insurance, we calculated premiums based on data gathered for a driver with one minor violation (such as a ticket), 15,000 annual mileage, and minimum state liability coverage. All of the cars used were different, a factor that can make premiums vary. This is a good start to see where you’ll find the cheapest coverage for your age group.
