Is Car Insurance Cheaper as You Get Older?

Is car insurance cheaper as you get older? It can be. As you age, typically your driving habits and choice of vehicles change, which can affect your car insurance needs. The Hartford knows that no matter what changes, it’s important to find affordable car insurance so you can save money. You can get great rates and savings through the AARP^® Auto Insurance Program from The Hartford.¹ Through this program, The Hartford helps older drivers get the coverage they need while offering several discounts to lower auto insurance costs. The Hartford prides ourselves on being a trusted provider of car insurance for seniors.

 

In general, older drivers may have lower car insurance rates. Senior drivers pay an average of $1,615 per year or $135 per month on car insurance. This table shows the average annual and monthly car insurance costs by different ages:²

Generally, rates may be lower for those who are 50-69 years old. Studies show that older drivers who are over 50 years old are relatively safe behind the wheel. They typically drive fewer miles and modify their habits in poor driving conditions, which can qualify them for car insurance discounts for seniors. However, as a driver’s age increases, so does their risk of being involved in an accident. Therefore, car insurance rates for seniors may increase again after age 70.

 

Though younger drivers typically pay higher insurance costs compared to older drivers, rates may start to decrease as you get older. Insurers generally charge more for drivers who are under 25 years old, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III).³

 

According to the III, women may pay lower car insurance costs than men because they tend to have fewer and less serious accidents. For example, the average auto insurance cost for a 60-year-old man is $1,552, while women of the same age pay $1,537.⁴

 

Since married drivers are generally considered to be safe drivers and financially stable, they may pay lower car insurance premiums.
