Drivers in small towns have fewer auto accidents than drivers in large cities. In addition, cars in cities are more likely to be hit by theft and vandalism; so drivers in large cities will typically pay more for car insurance.
Statistically speaking, your age has a significant impact on your auto insurance rates. Drivers under 25 years of age are more likely to be involved in accidents than drivers over 25, and will pay more. Drivers between age 50 and 65 are the statistically safest group; they usually have the lowest insurance rates.
The statistics indicate that married drivers have fewer accidents than single drivers. If you're married, you may pay less than your single friends.
Men, particularly young men, are much more likely than women to be involved in accidents. Young men should expect to pay higher insurance premiums. Note that in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, your gender cannot be used to determine your rate.
