Teen drivers pay 2–3x more than experienced adults. Rates peak at 16–19, drop sharply through your 20s, and hit their lowest around age 50–55.
A single at-fault accident raises rates 40–50% for 3–5 years. A DUI can double your premium. A clean record for 5 years gets you the best rates.
Full coverage costs roughly 3x more than minimum liability. Raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000 saves about 10–15% on collision and comprehensive.
