Car insurance premiums in the U.S. have risen by 33 percent between 2010 and 2016, adding a sizable burden to car owners, especially if they’re also paying off a car loan.
Insurance premiums depend on many factors, including the driver’s age, driving record and location. Another big factor is, of course, the type of the vehicle.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety collects data on insurance claim frequency and insurance cost per vehicle. On average, insurance companies make claim payments of around $900 per vehicle, with some claiming more than double this amount.
