Plootus Report: Car Insurance Hits $2,314 as State Cost Gap Reaches $3,858/Year

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - EntSun -- Plootus today released its Average Car Insurance Cost by State Rankings Report, examining rate data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and insurer rate filings. The national average full-coverage auto insurance premium has risen to $2,314 per year ($193/month), up 12% year-over-year.

Driven by climate-related claims, legal environments, and rising vehicle repair costs, state premiums range from $1,083/year in Vermont to $4,941/year in Florida—a $3,858 annual difference. Over a 20-year career, investing that $3,858 premium difference at a 7% average return generates $160,000+ in additional retirement savings.

"Car insurance has quietly become a significant budget drag for suburban and rural households," said the Plootus Research Team. "Where you live plays a larger role in your rate than your personal driving record."

"Overpaying $1,500 a year for car insurance isn't just an ongoing nuisance," concluded the Plootus Research Team. "It's $61,500 in lost retirement growth over two decades."
