Who Has the Cheapest Car Insurance Quotes for Drivers Under 21 in Milwaukee?

You have probably watched the catchy commercials from car insurance companies like Farmers, Allstate, and State Farm that make claims of huge savings, so drivers just need to pick one at random, right?

Unfortunately, it’s just not that easy, as there are a ton of unknown factors like whether you are a man or a woman, when you were born, your credit rating, and if you have a spouse, that all impact the cost of your policy. In this article, we will cover the types of situations that result in high rates and should give you a good start in finding the cheapest car insurance.

The car, truck, or SUV driven is a large consideration that determines the availability of the cheapest auto insurance for drivers under 21. Vehicles with more horsepower, a lack of safety features, or an increased likelihood of liability claims will cost more to insure than more economical and safe models. The information below estimates car insurance prices for a handful of the most budget-friendly automobiles to insure in Wisconsin.

Discounts applied include claim-free, and safe-driver. Premium costs do not factor in specific zip code location which can revise insurance rates substantially.

Based upon these rates, we can presume that cars like the Ford Escape, Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Ford F-150, and Toyota Prius should be some of the less-costly vehicles to insure for minors. The price of auto insurance will be higher anyway because of the fact that there is more inherent risk for drivers under 21, but generally speaking those models will probably have the least expensive rates compared to all other vehicles.

One of the more important considerations that help determine the amount you pay for auto insurance is where you keep your car in Milwaukee. Larger areas will most likely have higher rates, whereas areas that tend to be more rural benefit from having to pay less for coverage.

Responsible drivers pay cheaper Milwaukee car insurance rates

The ideal way to earn cheap car insurance rates in Milwaukee for minors is to drive safe and not receive tickets or have accidents. The example below shows how speeding tickets and fender-benders can raise insurance prices for each age group. The premium estimates are based on a single male driver, full physical damage coverage, $500 deductibles, and no other discounts are factored in.

In the previous chart, the average cost of auto insurance per year with a clean driving record and no accidents is $1,092. Get written up for one speeding ticket and the average cost hikes up to $1,232, an increase of $139 each year. Then throw in one accident along with the one speeding ticket and the yearly cost of car insurance for drivers under 21 goes up to an average of $1,613. That’s an increase of $521, or $43 per month, just for a couple of infractions!

The chart below highlights how deductible choice can affect annual premium costs when getting quotes for cheap insurance for drivers under 21. The price estimates are based on a single female driver, comprehensive and collision coverage, and no discounts are factored in.

The chart above illustrates that a 30-year-old driver could reduce rates by $282 a year by increasing from a $100 deductible to a $500 deductible, or save $422 by selecting a $1,000 deductible. Even younger drivers, like the 20-year-old category, can save as much as $632 or more by using a higher deductible.

When choosing a higher deductible, it will be required to have additional funds squirreled away to satisfy the extra out-of-pocket expense, which is the one disadvantage of using larger deductibles.
