Drivers in the United States pay an average of $1,895 each year for full coverage auto insurance. Auto rates have been steadily increasing since 2022, even as consumer inflation has steadied a bit. According to AP, rates rose 2.6% in March 2024, for a total increase of 22% from a year prior. Of course, these rates can vary wildly depending on where an insured lives, and drivers in some states have seen steeper jumps year-to-year than others. For example, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Ohio all experienced average auto rate increases of over 40% from 2022 to 2023.
