The cost of car insurance in Indiana varies from one city to another and even by ZIP code.

Average Indiana car insurance rates by age and gender

Your age and gender are two key factors that affect your car insurance rates.

Generally speaking, your insurance premiums decrease throughout your life. Teens and other young drivers pay the highest rates, while more experienced drivers in their 50s and 60s pay some of the lowest premiums. Rates increase again around age 70, as senior drivers often have slower reflex times that can affect their driving ability.4

Gender can also play a part in your insurance rates. Women often pay less for car insurance because they tend to have fewer — and less severe — accidents. This trend holds true in Indiana, where women pay slightly less for car insurance than men.
