Average car insurance costs by age and gender in New York

In New York State, the age on your driver's license is a key factor in determining the premium you'll pay for car insurance, with gender playing a more minor role in rate-setting. Teens and other drivers under age 25 pay the highest rates, especially if they're male. While some argue this practice may be discriminatory, actuarial data consistently shows a higher rate of crashes and fatalities among young men compared to other groups, which insurers use as a tool to estimate risk.

Cost considerations for young drivers in New York 

In most cases, staying on a family policy as long as possible — that is, until they move out and have a separate mailing address — is the best way for young drivers to keep their car insurance bills affordable. When the risk associated with young drivers is diffused by more experienced drivers on the policy, the risk-based rate increase is smaller.

How does driving record impact the cost of car insurance in New York?

Drivers with past incidents — including but not limited to speeding tickets, at-fault accidents and DWI convictions — typically pay higher rates for auto coverage in New York. If you're struggling to find coverage due to your record, or if you need an SR-22 certificate, you may need to seek out a carrier that specializes in high-risk auto insurance.

Car insurance rates in New York by credit

Like most states, New York permits insurers to factor an applicant's credit history into the rate they pay for auto insurance. Rather than using your credit score, insurers use a proprietary number called an insurance score based on data from credit reporting agencies, which is used as an indicator of a driver's likelihood of filing future claims.
