Why does age and gender matter with insurance rates? Statistics show, that a driver with more years of experience are safer drivers than someone just starting out. Wouldn’t you agree?
Males are typically more expensive to insure, based on driving studies. Men statistically receive more speeding tickets and cause more damage in an accident than women do. Companies have to look at these factors to determine the risk. If you are a young male, you will pay close to double what someone in their 40s and 50s will pay. But the good news is, your rates will go down with age!
