    Cheap car insurance in Jacksonville by age

    Along with where you live, your age is another major factor in the price you pay for car insurance. For example, younger drivers usually pay more than older drivers with similar driving histories and credit scores due to having less experience on the road.

    You could easily find that the cheapest company for you changes as you age. Here's a breakdown of prices in Jacksonville for similar drivers at various ages, according to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis.

    Cheapest for 20-year-olds

    While teen drivers are the most likely to be in an accident, 20-year-old drivers are still relatively new to the road. A higher rate of accidents among younger drivers means they also pay more for car insurance. According to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis, here's what 20-year-olds in Jacksonville might pay, on average.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$4,393
    UAIC$4,405
    State Farm$6,076
    Private Client Select$6,476
    Nationwide$6,631
    Travelers$7,047
    Direct Auto$9,157
    Mercury$9,472
    Allstate$10,798

    Cheapest for 35-year-olds

    By 35, your car insurance rates should plateau. This is a great age to compare rates, as the cheapest insurer you found in your 20s may no longer be the best deal.

    Here’s what 35-year-old drivers might pay, on average, in Jacksonville, according to NerdWallet’s analysis.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$1,924
    State Farm$2,588
    UAIC$2,648
    Travelers$2,656
    Nationwide$3,404
    Private Client Select$3,931
    Allstate$5,051
    Mercury$5,490
    Direct Auto$5,568

    Cheapest for 60-year-olds

    At age 60, your car insurance rates are about as low as they're going to get if your history is clean. Most drivers in this age group have lots of experience on the road and established driving records, so insurers know what they're getting into and charge less accordingly. That doesn't mean you won't be able to save money by bundling or tapping into other discounts, so keep shopping around. Below are the cheapest companies, on average, in Jacksonville, according to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$1,762
    Travelers$2,200
    UAIC$2,287

    Nationwide$2,918

    Jacksonville’s cheapest companies and rates by driving record

    Your driving history also plays a large role in your auto insurance rate. Drivers who have clean records will usually pay less than those with accidents, speeding tickets or other violations. Again, comparing insurance companies is your best bet to getting the lowest rate.

    According to NerdWallet’s analysis, these are the average rates in Jacksonville by company for good drivers and those with violations on their record.

    Good drivers

    Drivers without any marks on their records are almost always going to pay the lowest prices for auto insurance when compared to drivers with an accident or driving violation. Insurers set rates based on the potential risk of you filing a claim, and good drivers are considered among the least risky. Here are the average rates for good drivers in Jacksonville according to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$1,924
    State Farm$2,588
    UAIC$2,648
    Travelers$2,656
    Nationwide$3,404
    Private Client Select$3,931
    Allstate$5,051
    Mercury$5,490
    Direct Auto$5,568

    Drivers with a DUI

    Drivers with a DUI can struggle to find affordable insurance and may need to turn to a high-risk car insurance company. A DUI on your record means you should expect to pay substantially more than a driver without one.

    Here are the average rates for drivers with a DUI in Jacksonville according to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$3,382
    State Farm$3,802
    Travelers$4,462
    Private Client Select$4,560
    UAIC$4,652
    Direct Auto$5,847
    Mercury$7,048
    Bristol West$7,346
    Nationwide$7,654

    Drivers with an at-fault accident

    If you've got an at-fault accident on your record, you'll pay more than a driver with a clean record, but likely less than someone with a DUI. Your insurance company may ask for details about the accident to determine your rate — a fender bender will likely be treated differently from an accident caused by running a red light. Here are the cheapest average rates for drivers with an at-fault accident on their record in Jacksonville, according to NerdWallet’s most recent analysis.

    CompanyMedian annual rate
    Geico$2,718
    State Farm$3,318
    UAIC$3,446
    Travelers$3,664
    Nationwide$4,946
    Private Client Select$5,855
    Direct Auto$7,045
    Mercury$7,464
    Allstate$8,364

    Shop around to get cheap insurance

    No matter what company you're currently getting auto insurance from, remember that it's important to shop around and compare quotes from multiple companies. Prices and offers change over time, and you may be able to save by switching to another insurer.

    Be sure to take advantage of potential discounts. Many insurers offer car insurance discounts for things like bundling other types of insurance with your auto policy or going years without filing a claim.

    Methodology

    NerdWallet averaged rates based on public filings obtained by pricing analytics company Quadrant Information Services. We examined rates for men and women for all ZIP codes in any of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Although it’s one of the largest insurers in the country, Liberty Mutual is not included in our rates analysis due to a lack of publicly available information.

    In our analysis, “good drivers” had no moving violations on record; a “good driving” discount was included for this profile. Our “good” and “poor” credit rates are based on credit score approximations and do not account for proprietary scoring criteria used by insurance providers.

    These are average rates, and your rate will vary based on your personal details, state and insurance provider.

    Sample drivers had the following coverage limits:

    • $100,000 bodily injury liability coverage per person.

    • $300,000 bodily injury liability coverage per crash.

    • $50,000 property damage liability coverage per crash.

    • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage per person.

    • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage per crash.

    • Collision coverage with $1,000 deductible.

    • Comprehensive coverage with $1,000 deductible.

    In states where required, minimum additional coverages were added. We used the same assumptions for all other driver profiles, with the following exceptions:

    • For drivers with minimum coverage, we adjusted the numbers above to reflect only the minimum coverage required by law in the state.

    • We changed the credit tier from “good” to “poor” as reported to the insurer to see rates for drivers with poor credit. In states where credit isn’t taken into account, we used only rates for “good credit.”

    • For drivers with one at-fault crash, we added a single at-fault crash costing $10,000 in property damage.

    • For drivers with a speeding ticket, we added a single speeding ticket from within the last six months. 

    • For drivers with a DUI, we added a single drunken driving violation.

    We used a 2021 Toyota Camry LE in all cases and assumed 12,000 annual miles driven.
