Car insurance in Alexandria for an adult with a clean driving record and good insurance score costs $2,747 a year for a full coverage policy, according to CarInsurance.com data.

But that’s just an average. Insurance companies look at drivers as individuals, factoring in their age, driving history, the make and model of their car and other factors.

Where you live is also a big factor. Car insurance rates can vary greatly from city to city and even from ZIP code to ZIP code within a city.

More traffic typically translates to more accidents and claims, so insurers look at neighborhoods and consider population density, road conditions, weather and other factors.

Some ZIP codes have much more auto theft than other areas. Insurers will thus charge higher premiums in those zip codes because the risk of loss is much higher. Other ZIP codes have a lot more car wrecks and the insurance company will charge higher premiums to cover the risk,” says James Brau, professor of finance at Brigham Young University. “Imagine a densely-crowded ZIP code where a lot of folks are driving versus a code out in a rural area where you hardly ever see another car. The odds of more wrecks and thefts are higher where there are a ton of vehicles — it becomes a statistics exercise.

Knowing where you live and what you’re likely to pay can be a big help when shopping for auto insurance.

That’s why our experts have created this comprehensive guide to help you make intelligent decisions about car insurance. The guide provides the average car insurance rates in Alexandria by coverage levels, age, city and ZIP code. It also lists the cheapest car insurance carriers and rates in Alexandria.

Companies with the cheapest insurance by driver profile in Alexandria, LA

Personal factors can affect how much you pay for car insurance in states that allow it. Insurance companies do use a driver’s age as a rating factor as more driving experience leads to lower rates – and vice versa. However, not all states allow gender and credit score to be used when setting car insurance rates.

Cheapest rates for drivers in Alexandria, LA, by age

Age is a key factor when considering car insurance rates in most cities, including Alexandria – it’s one of several key factors taken into account by insurers to determine premiums.

Teens (age 16 to 19) are more prone to accidents because they’re inexperienced drivers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), teen drivers are far more likely to be involved in fatal collisions than adult drivers. The higher the chances of an accident, the higher the car insurance rates.

Drivers in their 40s, 50s and 60s pay less for their car insurance premiums when compared to teen drivers because they are more likely to follow traffic rules, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
