Cost of Car Insurance in Cary

Did you know? The average cost of Cary car insurance is $163 per month. 

Cary car insurance is affordable for most drivers. When considering the price, insurance companies consider: 

  • Your vehicle's age
  • Your vehicle’s make and model
  • Your average annual mileage
  • Your age
  • Other personal characteristics 

Don’t overpay for car insurance. An agent will find a policy that protects you from the risks you face and fits within your budget.

 Cary Car Insurance Requirements

Cary car insurance helps you pay for damage or injuries that you cause if you are at fault for an accident. But if you only purchase the minimum coverage amount required by the state, you may be under-protected if you are involved in a serious crash. Consider what a Cary car insurance policy can do for you before you decide how much coverage you need.

Who Pays If the Accident Wasn’t My Fault?

The driver who caused the accident, of course. But approximately 9.1% of drivers in North Carolina are uninsured. If an uninsured driver gets in an accident, the other driver has to cover all of the expenses, even if the uninsured driver is at fault. That's why you need “uninsured motorist coverage.” It covers your vehicle damage and medical expenses if you are hit by an uninsured driver. Without this specific coverage, your own insurance wouldn’t pay either. Not all states require drivers to purchase uninsured motorist coverage. But North Carolina does require you to have uninsured motorist coverage.

What Affects the Cost of Cary Car Insurance?

Monthly auto insurance premiums vary greatly from person to person. Your payment will be based on:

  • Your age
  • Where you live
  • Your driving history
  • The kind of car you drive
  • The number of cars and drivers in your household

The type of car you drive plays a huge role in what you pay for car insurance. Would your car be expensive to repair or replace? If yes, expect your car insurance to cost more, too. If you want to keep your rates low, consider driving a modest car (e.g., a used mini-van) that is rarely targeted by thieves and is inexpensive to repair. 

City Factors that will Affect Your Rate:

Commute Time

The more time you spend on the roads, the more likely it is that you'll be in an accident. Cary drivers have an average commute time of 20.3 minutes which is about 5 min less than the national average. 

  • National average: 25.4 minutes
  • Cary average: 20.3 minutes

Number of Auto Thefts in Cary

Cary has a very low auto theft rate relative to the U.S. overall. This is good news for Cary drivers who likely enjoy lower car insurance rates as a result. But no matter where you live, you need to protect your car from auto theft. And you need good auto insurance to help you pay to replace your car if it is stolen. A Cary auto insurance policy can help you replace your car quickly after a theft. 

  • National number of thefts for 1,000 vehicles: 2.28
  • Number of thefts for 1,000 vehicles in Cary: 0.69
