In 2023, auto insurance rates rose nearly 25% not only because of auto accidents, but also because of hurricane damages and loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average cost of full-coverage auto insurance policies last year was $2,019. That was up to 2.6% of the median household income. For 2024, auto insurance rates will eat more of our income because of the high rate of inflation.
