Average car insurance costs by age and gender in Louisiana
Louisiana car insurance rates vary by age, as is the case in other states. Younger drivers pay some of the highest premiums, even when added to their parents’ policies, due to their inexperience and increased likelihood of being involved in an accident.
Males tend to pay higher rates than females, as well. This is because men are statistically more likely to engage in risky driving behavior than women. Rates can creep up again for seniors, as well — although they generally aren’t as high as teen rates so long as the driver has a clean driving record.

Bankrate’s take: Not all states allow insurers to factor gender into rates, but in states where it’s allowed, it is often noted that male drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in traffic incidents or file claims. To compensate for this increased risk, insurers often charge male drivers more for coverage.
Cost considerations for young drivers in Louisiana
If you are a younger driver with your own policy, the average car insurance cost in Louisiana is even higher than if you were added to your parents’ policy. Eighteen-year-olds on their own policies pay a staggering $10,608 per year on average for full coverage. However, rates typically decrease as drivers get older and gain more experience.

How does driving record impact the cost of car insurance in Louisiana?
Drivers of any age who are cited for speeding or driving under the influence or who are responsible for an accident will likely face higher rates than drivers with a clean driving record. For example, in Louisiana, someone with a single speeding ticket pays approximately 22 percent more compared to the state’s average cost of insurance, and a DUI conviction could cost you 73 percent more for insurance than if you had no incidents on your record.
Considering that Louisiana auto insurance rates are already high, such increases could certainly put a strain on your budget. Depending on the infractions, these incidents could see you labeled a high-risk driver or mean you’ll need to file an SR-22, as well. It's also worth noting that not all insurers are willing to write policies for those with a DUI on their record, and if this is the case, you would need to switch to another insurer.

Car insurance rates in Louisiana by credit score
It may surprise you to learn that your credit history can affect your car insurance premiums, but it’s true in most states — including Louisiana. Car insurance companies here are allowed to use your credit-based insurance score to calculate your premium.
Car insurance for drivers with poor credit tends to be more expensive because data shows that those with lower credit scores are more likely to file claims. Drivers with poor credit in Louisiana typically pay 76 percent more than the state average for full coverage and 115 percent more than drivers with excellent credit.

Louisiana car insurance rates by vehicle type
Finally, we analyzed Louisiana car insurance rates by vehicle make and model. Vehicles that cost less to repair and replace generally have lower rates. Other aspects of a vehicle’s make and model can affect premiums, as well, including safety features and the statistical likelihood of an accident. This might explain why sports cars generally cost more to insure.

How to save on car insurance in Louisiana
Louisiana's average car insurance rates are relatively high compared to the national average. Fortunately, there may be ways to lower your personal costs for auto insurance. Consider taking these steps:
- Shop around: Car insurance companies offer different rates for the same coverage, so you might find a lower-priced policy with another company.
- Drive safely: Accidents and tickets are some of the biggest drivers of premium increases. Safe driving can help you keep your rates as low as possible.
- Bundle your policies: Buying car and home insurance together with the same company might lower your premium a significant amount.
- Sign up for telematics: Allowing your insurance company to track your driving by enrolling in a telematics program could result in savings.
- Keep up your grades: Younger drivers in high school or college could qualify for a good student discount if they maintain good grades.
