How much is car insurance in Vermont?

Vermont drivers pay an average of $1,361 per year for full coverage car insurance and $306 per year for minimum coverage. This is considerably less than the national average cost of car insurance, which is $2,388 per year for full coverage and $664 per year for minimum coverage. It's also less than what some neighboring states pay. In the nearby state of New Hampshire, for example, the average cost of car insurance is $1,753 per year for full coverage car insurance and $486 per year for minimum coverage. The average driver in the neighboring state of Massachusetts pays $1,828 per year for full coverage and $481 per year for minimum coverage.

The lower average cost of car insurance may be due, in part, to the fact that Vermont is home to just 564,894 licensed drivers and its roads and bridges are in good condition, two factors that help make insurance premiums in the state especially cheap. The state is also largely rural with few congested urban areas where accidents are typically more frequent. That means insurance companies take on less risk overall when insuring Vermont drivers, leading to lower average rates for policyholders in the state.
