Auto insurance rates across the US continue to rise, and one state continues to pay the steepest premiums, a new report from The Zebra has found. The insurance comparison site carried out a survey of 73 million rates in 2019, and found that the state of Michigan – already infamous in past years for its high rates – had average annual auto insurance rates of $3,096. This represented a 7.3% increase from 2018’s average, and a 39.5% increase over 2011. By comparison, the national average annual auto insurance rate in the US is $1,548. Michigan’s rates are so high, that they are three times higher than the average in Maine or North Carolina – the two states with the lowest rates in America.
