Men’s car insurance
Men’s car insurance denotes auto insurance policies evaluated and priced with gender-based actuarial data, such as men under 25 paying an average of $820 more annually than women (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). Men aged 16-19 incur higher premiums due to a fatal crash rate nearly double that of same-aged women, per National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Insurers factor statistical trends showing men file more claims for high-speed collisions, demonstrated by Progressive’s 2023 report. Some states, including California and Michigan, ban gender rating for auto policies, citing fairness in regulation, per Your Insurance Info.
The majority of major insurers–Geico, State Farm, Allstate–use gender among risk variables when state law permits. Men age out of the “high-risk” surcharge at approximately 25 years old, backed by Allstate pricing models.
Married men typically see lower rates compared to single men based on actuarial tables published by the NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners). Data from ValuePenguin shows men with DUIs pay up to 62% more for car insurance versus women with similar records.
Insurers use telematics programs, like Progressive Snapshot or State Farm Drive Safe & Save, allowing men to earn discounts by proving safe driving regardless of gender-based assumptions. Most online quotes require drivers to self-report their gender; failure to disclose accurate information may void policy coverage according to insurer terms of service.
