Liability insurance prices vary considerably depending on the state you live in, so it’s always a good idea to get some quotes to see how rates stack up. Each state has a minimum liability amount that is required, but that minimum is often inadequate in the case of more serious claims and accidents.
Additional rates and information
Other scenarios that affect the cost of insurance are listed below along with a few ways to reduce your monthly insurance bill.
- Get cheaper rates because of your choice of occupation. Many auto insurance companies offer discounts for working in professions like emergency medical technicians, the military, police officers and law enforcement, high school and elementary teachers, college professors, and others. If you can earn this discount, you may save between $51 and $183 on your annual insurance bill.
- Compass car insurance rates for teenagers are high. Average rates for full coverage Compass insurance costs $6,258 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $5,792 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $5,388 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
- Increasing deductibles makes car insurance cheaper. Increasing your policy deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $234 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $452 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- Decreasing deductibles will cost more. Lowering your policy deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $242 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $474 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
- A clean driving record saves money. To earn the cheapest Jeep Compass insurance rates, it pays to be an excellent driver.

Major convictions like DWI and leaving the scene of an accident could raise rates by an additional $1,560 or more.
- Expect to pay a lot for high-risk insurance. For a 50-year-old driver, the need to buy a high-risk policy can increase the cost by $2,012 or more per year.
