How Much Does Insurance go up After a Speeding Ticket?

Car insurance rates typically increase by 25% after a speeding ticket. On average, a driver with a speeding ticket will pay $1,781 a year for full coverage auto insurance. The increase of your car insurance will also vary by the state and by insurance company. Car insurance rates can go increase much more significantly if you are with Liberty Mutual, Progressive, Farmers, so make sure to shop around for car insurance rates to determine which company offer the cheapest rates. In Virginia, car insurance rates will increase by $16/month. A speeding ticket typically stays on a driving record for one to three years, depending on your state. If you’ve gotten a ticket and a related insurance rate increase, ask about your company’s surcharge schedule. This will reveal how long you can expect to suffer the higher rates. You’ll also lose any good driver discounts you had.
