A new study suggests that a combination of climate-related disasters, inflation, and rising new car prices could surge insurance premiums this year.

Increased repair costs put pressure on insurers, leading to legislative activity and rate approvals that triggered significant car insurance premium hikes in early 2024. A report from Insurify revealed a 28 percent increase in the cost of full coverage car insurance nationwide between June 2023 and June 2024. Still, drivers in certain states faced even steeper rate hikes - some surpassing 50 percent.
