Car Insurance: Single vs Married FAQs
Do widows and widowers get a car insurance rate increase for becoming single?
In states where the practice of using marital status to determine car insurance is not banned, a widower's insurance rate will likely increase.

Will my car insurance increase if I get divorced?
Car insurance rates may increase after divorce because single people are rated with higher premiums in states that allow marital status to be used as a determining factor.

What discounts can single people qualify for?
Bundling homeowners insurance, business insurance and life insurance will receive discounts. A good student discount may apply for those in high school or college, if they have a B or higher. Low mileage discounts are applied if you report driving very few miles a year.

Do you have to add a spouse to your car insurance?
Most insurers require that you list all the people who live in your home, including a spouse, unless you live in a state where you can exclude the spouse. Both people's driving records and other factors, like credit scores, will be evaluated for rating, unless using credit scores for insurance rating is illegal in your state.
