Unhappy Customer
The little transponder (or whatever it is) that goes on the windshield feels like nothing but a “gotcha.” There’s no opportunity to explain anything, and it even registers normal maneuvers in Atlanta traffic as negatives. Also, I got a $20 rate increase at 6 months without an explanation, and I had to take an additional safe driver course (even though I already had one on file) to get a $10 reduction. I’ve never had a chargeable accident, never a DUI, and my last ticket was 20+ years ago. I feel like I’m being charged more because I’m 83, which seems improper in the first place. I’m searching for another provider who deals honestly like SF did years ago. No problems with my agency—they’re good—just the company.

Why we picked this company

State Farm is the largest insurer in the U.S., and one of the company’s biggest advantages is its large in-person insurance agent network. From Atlanta to Grovetown, La Fayette, or Savannah, if you value face-to-face customer service, you can visit an agent in your local area.

State Farm also offers senior drivers many ways to save with discounts for good drivers, bundling, vehicle safety features, and more.

Pros
  • High J.D. Power customer claims ratings in Southeast region

  • Safe driver discount

  • Defensive driving course discount

Cons
  • No accident forgiveness coverage

  • Gap insurance coverage limited to State Farm Bank customers

  • Poor Trustpilot rating

How we chose the best car insurance companies for seniors in Georgiaexpand/collapse

Our editorial team analyzed our proprietary data, more than 80,000 verified user reviews, and third-party industry ratings to choose the best insurers for senior drivers in Georgia. We also weighed rate affordability for senior drivers, coverage options, available senior-friendly and senior-specific discounts, customer satisfaction rankings, customer service reviews, and financial strength.

How much does car insurance for seniors cost in Georgia? 

The average cost of car insurance for a 60-year-old driver in Georgia is $185 per month, approximately 15% cheaper than average rates for a 30-year-old driver. Georgia drivers aged 55 and older tend to have lower crash rates and practice safer driving. But older drivers are more likely to suffer serious injuries if they’re in a crash.

One of the most common contributors to single-vehicle crashes in Georgia involving drivers 65 years and older is collisions with fixed objects or animals, like deer.

Drivers aged 65–74 account for 7% of crashes in Georgia, and drivers aged 75–84 account for nearly 3%.

Rates begin to increase for Georgia seniors around age 70, with average premiums of $201 per month. The increase is due to the high risk that older drivers pose, as advancing age can lead to impairments that affect driving ability.

The following table shows how rates differ for Georgia seniors in their 60s and 70s.

Car insurance discounts for senior drivers in Georgia

To reward driving experience and safer driving habits, many insurers offer discounts for senior drivers. Some common senior-friendly discounts include:

  • Clean driving record: Senior drivers with a clean driving history can often secure a lower annual premium. If you’re one of the 4% of Georgia drivers with a speeding ticket, or the nearly 5% with an accident on their record, you might not qualify for this discount.

  • Military and veteran discounts: With 16% of Georgia’s veteran population being seniors, many seniors and their families have an opportunity to take advantage of military discounts.[2]

  • Defensive driving discounts: Georgia requires discounts for drivers 50 and older who complete a driver safety improvement course. Georgia drivers can sign up for a driver improvement program or clinic approved by the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS).[3]

How to get cheap car insurance for Georgia seniors

Seniors already pay some of the cheapest car insurance rates in Georgia. If you want to reduce your premiums even more, consider the following tips:

  • Compare quotes. Comparing car insurance quotes from multiple companies in Georgia is one of the easiest and most effective ways to find cheaper rates.

  • Take a defensive driving course. Georgia insurers often provide discounts to senior drivers who complete a Driver Improvement Program or a clinic that’s approved by the DDS.

  • Look into low-mileage discounts. If you’re retired and you no longer commute to work, you might qualify for a low-mileage discount. Most crashes in Georgia occur during commuting hours. If you no longer drive during those hours, less time in congested traffic can help lower your crash risk and, potentially, your premiums.

  • Maintain a clean driving record. A clean driving history free of accidents, tickets, and driving under the influence (DUI) charges can help you secure lower rates.

Car insurance rates for senior drivers in Georgia by city

Where you live is one of the factors insurers use to determine your car insurance premiums.

Senior drivers in Lithonia pay some of the highest premiums, with average monthly rates of $285. High rates can be attributed to a high population density and a long average commute time of 42 minutes, which is one and a half times longer than the average commute in Georgia.

La Fayette has some of the lowest average monthly rates, at $112. This is likely due to its low population, rural location, and low crash rate.

The following table shows the average monthly rates for seniors in Georgia cities.
