Cleveland’s rates are slightly lower than those in Columbus, while Canton drivers pay lower monthly rates.

In Cleveland, nearly 6% of drivers have a speeding ticket, 5% have an at-fault accident, and 1% have an operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI) conviction, according to Insurify data. Ohio uses modified comparative negligence rules. This means you can recover damages after a crash only if you’re 50% or less at fault, and your payout drops by your share of the blame.
Here you can see how average monthly rates differ for drivers in Cleveland based on their driving record.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Clean driving record | $104 |
| Speeding ticket | $137 |
| At-fault accident | $146 |

Cleveland sits between two snowbelts off Lake Erie. The primary one runs east of the city to Buffalo, and the secondary one stretches toward Akron. Downtown gets less lake-effect snow than its neighbors, but winter can still slow commutes and push up claims for slide-offs and fender-benders.
Tourism brings a steady stream of out-of-town drivers to downtown. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame draws around half a million visitors each year.[4] Many of them are from outside Cuyahoga County and use the same routes that Cleveland drivers commute on every day.
Flooding is another factor for some drivers in the city. The Cuyahoga River has been a factor in major flood events, and heavy storms can leave standing water on low-lying roads. Drivers who park or commute near the river or lakefront should keep an eye on storm forecasts.
Cleveland’s average commute for workers is 23 minutes, which is about the same as Ohio’s average of 24 minutes. Nearly half of car accidents in Cuyahoga County happen in the afternoon during the travel home commute.
The trickiest driving in Cleveland happens where I-71, I-77, and I-90 funnel into the Innerbelt and cross the Cuyahoga River on the George V. Voinovich Bridge. I-90 alone logged 1,202 crashes in Cuyahoga County in 2024, the most of any route in the county.[3]
Mile Auto offers the most affordable auto insurance in Cleveland for teen drivers.
Teens have a higher accident rate than other age groups because of their relative lack of driving experience. Cuyahoga County reported 2,448 crashes involving teens ages 15–19 in 2024.[3]
The table below shows the cheapest liability rates for teen drivers in Cleveland.
