States with bigger cities, and heavy traffic? Commonsense would lead most of us to expect to find New York, California, and New Jersey at the top of the list.\u00a0 Using the same logic we can also add Massachusetts, Illinois, Florida, and Connecticut.\u00a0 And while not a state, I would also expect to see Washington D.C. on a list of states with higher auto insurance premiums.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Six states have average auto\ninsurance rates that range from $1,750 to $2,500.&nbsp; Starting with the most expense:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Louisiana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Connecticut and,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. New York&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Kentucky <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most, this likely seems appropriate. But for many it\u00a0 will be eye-opening to find how high car insurance is in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.\u00a0 Surprisingly the residents of Kentucky pay more for auto coverage than California.\u00a0 The same is true for Washington D.C., Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is this person that says you\u2019re\ncar insurance is not expensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kentuckians on average spend $1,752 annually for auto insurance.
