## Resource

Car insurance premiums have skyrocketed over 50% since 2020, now averaging $2,276 annually — fueled by costly repairs, inflation, and supply chain chaos. Experts warn rates won’t drop anytime soon, but Dave Ramsey says you can’t skip coverage — and you don’t have to pay full price. Shop around for quotes, use independent agents, and stack discounts like safe driving, bundling, or low mileage. Even with teen drivers, one listener saved big by comparing rates. Also, consider your car: used models and avoiding pricey add-ons can slash premiums — always check insurance costs before buying.
