Insurance companies use a driver's age to indicate risk, assigning rates on a sliding scale. An insurance policy is often most expensive for drivers younger than 25 — because of their inexperience — and relatively affordable for middle-aged drivers. Because every car insurance company evaluates age tiers in a different way, it's a smart move to shop around.
