Kentucky’s car insurance rates are pretty much on par with the national average. Of course, the figures listed above are to be used only to get a ballpark idea of how much you might expect to pay for your policy. Your actual Frankfort auto insurance cost will be calculated based on several different factors including but not limited to the following:

• The make, model, year and safety record of your car
• The number of insurance claims you have made; your driving record; and your credit score
• The age, sex, marital status and driving records of all licensed drivers in your household
• The amount of coverage you wish to buy
• The size of your deductible

Every insurance company you contact for quotes is likely to calculate a different cost for your premiums, so comparison shopping is a great way to save money on your Frankfort auto insurance.

Kentucky Car Insurance Requirements

• Bodily injury liability: required
• Property damage liability: required
• Personal injury protection (PIP): required
• Uninsured motorist coverage: not required
• Minimum liability limits: 25/50/10 - Coverage up to $25,000 for bodily injury per person in an accident, subject to a limit of $50,000 for all injuries per accident, and $10,000 coverage for property damage

Failure to carry car insurance that meets or exceeds Kentucky’s minimum coverage requirements can result in fines of up to $1,000, incarceration for up to 90 days, suspension of your license for up to one year, and placement in the “high risk” category of drivers, all of which can significantly increase your car insurance coverage rates. Simply put, it’s just not worth it. Also, it is important to keep in mind that while the minimum coverage might be sufficient to protect your finances in a typical motor vehicle collision, an accident that results in serious injuries or significant property damage can easily exceed these limits and put you in financial trouble. You may want to discuss purchasing higher liability limits with your policy.

Number of Uninsured Motorists in Kentucky

• Number of uninsured U.S. drivers: 12.6%
• Number of uninsured Kentucky drivers: 15.80%

Although driving without insurance in Kentucky is a Class B felony with tough penalties, nearly one in six drivers are without coverage. This can put you at risk because if you are in a collision that is the fault of an uninsured driver, that person is responsible for covering your damage, and it can be hard to collect this money. In many cases, if the person simply does not have the funds to make payments, you may never see any compensation. 

That is why it is a good idea to include uninsured motorist coverage with your Frankfort car insurance. That way, if you are in this situation, your insurance company will cover your losses and then try to collect payment from the responsible driver itself. This insurance also covers damage and injuries that are caused by hit-and-run drivers.

• National number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.94

Recently, there was a total of 59 auto thefts reported in this city. That equates to 2.13 thefts per 1,000 cars, which is still well below the national average. This is something that insurance companies consider when calculating your car insurance rates. If your car is stolen, you can only receive compensation for your loss if your Frankfort auto insurance policy includes comprehensive, or “other than collision,” insurance. This insurance covers all noncollision-related damage, such as that caused by falling objects, floods and property crimes.
