The Jerry Auto Insurance Premium Index (JAPI) \u2014 a monthly benchmark built on verified quotes from 50+ auto insurers \u2014 shows that <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/\">car insurance<\/a> prices fell 6.2% between January and June 2025, reaching an early-year low of $2,880 in May for full coverage policies. While June saw a modest 1.2% rebound, premiums remained well below where they started this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shift is driven by two key dynamics: New insurers are entering the market and existing insurers are lowering their pricing, either because they\u2019re seeing fewer losses than in prior years or because they are trying to stay competitive. Together, these forces are restoring a healthier, more competitive marketplace \u2014 one where prices stabilize, consumer choice expands and affordability improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting the broader national trend, many key states also recorded drops in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Notably:<\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>California saw a 1.3% month-over-month drop in June and is down 7.8% compared to its January average.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quoted premiums in Florida held steady in June, following a 14.6% drop in May \u2014 reinforcing the broader correction that began earlier this year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other large declines from May to June include Maryland (6.8%), Tennessee (5.4%), New Jersey (2.6%), and Missouri (2.3%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter two years of rate uncertainty, we\u2019re seeing insurers recalibrate,\u201d said Josh Damico, VP of Insurance Operations at Jerry. \u201cMany are making product adjustments to improve their competitive position.

It reflects premiums offered to drivers with comparable risk characteristics \u2014 specifically, clean driving records and credit scores above 550 \u2014 providing directional insight into pricing dynamics and regional variation over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JAPI is particularly useful for observing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monthly shifts in insurance affordability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pricing variation across states for similar user profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in market competitiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most insurance data out there is based on what companies plan to charge \u2014 not what drivers are actually quoted. JAPI is built from real quotes that real people receive every month, so it shows what\u2019s really happening in the market right now. JAPI provides a real-time, granular view of price dynamics that complements the consumer price index\u2019s broader inflation trends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jerry Auto Insurance Premium Index (JAPI) is built on verified quotes sourced directly from insurers responding to real users in the last six months. The index reflects pricing across 50+ carrier partners, including many of the largest national and regional insurers, offering a high-resolution view into real-time market dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure accurate and comparable insights across time and geography, we filter for a consistent underwriting profile: Drivers with clean records, credit scores above 550, with full coverage corresponding to bodily injury limits of bodily injury liability limits of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident and comprehensive and collision deductibles of $1,000. Quotes are grouped by state and month, and we report the median premium \u2014 providing a clear, comparable view of pricing trends over time and across geographies. To ensure data quality, we remove quotes that fall more than two standard deviations above or below the mean in each state-month pair, eliminating outliers that could distort trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This release includes data from 16 states, which includes those with a large enough sample size to ensure that meaningful insights are reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to embed JAPI insights in your reporting?
