The national annual average for car insurance is $2,545 per year for full coverage and $741 per year for minimum coverage.

Massachusetts is a severe outlier in terms of car insurance and your well below the norm. MA averages 1646/person/year vs 3950/person/year in Florida. https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/states/#average-car-i...

How come car insurance is so expensive in the US? In Europe it's vastly cheaper and the policies themselves are much better.
I don't know the exact calculations but people in Europe have nationalized healthcare, more easily lose their license, drive less, and generally have smaller and cheaper vehicles.
Well traffic deaths per capita are about double in the US so that probably carries over to other insurance-triggering incidents.
Yikes! That is quite expensive compared to what I pay.
