Increase in Auto Insurance Premiums: Motorists Brace for Higher Rates in 2025 - Increase in Car Insurance Premiums Predicted: Motorists Brace for Higher Rates in 2025
Buckle up and be ready for an unfavorable surprise at your next car insurance renewal in April 2025, because the cost of comprehensive coverage skyrocketed by an average of 17%, according to Verivox. Partial coverage jumped by 14%, and liability insurance saw an increase of 15%.
Aljoscha Ziller from Verivox gave the revealing news to AFP, stating that "the car insurance sector has witnessed an unparalleled price dynamic in recent years." Prices have soared in a way we've never seen before, he added. Despite the downturn in the car insurance market in 2023 due to skyrocketing costs for parts and repairs, insurers had to make significant adjustments.
With profits still elusive for many insurers, Ziller predicts more price hikes are on the horizon. However, "the phase with the sharpest contribution increases" has drawn to a close.
Good news for budget-conscious drivers: insurance providers are already turning a profit, and according to Verivox, "there's never been a better time to save on car insurance." Cheap policies can be found across all segments, even up to 30% below the middle-priced offers.
To create their car insurance index, Verivox collaborates with statistician Professor Wolfgang Bischof from the Technical University of Augsburg. Their price development analysis takes into account adjustments in customer groups, using anonymized user calculations from April 1 to 30, 2025, as well as data from the same periods in 2024 and 2022.
As to why 2025 saw an unprecedented increase in car insurance prices, factors such as driving experience, location, vehicle type, driving distance, parking, and previous insurance record typically play a role in how much you pay for car insurance in Germany[3][4].
