Rising Car Insurance Costs in Hurricane-Prone States: What’s Behind the Surge?

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that car insurance rates are soaring in hurricane-prone states. While the national average is $2,435 per year, South Carolina drivers pay $3,600, and Florida drivers pay $3,800 due to frequent storm damage. This parallels the home insurance crisis, where some residents can no longer get coverage. As costs rise, many may choose to relocate north for financial relief.
