The Californer/10218139

COSTA MESA, Calif. - Californer -- If it seems sexist to you that gender plays a large role in car insurance, several states would agree with you. While it's no longer legal in seven states for insurance companies to rate their customers based on gender, insurers in most of the country are doing just that. Certainly, gender is not the only factor used to derive a car insurance rate, but it is an important one in most states. Overall, women pay less than men when it comes to car insurance, but at certain ages, there's hardly a difference.

According to our internal data, across the board, women, on average, pay $14.49 less a month than their male counterparts: That's $174 more a year.
