The COVID-19 pandemic has also affected driver attitudes. The study found that 61 million Americans have reduced their car insurance coverage due to the pandemic, and 55 million have had second thoughts about owning a car due to COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has had a significant impact on people’s car insurance choices, considering that 61 million Americans have already reduced their car insurance coverage because of the pandemic, according to WalletHub’s new car insurance survey,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst. “This trend of reducing car insurance coverage seems likely to continue to 2021, given current sentiment. Roughly 105 million people say they’re not getting their money’s worth from their car insurance right now.”
