Italian car insurance premium trends

Overview

Car insurance premiums in Italy have shown fluctuating trends, with national averages previously reaching €502.59 (a 3.5% increase) and later reports indicating a rise to €623.25. Recent data from the second quarter of 2026 provides a more granular view, with Ivass reporting the average price for mandatory third-party motor insurance (RC Auto) at €422. This figure represents a 1.6% annual increase but a 0.4% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2026. When adjusted for inflation, real premiums saw an annual reduction of 1.3%.

Regional disparities remain significant. In Sicily, the average premium for August 2026 was €656.92, a 1.6% annual decrease, making it the fifth most expensive region. Within Sicily, Ragusa (€717.60, up 5.2%) and Catania (€713.27, up 5.9%) saw increases, while Enna remained the most economical at €486.04. Other notable regional shifts include price increases in Basilicata (+8.5%), Pescara (+3.8%), and Rome (+3.5%), contrasted by decreases in Cagliari (-2.0%), Imperia (-1.0%), and Benevento (-0.8%).

Market dynamics show that 91% of contracts included a discount, averaging €212, and the agency channel remains dominant, handling 86.7% of contracts. The use of black box technology saw a slight decline to 16% of vehicles. Demographic data highlights that drivers under 25 face the highest costs, averaging €1,053.64, while those over 60 typically pay the least. While regional gaps persist—such as Naples drivers paying €255 more than those in Aosta—a trend toward convergence is noted.
