Hidden Costs of Owning a Car

The Hidden Costs of Owning a Car

There’s so much more to owning a car than monthly payments on a loan or lease! Also, consider these costs when it comes to owning a car.

The Hidden Costs of Owning a Car

Gas

The amount you spend on fuel will fluctuate along with gas prices and varies by vehicle, location, and how much you drive. Expect to spend $150-300 a month on fuel.

Insurance

This also varies according to a number of factors. The average cost of auto insurance in the U.S. is $140/month. It’s a good idea to review your insurance policy every year. Let AGCU Insurance help you find an affordable insurance plan for auto, home, motorcycle, life, pet, and more! Plus, AGCU Insurance is for everyone, not just AGCU members!

Maintenance

New cars cost an average of $1 in maintenance for every 10 miles. Older cars can cost an average of $1,000 a year in maintenance costs. This, of course, varies by vehicle and its condition when purchased. Maintenance includes oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacements, and more.
