RC Auto is essential for every driver, as well as mandatory. In this sense, very important news arrives on the subject. Let’s find out what it is.
The cost of fuel increases and the cost of RC Auto decreases by 5% on an annual basis. Practically two opposite poles of the motoring economy. Only on paper, however, considering the enormous difference that is recorded from city to city.
According to the latest Ivass survey, which updated the prices for the last quarter of 2021, on average the costs amounted to 360 euros, with a decrease as we have told you.
At the moment, 50% of Italian motorists would pay less than 323 euros for their insurance. But the differences from city to city, unfortunately, are by no means few. So let’s try to understand what is actually happening.
RC Auto, what is happening in Italy: everything changes (approximately) from city to city
In Naples you get to pay an average of 544 euros, while in Aosta 285. A difference between two cities of 259 euros. No increases have been recorded in any province, however. In Vibo Valentia (-8.9%), Reggio Calabria and Rome (-8.2%), the largest drops in TPL Auto were recorded. These prices do not make motorists happy at all.
Massimo Dona, President of the Consumers’ Union, spoke of an insufficient reduction, going so far as to explain that what we have before us is only and exclusively a “facade reduction”.
Of course, it is undeniable that the price on an annual basis has improved, but according to Dona it has only returned to the levels of the second quarter of 2021 (when it stood at around 360 euros). A return to the past that many motorists do not like and do not satisfy.
Of the same opinion are Assoutenti, who spoke of a reduction of the RC Auto “substantially ridiculous” and represents “a real joke” for many policyholders. The President Furio Truzzi explains that prices are subject to minimal reductions causing damage to consumers. Costs have dropped by 5%, sure, but the situation has far from improved.
The Facile.it site, for example, at the beginning of 2022 talked about the costs of insurance for Italians. For at least 800,000 of these, RC Auto will be increased due to an accident they reported. Moreover, 12% of motorists will be affected by the price increases.
A direct consequence of the increase in vehicles on the road. The rates for virtuous motorists remain at minimum levels. Even if, again according to Facile.it, this could soon change.

As accidents have started to rise again, insurance premiums are likely to rise again with increases that could even exceed thirty euros per driver.
