Between insurance and repairs, the cost of maintaining a car can put a huge burden on the average household. In fact, transportation is the second-highest cost many households face. Car costs, however, varies greatly from state to state.

According to Bankrate, Iowa is the best state for drivers. The site came to its conclusion after analyzing factors like commute time, annual insurance premiums, gas, cost of repairs, car thefts and the number of fatal crashes.

Ohio, Maine, Wisconsin, Vermont and Minnesota round out the top five best states for drivers.

Iowa took the top spot, scoring a perfect 10 in the category of insurance affordability, with the average Iowan spending about $647 a year for coverage. In comparison, the most expensive state for insurance is New Jersey, where drivers can expect to pay around $1,300 a year.

If your car is on the fritz, it’s also cheaper to fix it in Iowa. Bankrate reports that the average cost of a repair is just $358. This figure is about $77 cheaper than a repair in California, which is the most expensive state to get your car fixed at $435 per repair.

Speaking of California, the Golden State was identified as the worst state for drivers. In addition to the high cost of repairs, the average cost of insurance is about $895 a year, and filling up the gas tank costs the average Californian $1,260 annually.

While the cost of driving a car in California is more expensive, another reason it landed at the bottom of the list is crime. There are 437 car thefts every year in California for every 100,000 people. Iowa has about 139 thefts.

So not only is it cheaper to maintain your car in the Midwest – it won’t get stolen!
