Methodology

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2021 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

Full car insurance coverage usually costs more than minimum liability coverage, but it’s a wise investment for any driver. Full auto insurance coverage covers liability damage and pays for the repairs to your vehicle and any medical expenses you may incur.

Use our car insurance calculator to get an idea of how much car insurance you will need each month for a full car insurance coverage policy with 100/300/100 liability limits and comprehensive and collision coverage, where $100,000 is for bodily injury per person, $300,000 is for bodily injury per accident and $100,000 for property damage. This coverage level provides the highest level of protection for you and your vehicle if you get into an accident.
