Are you curious about the average car insurance rates in your area? Check out the average car insurance rates by ZIP code using our car insurance ZIP code calculator below, which shows the highest and lowest rates from up to six major insurers for the same policy.

Average car insurance rates can vary significantly among carriers because insurance companies use different data to decide how much you pay.

In addition to your age, driving history and other information, location is an essential factor in how insurers calculate rates. And there can be a huge difference between the highest and lowest prices for car insurance, which is why you should shop around.

Michigan residents, for instance, pay the highest average insurance rates in the nation with an annual premium of $3,141, followed by residents of Nevada, Kentucky, Washington, D.C., and Florida.

  • Drivers can save an average of $910 annually by comparing car insurance rates – 178%.

Compare auto insurance rates by ZIP code

Comparing car insurance rates is smoother if you first get some information together to get an accurate price estimate, such as:

  • ZIP code
  • Credit score
  • Education
  • Occupation
  • Marital status
  • Homeowner status

While basing insurance rates on some of these non-driving-related factors may be controversial, it is common practice. Still, even if some or all of these factors count against you, there are things you can do to lower your auto insurance rates.

Michael DeLong, research and advocacy associate for the Consumer Federation of America, or CFA, stresses the importance of comparing quotes from several auto insurers.

“Taking an hour or two and looking at policies from insurers is well worth your time,” he says. “In some cases, it could save you hundreds of dollars per year, or even more. Consumers can also look for discounts or take defensive driving courses.”

Additionally, increasing your deductible on physical damage can reduce insurance costs.

In the table below, the average savings is the dollar difference on average between the highest and lowest rates received from insurers surveyed for each state’s ZIP codes.

Cheapest and most expensive car insurance rates by ZIP code

Car insurance companies assess many factors when setting rates and location is chief among them. Based on the number, severity or cost of car insurance claims within the area, insurers assign ZIP codes to corresponding risk levels.

For instance, insurers consider the frequency of thefts, collisions and vandalism to gauge the likelihood of such incidents happening to drivers within the ZIP code. This is how insurers calculate the premium base rate in most states – California is the exception.

Other pricing factors, such as your driving record, car type, and age, are added to the calculation.

“The geographical location itself is an important factor in your risk profile. Living in big cities will likely cost you more in car insurance for two main reasons: The chance of an accident is higher due to traffic and the cost of repairs is more expensive,” says Siwei Gao, Thomas and Rebecca Coffey Professor of Insurance Studies at Eastern Kentucky University.

Below, see the auto insurance rates by ZIP codes in each state, showing the most and least expensive neighborhoods for car insurance.

Average car insurance cost by coverage level

Experts suggest getting as much coverage as possible when purchasing car insurance. State minimum car insurance is required to drive legally but rarely provides adequate financial protection. Also, buying state minimum levels provides only liability insurance and any damage to your car would not be covered.

Here is the average cost of car insurance for three coverage levels:


The average cost of car insurance for three coverage levels
RateState minimum50/100/50100/300/100
Average Rate$574$644$1,758
Monthly Average Rate$48$54$147

Based on CarInsurance.com’s rate analysis, you pay:

  • $70 (about $6 monthly) more a year to bump coverage to 50/100/50 from the state minimum
  • $1,184 ($99 monthly) more a year to bump coverage to 100/300/100 from the state minimum

Comparing car insurance rates regularly makes you more likely to save money on coverage over the long run.

When should I compare car insurance rates to get the best price?

Many factors affect car insurance rates. If those factors change, a different insurer could provide the cheapest policy.

CarInsurance.com advises comparing rates at times when your rates are likely to change significantly:

  • You buy a car
  • You add a teen driver to your policy
  • You marry or divorce
  • Your credit score changes
  • You buy a house or move
  • You are cited for a DUI, major violation or cause an accident

Methodology

CarInsurance.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to report average auto insurance rates for a 2019 Honda Accord for nearly every ZIP code in the United States. We calculated rates using data for up to six large carriers (Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm).

Averages are based on insurance for a married 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/100 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $100,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage. The rate includes uninsured motorist coverage. Your rate depends on personal factors and your vehicle.
