CarInsurance.com editors suggest getting quotes from at least three different insurers when shopping for a policy, either at renewal time – every six months – or annually.
Why? Because insurance companies have proprietary rating systems, each insurer rates factors like age or driving record differently. So, if you get a ticket, one company might penalize you 5%, while another company could penalize you 20%.

What factors affect car insurance estimates in Utah?
Insurance costs vary a lot from state to state, mainly due to different laws. Some states follow tort insurance law, while others use “no-fault” insurance law. In states with tort law, the driver who caused the accident is responsible for paying for the damages. This often leads to legal disputes to figure out who is at fault and how much they should pay.
On the other hand, no-fault insurance laws in some U.S. states simplify the process by requiring each driver’s insurance to pay for their own injuries, no matter who is at fault for the accident.

“The best way to get car insurance quotes is to comparison shop – making sure you are comparing apples to apples. The internet is a great resource to compare insurance products – be sure to line up the exact dollar coverage and any riders included as well,” says James Brau, Joel C. Peterson professor of finance at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Business. “If you’re calling specific insurance companies, have them email written quotes to make sure there is no misunderstanding. Oftentimes, lower-cost insurance quotes don’t offer as much protection as higher-priced premiums, so it is an exercise in comparing apples to oranges.”

FAQ: How to estimate car insurance rates before buying a car in Utah
How much auto insurance do I need in Utah?
The amount of car insurance you require is based on your financial situation, the value of your car and your risk tolerance. For financed or leased vehicles, your lender may ask you to purchase comprehensive and collision coverage, which, when combined with liability, is known as full coverage.
Each state, including Utah, has different minimum insurance requirements. However, these minimums provide only basic coverage and often fail to offer sufficient financial protection in the event of a severe car accident.
| Requirements | Coverage limits |
|---|---|
| Minimum bodily injury liability | $25,000 per person, $65,000 per accident |
| Minimum property damage liability | $15,000 per accident |
