  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 55,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

I had a disappointing experience with State Farm. After my wife had two strokes, I took her off the policy. I was told that my premium would decrease, but instead, it increased by $30.00/month. When I filed a claim for flood damage caused by a water softener unit in my home, they categorized it as sewage backup. They also informed me that mold was not covered by the policy. I am now in the process of switching to a different company. I have been with State Farm for almost 60 years, and I feel dissatisfied with their service.

State Farm also offers a Steer Clear driving program for drivers younger than 25, which can help save as much as 15% upon program completion. Students with good grades may also qualify for a discount.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Phoenix

Finding the cheapest car insurance in Phoenix depends on several factors, including your driving history, age, credit-based insurance score, ZIP code, and coverage needs. While many of these factors are outside of your control, you can do some things to help lower your car insurance costs, including:

  • Maintain a clean driving record. Practice safe driving and try to avoid moving violations and speeding tickets so you can qualify for better car insurance rates.

  • Improve your credit score. Car insurance companies in Arizona may look at your credit history to create a credit-based insurance score that helps them determine the likelihood that you’ll file an insurance claim. Having a higher credit score makes you more appealing to insurers, and you could be rewarded with lower rates. It’s also important to note that insurers in Arizona can’t use medical collections or an outdated bankruptcy or lien (older than seven years) when determining your insurance score.

  • Ask about discounts. Insurers offer various discounts to help you save on premiums. Some of those discounts include bundling car insurance with renters or homeowners insurance, driving a vehicle with certain safety features, remaining accident-free, and completing a driver safety course. Some insurers may not offer certain discounts in every state, so be specific when asking what discounts you may be eligible for.

  • Shop around. Be sure to shop around and gather quotes from at least three different insurers to make sure you’re getting the best rate. Each insurer has its own guidelines for calculating rates, and shopping around allows you to compare all the best options side by side.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Phoenix: Mile Auto

Liability-only car insurance covers damage to the other driver’s vehicle and their medical expenses after an accident. Liability insurance won’t cover any of your damages, so it’s often the cheaper coverage option.

You may consider liability coverage if you’re looking for the most basic coverage or you drive a car that’s already paid off. If you can afford to pay out of pocket for damage sustained by your vehicle, liability insurance may make sense.

The average cost of liability-only policies in Phoenix is $125. Here are some of the cheapest liability-only car insurance rates in Phoenix.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Phoenix: Auto-Owners

Full-coverage insurance includes liability coverage, but it also covers damage to your vehicle and any medical expenses resulting from an accident. Full coverage typically costs more than liability due to this added protection.

If you have a car loan or lease, your lender will require you to carry full coverage until your loan is paid off. Even if you don’t have a car loan, full coverage may be a good idea since repairs can be expensive if your car gets damaged. With adequate insurance coverage, you’ll only need to pay your collision and comprehensive deductible, then insurance will pay (up to your coverage limit) to cover the damages.

On average, Phoenix drivers pay $193 per month for full coverage. Auto-Owners offers the cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Phoenix. Here are some other insurers that offer competitive rates in Phoenix.

Car insurance requirements in Arizona

Most states, including Arizona, require you to have liability or minimum car insurance coverage. Arizona is also an at-fault state, meaning the insurance company of the driver who causes the accident must pay for any associated damages. Finally, you’re also required to carry bodily injury and property damage insurance coverage.

Below are the minimum coverage requirements in Arizona.

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability$15,000 per accident

Depending on your needs and situation, you may want to consider getting optional insurance coverage as well, including:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/5285c4cd74/uninsured-or-underinsured-motorist-coverage.svg

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can pay for damage to your car or injuries to you or your passengers if you get into an accident with someone who drives without car insurance or who has too little car insurance to cover your damages. 

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive coverage can pay for damage to your car from something other than an accident. For example, comprehensive can pay for theft, vandalism, fire, or storm damage to your car.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Collision coverage

    While liability coverage can pay for damage to another vehicle from an accident you cause, collision can cover the cost to repair or replace your vehicle – no matter who’s at fault for the accident. Collision can also cover damages from your vehicle hitting an object such as a tree, fence, or light pole, and from rollover accidents.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/c8ad9d5019/driving-accidents.svg

    Accident forgiveness

    An add-on to your policy, accident forgiveness can help keep your rates down after an at-fault accident. You typically need to have a good driving history and no recent at-fault accidents to be eligible for this coverage.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/100x100/9997698e9e/emergency-roadside-service.svg

    Roadside assistance

    You can typically buy this optional plan through an insurer or other company. Roadside assistance coverage pays to send you professional help for mechanical issues like dead batteries or flat tires.

“The lowest-priced policy may not offer the best coverage,” says Anthony Verreos, strategic insurance advisor at Real Estate Bees. “Uninsured and underinsured motorists liability coverage is sometimes very expensive, but this is what a driver would need in order to collect if they became the victim of someone else who had no coverage or not enough to pay your medical damages for years.”

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Your driving record directly affects your car insurance rates. When infractions like speeding tickets, DUIs, and at-fault accidents are on your record, this can increase your car insurance rates for three to five years because the insurance company now sees you as a high-risk driver.

In Phoenix, rates increase by about 30% for insurance companies like Hugo, State Farm, and Auto-Owners when you have an at-fault accident on your record. The overall average cost of car insurance for drivers with traffic violations is $190 per month in Phoenix.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Mile Auto

While car insurance rates tend to go down once you turn 25, they may rise again as you enter your 70s. Insurance companies see older drivers and teens as riskier to insure since they tend to get in more accidents.[1] But this isn’t always the case for seniors, especially if you keep a clean driving record. Overall, older drivers have the lowest car insurance rates of any age group, even considering the rise in rates after age 70.

Some insurers may also offer discounts to senior drivers as well.[2] They may also offer discounts for driving fewer miles during the year.

On average, senior drivers in Phoenix pay $161 per month for full coverage and $105 for liability only. Here are insurers with the cheapest insurance quotes for Phoenix seniors.

The below rates in Phoenix, AZ, are estimated rates current as of: Tuesday, February 10 at 11:00 AM PST.

Phoenix car insurance quotes by credit tier

Arizona allows insurers to factor in your credit history when calculating insurance rates. Insurers will generate an insurance score that predicts the likelihood that you’ll file an insurance claim in the future.

Typically, the higher your credit score, the lower the rate you could qualify for. An excellent credit score range is anything above 720. But if you have a poor credit score, this doesn’t always mean you’ll receive a higher premium since insurers consider other factors when calculating premiums.

Here are some average monthly quotes for full-coverage car insurance in Phoenix based on your credit score tier.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
