On average, car insurance in Citrus Heights costs $187 per month for full coverage and $105 for liability-only coverage. These premiums are in line with the average cost of car insurance in California.
Citrus Heights shares many demographic characteristics with California as a whole, including nearly identical average commute times. This may be why its insurance premiums are similar to the state average.
Nearby Sacramento has a larger population and a higher vehicle theft rate than Citrus Heights, so the city’s average full-coverage car insurance rates are higher.
Folsom, located about 6 miles southeast of Citrus Heights, has lower insurance rates. While Citrus Heights and Folsom have similar-sized populations, Folsom’s population density is much lower.
Liability policies average $105/mo.
Minimum coverage requirements in California include $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury liability, and $15,000 for property damage liability.[1] The area has a history of flooding, particularly where Cripple Creek meets Arcade Creek.[2]
A full-coverage policy, which includes comprehensive coverage, typically covers flood damage.
The table below shows companies with the cheapest quotes for liability-only and full-coverage car insurance in California.

Beverly Hills has the most expensive car insurance rates in the Golden State. This is likely due to the abundance of luxury cars and the city’s high wildfire risk.[3]
Redding and Chico have some of the state’s cheapest liability-only rates.
While premiums in Citrus Heights are somewhere in between, they are close to the statewide average. The city’s vehicle theft rates have declined by 50% since 2023, which may help explain why full-coverage rates are below the state average.[4]
