Why we picked this company

Travelers provides a variety of coverage types in addition to liability, comprehensive, and collision coverages, including new car replacement coverage and rideshare coverage. The company also offers a long list of discounts, including for having multiple Travelers policies, continuous insurance, and getting an early quote ahead of your current policy’s expiration. Travelers is one of the top-rated insurers by Insurify.

Travelers has a financial strength rating of A++ (Superior) from AM Best, but the company received a below-average claims satisfaction rating from J.D. Power. It also has more than the average number of complaints with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) for a company of its size.

Pros
  • A++ financial strength rating from AM Best

  • Offers rideshare coverage and other add-ons

  • Offers a telematics savings program

Cons
  • Poor J.D. Power ranking

  • High number of NAIC complaints

  • Mixed customer service reviews

Why we picked this company

USAA has affordable prices and is a full-service banking institution in addition to offering multiple insurance products. The downside is that coverage is only available to active-duty military members, veterans, and their immediate family members. It’s one of the best car insurance companies in the country, though, so if you’re an active military member, veteran, or the family member of one, you should consider USAA.

Pros
  • Wide range of policy options and discounts to customize coverage

  • Ranked above average in J.D. Power’s 2023 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study

  • Few complaints, according to the NAIC

Cons
  • Coverage isn’t available to everyone

  • Cheaper insurers in California

  • Limited customer service hours

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Los Angeles

While the cost of auto insurance varies by some factors outside of your control, your choices can also affect how much you pay. Here are some things you can do to get cheap car insurance in Los Angeles:[1]

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/fa11c1fe75/comparison-website.svg

    Compare quotes

    Since each company offers different premiums for the same coverage, comparing quotes can help you save money on your auto policy. You can compare quotes online, on insurance company websites, or through an insurance broker.

    Raise your deductible

    A higher deductible means lower premiums for full-coverage insurance. Just be aware that you’ll be responsible for the deductible amount in the event of a claim.

Car insurance requirements in California

Like most states, California is an at-fault state, which means drivers are liable for the other party’s losses if at fault in a car accident. That also means that if you don’t have enough liability coverage, the other party can sue you for damages above and beyond your coverage limits. You may want to choose higher limits than California law requires to offset this risk.

State lawmakers approved an increase in coverage limits, which took effect Jan. 1, 2025. The table below reflects this change and the types and amount of coverage all Los Angeles drivers need to carry:[2]

Coverage

2024 Coverage Limits

You should also consider adding the following optional coverages:

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

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive insurance covers damages to your vehicle from non-collision events, like fire, flood, vehicle theft, or vandalism.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/7b43b14514/damage-from-aircraft.svg

    Collision coverage

    Collision insurance helps repair your vehicle after you cause an accident with another vehicle or collide with an object like a tree or fence. Collision insurance also covers rollover accidents.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage pays for damages and injuries resulting from an accident with a driver who doesn’t have insurance or whose insurance isn’t sufficient. It can also cover you if you’re the victim of a hit-and-run.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI: USAA

Driving under the influence is a particularly serious offense that can stay on your record for up to 10 years in California. To reinstate your license after a DUI, you need to provide an SR-22 certificate from your insurer that proves you have the state minimum insurance coverage.[3] And since insurers will view you as a high-risk driver, you’ll pay significantly more for auto insurance.

Drivers in Los Angeles with a DUI pay almost twice as much for car insurance than drivers with a clean record. The average cost of full coverage with a DUI is $387 per month in L.A. Some insurers may choose not to renew your coverage, so quote comparison is crucial. Below are average monthly quotes from the cheapest insurers for Los Angeles drivers with a DUI.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: USAA

Teen drivers have the least experience and are also more likely to be in an accident than any other age group, so insurers typically charge them significantly higher premiums.[4]

One way that teens can save money on car insurance is by staying on their parents’ policies. Some insurers also offer good student discounts to teens who get good grades or take an approved driver’s education course, and student away at school discounts for teens who go to school a certain number of miles away from home. Quote comparison is also a great way for teen drivers to save money.

Teen drivers in Los Angeles pay an overall monthly average of $438 for auto insurance. Here’s what teens pay on average for liability and full coverage from the cheapest companies. Keep in mind that minors can’t buy their own car insurance policy without the written consent of a parent or guardian.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 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.
