Why is car insurance in Colorado Springs so expensive?
Colorado Springs is among the most expensive cities in Colorado for car insurance. Although Insurify data shows that the city ranks 60th in the country for car thefts, the main reason car insurance in Colorado Springs is so expensive is wildfire-related.
The city’s wildland-urban interface, where human structures meet wildland vegetation, is at an elevated risk for wildfires. You can type your address into the Colorado Springs Wildlife Risk Assessment tool to see your exact risk. The higher your risk, the higher your average car insurance cost will be.

Cheapest car insurance quotes in Colorado Springs by driving record

What to know about driving in Colorado Springs
Several factors can affect driving in Colorado Springs. Parking in the city is relatively easy, with a mix of parking garages, surface lots, and metered street parking. Parking in garages and surface lots is free on Sundays.
During the warmer months, Colorado Springs drivers will notice an increase in traffic as the area is flooded with tourists who want to drive along the 19-mile Pikes Peak Highway. The scenic highway is open year-round (weather permitting), but it gets so busy between May and September that the city requires timed reservations to drive past mile 7.
June can be especially busy as tourists gather for the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, an invitational automobile hill climb to the summit of Pikes Peak.
In winter, drivers need to be cautious of snowy conditions. The City of Colorado Springs will only plow residential streets once snow accumulation reaches 6 inches, but roads can be dangerous to drive on with as little as 1 inch of snow.
How Colorado Springs traffic affects car insurance rates
Colorado Springs’ average congestion level in 2025 was 26.5%, with a 10-kilometer commute taking just under 12 minutes. The four-lane section of I-25 between Monument and Castle Rock, known as the I-25 South Gap, can become especially congested during peak commute hours.
This congestion increases the chances of accidents, which in turn affects insurance costs.
Cheap car insurance for Colorado Springs teen drivers: State Farm
Teen drivers in Colorado Springs pay an average of $186 per month for liability car insurance. Colorado teens can get their learner’s permit once they turn 15 and a half, and they’re eligible for a driver’s license at 16.
