False advertising: Nothing can beat my current rate from State Farm
I wasted a lot of time trying to get insurance as low as $38 a month, but I only got quotes for $100+ per month. My current insurer, State Farm, beat all of them by $20 a month or more. Right now I’m paying $85 per month with State Farm—unbeatable so far!

Looking for Better Rates
I’m wondering if I’m getting the best rates. I pay $1,850 annually for a 2,700-square-foot house valued at $850,000. A secondary dwelling with a 912-square-foot apartment upstairs and a 600-square-foot apartment downstairs is about $1,100. Car insurance is about $1,100 for a 2014 Honda CR-V. Can you beat any of these rates, or the combo?

A summary of my experience: I feel like I’m being taken advantage of
Initially, Geico offered the lowest premium for my car insurance. Recently, the premium keeps going up and up. Given the age of my cars (a 2010 Toyota Corolla and a 2003 Saturn Ion) and the fact that I requested the lowest available coverage, I feel like I’m paying much more than I should be. This leaves me very disappointed in an insurance company I initially admired. Right now, I’m looking for a better deal.

How we chose the best companiesexpand/collapse

To identify the best car insurance companies for Connecticut drivers, we evaluated 200-plus regional and national companies. We analyzed thousands of user reviews from verified Insurify customers to identify which companies provided the best overall experience, claims and customer satisfaction, and overall value. Whenever available, we considered scores and rankings from third-party organizations, such as AM Best and J.D. Power. We assessed multiple data points to rate affordability, coverage options, available discounts, customer satisfaction, and financial strength.

How much is car insurance in Connecticut?

The average cost of car insurance in Connecticut is $161 per month for liability coverage and $225 for full coverage. That’s much higher than the national monthly averages of $99 for liability coverage and $187 for full coverage.

Connecticut has nearly 100 miles of coastline spanning along Long Island Sound, which makes its flood risk relatively high compared to landlocked states.[1] The Constitution State is also close to both New York City and Boston, which can increase traffic congestion and accident risk throughout the state.

Why you should compare car insurance quotes in Connecticut

Comparing auto insurance quotes in Connecticut can help you find the lowest premiums for your coverage needs. Premiums can vary depending on your age, gender, and ZIP code.

Here are some tips to help you get the most accurate quotes:

  • Compare like with like. Make sure you request your quotes for the same type and amount of coverage with each insurer. This lets you compare apples to apples for a full picture of your coverage and premiums.

  • Provide your vehicle details. Include the vehicle make, model, and VIN when you request a quote.

  • Include all household drivers. List the names of all licensed drivers in your household so you don’t have to add them later.[2]

  • Disclose your driving history. Include any speeding tickets, accidents, or operating under the influence (OUI) convictions to get the most accurate quote.

Connecticut car insurance requirements

Like many states, Connecticut requires all drivers to carry 25/50/25 in liability insurance, a fairly common liability requirement across the country. Connecticut also requires uninsured motorist coverage, which is less commonly required elsewhere in the country.

Connecticut is an at-fault state, which means the driver who causes an accident is liable for resulting damages and injuries.

Connecticut doesn’t require drivers to have collision coverage or comprehensive coverage, but your lender may require it if you have a car loan or lease.

Below, you can see the minimum liability insurance requirements in Connecticut.

Coverage Type
Minimum Requirements
Bodily injury liability$25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident
Property damage liability$25,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage$25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident

Agent Tip: Is liability-only insurance enough in Connecticut?

“A liability-only policy can lower your premium, but it offers limited protection. In Connecticut, accidents and claims can become costly. Even a minor accident could leave you paying out of pocket. It’s important to balance affordability with adequate coverage.”

How to find the cheapest Connecticut car insurance

Shopping around is the best way to find cheap car insurance coverage in Connecticut. Drivers aged 60 and older can lower their premiums by at least 5% by completing a safe driving course, per Connecticut law.[3] Some insurers may offer bigger discounts, so comparing quotes is a good idea.

The average credit score in Connecticut is 724, according to Experian, which lenders consider good. Connecticut lets insurance companies use a credit-based insurance score to help determine risk. Even if you have good credit, paying bills on time and keeping credit usage low can help improve your credit and earn cheaper premiums.

You can take the following actions to try to decrease your car insurance costs:

  • Maintain a good driving record.

  • Park in a garage or locked parking lot.

  • Increase your deductible.

  • Bundle your auto insurance with other policy types.

  • Ask about car insurance discounts.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 250 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
