If you live in Connecticut, you can expect to spend an average of $292 per month on car insurance coverage, which is higher than the national average monthly premium of $158. Location-specific factors tied to your ZIP code, such as weather and crime rates, can affect your insurance premiums. For example, Connecticut drivers deal with dangerous driving conditions when it snows heavily in the winter, which could lead to filing more claims and increased rates.[1]

The best way to find cheap car insurance in Connecticut is to compare quotes from multiple insurance companies at once. Here’s what you need to know.

Quick Facts
  • State Farm, GEICO, and USAA offer the cheapest liability car insurance in Connecticut.

  • On average, Connecticut drivers pay $215 per month for liability insurance and $368 for full-coverage insurance.

  • Auto insurers in Connecticut can consider credit history when determining car insurance premiums.[2]

3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Connecticut

The car insurance company you choose to buy coverage from can play a major role in how much you pay for your policy. While it’s tempting to look for the insurer that offers the cheapest possible policy, it’s a good idea to consider which one has the insurance products and customer experience you’re looking for.

Here are a few of the best car insurance options for Connecticut drivers.

  • 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 28,000 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.

Unfair Treatment by State Farm

I have been with them for over 5 years. In the last few years, they have been overcharging me, claiming that I underpaid. I was dealing with liver cancer during this time, which made the situation even more challenging. My truck broke down, and after paying for a whole month, they only refunded me $20 when I took it off the policy. That was disappointing. I inquired about a discount for being 65 years old, but was told they don't offer that. In fact, they might even charge more. Meanwhile, other companies offer senior discounts. For a long time, I was paying over $600 a month.

A Royal Rip-Off

I had State Farm for over 50 years. I had one back-up accident which caused a dent in my fender. The damage to the parked car didn't seem significant, but I don't know the exact extent as they won't disclose it to me. I now suspect the damage was exaggerated. My insurance went from $79.00 per month to $119.00 per month. This rate includes both house insurance and coverage for my 2009 Scion. This was the only accident in all that time, and I didn't even get my car fixed! Over 30 years ago, my car was broken into at a movie theater and I claimed money for stolen jackets, CDs, and a blanket. If you ever need to use your insurance, they increase your rate unfairly. They collected premiums from me all those years without a claim, and when I finally needed it, they increased my rate. This is why so many people don't file claims when they could and should. It feels like a royal rip-off.

I have been with USA for more than 60 years. I am very happy with them. I had my car and my home insured for all of that time. I drive very little anymore, certainly well under 50 miles a day. I see ads for much lower rates and I was just looking to see if there are lower rates out there and if USA would give me a lower rate. I have no plans to change my insurance.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Connecticut

Insurance companies consider various factors when determining your car insurance premium. Having a clean driving record often leads to lower premiums. The level of coverage you choose and the type of vehicle you own — including its make, model, and year — can also affect insurance costs.

To help you find more affordable car insurance in Connecticut, consider the following tips:

  • Compare quotes. Ask for quotes from multiple insurers to find the best rates. Make sure you request quotes for the same type and amount of coverage to get an accurate idea of which insurance company can offer you the best price.

  • Bundle policies. Combining auto and home insurance with the same insurer often leads to discounts.

  • Drive safely. Good drivers tend to save on car insurance. Avoid accidents and traffic violations to maintain a clean driving record and lower rates.

  • Ask about discounts. Many car insurance companies offer a variety of discounts. Before purchasing a policy, ask insurance agents from each company you’re considering about which discounts you may qualify for.

Full-coverage insurance also includes comprehensive and collision coverage, offering protection for your vehicle as well.

If you have a new or expensive car or lease your vehicle, you may benefit from full-coverage insurance. Full-coverage policies in Connecticut cost $368 per month, on average.

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

    Collision coverage

    When you have collision insurance, it pays for vehicle repair costs when you get in a car accident and damage another car or even a stationary object, no matter who’s at fault.

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

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive insurance helps pay for vehicle damages and loss from non-collision incidents, like fires, vandalism, natural disasters, or theft.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    If you want coverage for damages and injuries caused by a driver who doesn’t have adequate car insurance coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can help.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/abffe6238f/financial-protection.svg

    Gap coverage

    A gap insurance policy will pay the difference between the cost of your insurance settlement and the lease balance of an auto loan after your insurer declares the car as a total loss.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

For drivers with incidents on their records — including speeding tickets, driving under the influence, at-fault accidents, and other moving violations — finding the cheapest rates can be challenging. Insurers consider these incidents as indicators of higher risk, leading to increased premiums.

At-fault accidents and traffic violations suggest a higher likelihood of future claims, prompting insurers to raise rates to offset potential payouts. On average, Connecticut drivers with a past incident on their record pay $284 per month for liability insurance.

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 50+ 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.
