  • 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 55,000 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.

My Experience with State Farm

Beware, some companies are more interested in making money than meeting the customers' needs. My wife had a medical issue while driving, and they covered it. A year later, there was a fender bender involving two moving vehicles. To me, it was no fault, but they considered it a second incident. We also had hail damage to our roof. They said there wasn't enough damage, yet my next-door neighbors received a new one. Now, they're canceling me for too much.

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.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Connecticut: State Farm

The main difference between liability-only and full-coverage car insurance is how much protection you have.

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 $380 per month, on average.

    Collision coverage

    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 $296 per month for liability insurance.

Connecticut car insurance quotes by credit tier

Like most states, Connecticut allows insurers to consider credit history when determining car insurance rates. Excellent or good credit can result in lower premiums since it reflects a lower financial risk for the insurer. On the other hand, drivers with poor credit may face higher rates. Maintaining excellent or good credit is crucial for securing favorable car insurance rates.

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.
