Disclaimer: Table data sourced from real-time quotes from Insurify's 50-plus partner insurance providers and quote estimates from Quadrant Information Services. Actual quotes may vary based on the policy buyer's unique driver profile.
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.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Atlanta
Many factors affect how much you pay for car insurance, but the insurer you choose is the most important. Many have unadvertised discounts that can help you save money. Others may price their rates low to combat the highly saturated market.
Consider these tips when shopping for the cheapest car insurance in Atlanta:
Raise your deductible. Low deductibles have higher premiums because your insurer is paying more money during a claim. Increasing your deductible can lower your rate by assuming more out-of-pocket expenses for a claim.
Bundle car insurance with another policy. Many insurers offer discounts when you have multiple policies with them. This could be with policies that include two vehicles or a bundle of auto and homeowners insurance.
Comparison shop. Getting new quotes each year can help you find the insurer offering the best rates for the auto coverage you need.

Uninsured motorist
This covers expenses related to damages that an uninsured driver causes your car, you, or your passengers.
Medical payments
This coverage helps pay for medical expenses not covered by your health insurance for you and your passengers, even if you’re at fault.
Roadside assistance
This coverage can help if you get stuck due to problems like a flat tire or a dead car battery.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Getting cited for a driving infraction or incident can increase your auto premiums even if you’re normally a safe and responsible driver.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: Auto-Owners
Speed is a significant contributing factor in traffic fatalities, which is one reason why insurers may consider it a costly mistake even if you weren’t involved in a collision.[2] Insurers view speeding as very risky behavior, as it increases the likelihood of an accident, so they’ll likely increase your rates to compensate for this added risk.
Drivers in Atlanta with a speeding ticket pay $314 per month, on average, for liability coverage. The insurers in the table below offer the cheapest quotes to drivers with speeding tickets.

Auto-Owners offers the cheapest insurance in Atlanta for drivers with an accident on their record. Its monthly liability-only rates start at $105.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: COUNTRY Financial
Teenagers are at a greater risk of accidents and fatal crashes than older drivers. Their inexperience, overconfidence, and distractions can increase their risk, which is why car insurance rates are often highest for this age group.[6]
Atlanta teens pay average monthly rates of $587 for full coverage and $450 for liability-only coverage.
Even with high rates, some teens can get lower premiums by staying on their parents’ plans, driving cars with high safety ratings, getting pay-per-mile insurance, or applying for good student discounts.

Is car insurance more expensive in Atlanta?

More cities in Georgia
Looking at other cities in Georgia, you’ll find lower auto rates in many popular cities. Savannah’s rates may be lower due to its compact and pedestrian-friendly city center.

Which company has the cheapest car insurance in Atlanta?
Auto-Owners, State Farm, and COUNTRY Financial have the cheapest insurance in Atlanta. Their liability-only rates start at $76, $81, and $83 per month, respectively.

What are the best car insurance companies in Atlanta?

Why is car insurance expensive in Atlanta?
Car insurance is so expensive in Atlanta because it’s prone to severe weather risks like tornadoes, flooding, and strong windstorms.

Georgia is actually one of the most expensive states in the country for car insurance, with average rates of $198 per month.
Is Georgia a no-fault state?
No. Like most states, Georgia is an at-fault state, meaning that the driver responsible for an accident will be responsible for paying for the other driver’s injuries and damages.
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.
