Savannah is a beautiful, lively city filled with history and culture. Whether you’re a local or on vacation, there are some things you should know about driving in the area.
In 2024, more than 7,000 car crashes occurred in Savannah, resulting in more than 2,000 injuries and 14 fatalities.[1] In particular, the intersection between Abercorn Street and White Bluff Road outside of the Oglethorpe Mall sees many crashes.
Savannah is in Georgia’s coastal region, making it vulnerable to flooding during heavy rainfall and hurricanes, particularly in low-elevation areas. Downtown and Midtown Savannah tend to see the most flooding, according to city data.[2]
Tourism also contributes to traffic and congestion in Savannah. In 2023, more than 17 million people visited the Savannah and Chatham County areas. Congestion can intensify during Savannah Bananas games at Grayson Stadium, where off-site parking is extremely limited.
In the first half of 2025, Chatham County recorded 294 stolen vehicles, according to Insurify data, representing a 40% decline over the previous year’s numbers.
In the same time period in 2024, the county reported 494 stolen vehicles. Though vehicle thefts in Savannah are dropping, insurers consider local theft rates when setting prices.
Car insurance costs in Savannah fall somewhere in the middle compared to other areas in Georgia. For example, drivers in Atlanta pay more than Savannah drivers, with an average cost of $272 per month.
Interestingly, Augusta, which has a larger population than Savannah, has lower average premiums than Savannah. Augusta drivers pay $186 per month, on average, while Savannah drivers pay $218 per month.
Car insurance in Savannah might be more expensive than in other cities in Georgia due to its flood risk from being on the coast and its high accident rate.
Some of the cheapest auto insurance rates in Georgia can be found in La Fayette, Ellijay, Chatsworth, and Hartwell.
The following table shows average car insurance rates in several Georgia cities.
City | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Albany | $183 |
| Alpharetta | $198 |
| Athens | $169 |
| Atlanta | $272 |
| Augusta | $186 |
| Columbus | $181 |
| Dallas | $226 |
| Dalton | $141 |
| Gainesville | $184 |
| Lawrenceville | $242 |

Traffic and congestion patterns in Savannah affect local insurance costs. Traffic in Savannah tends to be concentrated along a few key corridors, such as Highway 204, Interstate 95, I-16, and Route 80. These roads carry a high volume of daily traffic, and because the city has limited alternate routes, even minor incidents can lead to backups.
Congestion is most noticeable during rush hour and during peak tourism season, as people visit Savannah and its surrounding islands. Savannah ranks No. 67 in the country for congestion.
Freight traffic from the Port of Savannah also contributes to local traffic congestion. As a result, Savannah drivers often experience stop-and-go conditions and occasional bottlenecks, particularly near major interchanges and bridges.
Savannah’s above-average car insurance costs might be driven by a combination of factors, including its coastal location, large number of tourists, and population density.
Heavy rainfall and coastal flooding often cause damage to cars, which full coverage would pay for. Savannah is also a tourist destination that sees millions of new drivers every year, which can increase the level of accidents and overall congestion.
Similarly, its high population density also leads to accidents and congestion, with almost 4.5% of Savannah drivers having an accident on their record, according to Insurify data.
The average liability-only car insurance policy in Savannah is $171 per month, which is higher than the state average of $156 per month. But you may find cheaper coverage with Auto-Owners or State Farm.
Georgia car insurance requirements include bodily injury liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. It also requires $25,000 property damage liability coverage.[3]
