Quick Facts

6 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Louisville

Auto-Owners, National General, and State Farm are a few of the best car insurance companies with cheap average rates in Louisville.

When it comes to car insurance, each person has their own needs based on various factors. These factors include age, vehicle type, driving record, coverage limits, chosen deductibles, credit history, marital status, and more.

Punishment for 65+ years of no problems.
Reviewed in South Carolina on February 1, 2026
I have been licensed since two weeks before my 14th birthday, in other words, 65+ years. I had 2 tickets and 1 accident (that was in July 2024). It cost me a $25 fine and no points, yet my rate increased by 60%. This was the only claim against me over the years. I don't drive much, about 10,000 miles a year if that much, and yet I'm being punished for years of no problems. BTW, the patrolman questioned the ability of the on-lookers of the accident.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Louisville

Comparing rates from multiple car insurance companies can help you find the cheapest and best policy available to you. You can also take additional steps to hold rates down, including:

  • Shop for car insurance before your renewal date. This gives you more time to research your options and find good rates. Plus, many insurers offer discounts for “early bird” shoppers.

  • Look for discounts for having multiple cars and multiple family members on your policy.

  • Bundle your auto insurance with renters insurance, life insurance, and a homeowners policy for a bundling discount.

  • Choose a vehicle with a good safety rating. Insurers often offer discounts for safety equipment and technology.

  • Maintain a clean driving record.

  • Review your deductibles and coverage limits. Higher collision and comprehensive deductibles and lower limits will reduce your premium. Just be sure you’re financially able to pay more out of pocket in case of an accident.

  • Choose a vehicle with safety features and anti-theft devices.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Louisville: Progressive

Kentucky requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability car insurance.

Liability coverage provides two types of protection: property damage and bodily injury. Property damage liability covers the cost of damage you cause to someone else’s property with your car, such as their car, house, or tree. Bodily injury liability coverage pays for expenses associated with injuries to another driver and their passengers in a crash for which you’re at fault.

It’s important to remember that a liability-only policy won’t cover any expenses for repairing your car or any medical bills you may have incurred from the accident. It only protects the other parties in an accident you caused. Liability-only policies typically work best for drivers with older, inexpensive, and paid-off vehicles.

On average, Louisville drivers pay $184 per month for liability-only coverage. The following table provides examples of liability insurance costs for Louisville drivers.

The below rates in Louisville, KY, are estimated rates current as of: Sunday, February 1 at 11:00 AM PST.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Louisville: Progressive

Although liability-only car insurance is available in Kentucky, your insurance agency or agent may recommend you opt for full coverage instead. If you’re financing or leasing your vehicle, your lender may mandate full coverage.

While liability-only insurance covers the other driver, their passengers, and their car, full coverage provides protection for you, your passengers, and your vehicle.

Full-coverage car insurance typically includes liability, collision, and comprehensive. Collision coverage pays for damage to your vehicle, no matter who causes the accident. Comprehensive insurance can pay for damage to your car caused by non-accident events like theft, vandalism, weather events, and accidents involving animals.

Full coverage costs Louisville drivers $257 per month, on average. Here’s a look at what Louisville drivers might pay for full-coverage car insurance from some top insurers in the city.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Nearly 14% of Kentucky drivers don’t have car insurance, according to the Insurance Research Council.[3] UI/UIM coverage can cover your property damages and medical bills if you’re in an accident with an uninsured driver or if you’re the victim of a hit-and-run.

    Roadside assistance

    If your car breaks down on the road, your battery dies, or you lock your keys in the car, roadside assistance coverage can send someone to help. Some insurers include roadside assistance in their standard policy, while others offer it as an add-on.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/4c9753bdbe/medical-payments.svg

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

    Personal injury protection

    Technically, Kentucky requires all drivers to have $10,000 in PIP coverage, which covers medical expenses regardless of who’s at fault in an accident. But you can opt out of PIP, and the limits on your right to sue after an accident, by filing a special form with the Kentucky Department of Insurance.[4]

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Speeding tickets, accidents, DUIs, and other driving violations can cause your insurance company to increase your rates. Drivers with past driving violations are at higher risk of filing claims, so insurers adjust their rates accordingly.

How Long Does an Accident Affect Your Car Insurance Rates?

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI: Progressive

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious crime. In Kentucky, a first offense can result in a six-month license suspension and 90 days in an alcohol or substance abuse program.[5]

A DUI violation will increase your car insurance rates significantly and stay on your record for 10 years. In more severe cases, insurance companies may even cancel your coverage or deny you new coverage if you try to buy a policy. But once the DUI is no longer listed on your motor vehicle report, you can anticipate a decrease in your car insurance rates.

On average, Louisville drivers with a DUI pay $238 per month for liability insurance. The following table shows liability insurance rates from top insurers for Kentucky drivers with a DUI on their motor vehicle records.

The below rates in Louisville, KY, are estimated rates current as of: Sunday, February 1 at 11:00 AM PST.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Progressive

Generally, senior citizens have the lowest car insurance rates of any age group. They tend to drive less than people of working age and have more experience behind the wheel. But despite having a clean driving record, you may see an increase in your car insurance rates once you turn 70.

Older drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Moreover, if a senior driver does get into an accident, their injuries are typically more severe, leading to higher medical bills and increased costs for the insurance company.

The average cost of car insurance for Louisville seniors is $220 per month for full-coverage insurance and $158 for liability-only coverage.

Here’s a look at average car insurance costs for senior drivers in Louisville.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Progressive

Teenage drivers get into crashes almost four times more often per mile driven, according to the IIHS.[6] Teens are more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors and have less experience handling road hazards like heavy rain and hail during spring storms in Louisville.

As a young driver, you can reduce your car insurance premium and find the most affordable coverage by taking advantage of various discounts. For instance, you can remain on your parents’ insurance policy, drive a safe car, leave your car at home if you go away to school, and earn good grades to qualify for student discounts. Additionally, some insurers reward good driving habits and accident-free records with discounts. You may also be able to get a discount by completing an approved driver education course.

Teen drivers in Louisville face average insurance costs of $334 per month for liability insurance and $466 for full-coverage insurance. The following table illustrates average costs for Louisville teens from some top insurance companies.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 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

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
