The average cost of car insurance in Maryland is $219 per month, or $2,624 per year. Car insurance quotes in Maryland are higher than the U.S. national average of $136 per month.

Because Maryland’s coastal location makes it prone to tropical storms and flooding, car insurance companies charge drivers more for coverage to offset the higher risk. Additionally, Maryland has one of the highest population densities in the U.S., which can increase the likelihood of accidents.[1]

Here’s what you need to know about getting cheap car insurance in Maryland and how to compare quotes to find the best deal for your needs.

Quick Facts
  • On average, Maryland drivers pay $177 per month for liability insurance and $260 per month for full coverage.

  • CSAA is the cheapest full-coverage car insurance company in Maryland, with monthly rates of $184.

  • Maryland’s full-coverage car insurance rates fell 9% in 2025, according to Insurify’s Insuring the American Driver report. But the state is still the second-most-expensive location in the U.S. for car insurance.

Switched to Progressive from USAA after 25 years. USAA would not work with me on lower car insurance rates (we are retired) after they jumped $80/month. I've been very impressed with Progressive, setting up auto for 2 cars, plus I moved our homeowners policy as well. I was disappointed that USAA wouldn't try harder to keep me as a customer, but switching to Progressive is proving to be a great move. Full policy matching what we had with USAA, saving $100/month!

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Maryland

Car insurance premiums are different for every driver. Factors like your age, credit score, ZIP code, gender, and vehicle type can all affect your personalized premiums.

But you can reduce your car insurance premiums in the following ways:

  • Choose high deductibles. For policies that require a deductible — such as collision insurance and comprehensive insurance — selecting a higher deductible will lower your monthly premium. But make sure you can afford a higher deductible if you need to file a claim.

  • Look for discounts. Most Maryland car insurance companies offer discounts that can reduce your insurance costs. Every insurer has different discounts, but some common ones are good student discounts, defensive driving course discounts, payment discounts, and safe vehicle discounts.

  • Bundle your policies. Purchasing two or more insurance policies from the same company, like car insurance and home insurance, can help you qualify for a bundling discount.

  • Shop around. The cost of car insurance will differ among insurance companies. To find the most affordable car insurance in Maryland for your situation, shop around and compare personalized quotes from several insurance companies.

Low-cost car insurance in Maryland

Maryland increased its minimum-required car insurance amounts in 2024, in addition to increasing car registration fees and insurance lapse penalties. The state doesn’t have a program to help low-income drivers find affordable car insurance, making it difficult for drivers to find low-cost car insurance options.

If you’re a Maryland driver looking for affordable car insurance, your best bet is to make sure you’re shopping around every six months and comparing quotes from three to five car insurance companies before buying a policy. Sometimes, switching insurers can save you a lot more than staying with the same company for a loyalty discount.

Changes in Maryland car insurance rates over time

Maryland has been among the 10 most-expensive states for car insurance since at least January 2021, when the average annual cost of full coverage was $2,204, according to Insurify’s proprietary data. At the end of 2025, the state had the second-most-expensive rates, averaging $3,601 for full coverage.

The state’s average peaked at just over $4,000 in March 2025 but has steadily declined since. Following a 9% decrease in rates last year, Maryland rates will likely continue to fall another 0.2% ($7) in 2026, Insurify data scientists project.

Here’s a look at how Maryland’s full-coverage car insurance average has fluctuated since January 2021.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance quotes in Maryland: USAA

Maryland drivers pay $260 per month for a full-coverage policy, on average. Below are some cheap full-coverage car insurance options in Maryland.

Car insurance requirements in Maryland

Maryland legally requires all drivers to carry car insurance. Maryland is an at-fault state, which means the driver responsible for causing an accident must compensate others for their bodily injuries and property damages, usually through their liability coverage.

Drivers must carry liability insurance with coverage limits of at least 30/60/15. Here’s what those numbers translate to:[2]

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident
Property damage liability$15,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident

In addition to the required coverages, many Maryland drivers can also benefit from endorsements. These optional coverages fill gaps in your standard policy. Below are some of the most common additional coverages available in Maryland, depending on your insurance company:

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

    Comprehensive coverage

    Gap coverage

    Accident forgiveness coverage

    With accident forgiveness, your car insurance premium won’t go up after your first at-fault accident.

    Maryland Auto Insurance

    If car insurance companies in Maryland deny you coverage, you can get guaranteed coverage through Maryland Auto Insurance.

    This program, formally known as the Maryland Auto Insurance Fund (MAIF), insures drivers who can’t get car insurance through the private market due to their credit score, lapses in coverage, or similar issues. Maryland Auto Insurance provides state-minimum and full-coverage policies, as well as several add-ons, including rental car coverage and towing insurance.

Cheapest car insurance companies in Maryland for drivers with an incident

Car insurance companies usually consider drivers with incidents on their record as high-risk drivers. If you have incidents such as speeding tickets or at-fault accidents, you’ll probably pay more for car insurance than someone with a clean record. More serious violations, such as driving under the influence (DUI) convictions, usually have the biggest effect on rates.

For example, people with a clean driving record in Maryland pay $177 per month for car insurance, on average. But after a speeding ticket, that average rate increases to $210 per month. And a DUI can cause it to jump to $285 per month.

These increases in premiums after driving infractions and violations are why it’s important to always drive safely and obey traffic laws.

Car insurance rates across Maryland cities

While car insurance rates across Maryland have gone up because of the state’s new minimum requirements, your rate still heavily depends on the city you live in.

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.
