The average monthly cost of car insurance in Somerville is $121, which is lower than the state average of $129 and the national average of $137. 

The relatively low insurance rate in Somerville may be attributed to less driving in the area. Only about one-third of Somerville residents drive to work, which means fewer cars on the road and a lower risk of accidents.

But every car insurance company has a different way of setting rates, so the amount you pay will depend on your age, marital status, driving history, coverage needs, and other factors. That means it’s still important to compare car insurance rates with several companies.

Quick Facts
  • Liability-only insurance costs Somerville drivers an average of $95 per month, and full coverage costs $146 per month.

  • State Farm, GEICO, and USAA are the cheapest car insurance companies in Somerville.

  • Insurers in Massachusetts can’t consider your credit history when determining rates, underwriting policies, or renewing coverage.

3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Somerville

While it’s possible to find cheap car insurance in Somerville, the best car insurance company for you is the one that meets your unique needs. For example, you might want to look for military discounts or get coverage that other insurance companies don’t offer.

Whatever your needs, you can find the best insurer for you by getting quotes from several insurance companies and comparing the price as well as the coverage.

Here’s a brief look at three of the top insurers in Somerville. The rates shown in the table below are for Massachusetts.

  • 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.

Raising Prices Too High
Reviewed in New Hampshire on February 6, 2026
It was okay, but now they are raising the price on my policy by $572.20. They said it's because of rates for ambulances, fire, and police in Gilford. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with my auto insurance, but that's what they said.

Poor Business Practice
Reviewed in Michigan on January 30, 2026
The price is a bit cheaper than average at first. The issue is that after a month, they claimed they never received the qualifying medical insurance letter, changed your PIP allocations, and charged you hundreds more than the original quote. They make you jump through hoops to get your money back, then only return a minute fraction of it and claim it was the customer's fault. They will not return the money wrongfully taken for "lack of medical coverage letter"—they received it! And let's just for amusement say they never received it, you'd think an email, text, or call to say "Hey, we don't have the medical coverage letter, and we need that or we will deduct such and such on such and such date" would be appropriate... but no, they'd rather be shady! Additionally, getting a service agent at certain times can be difficult!

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Somerville

To find the cheapest car insurance in Somerville, it may help to know what factors insurers look at. Your driving record and the car you drive heavily influence your premium rate, but so do characteristics like your age, gender, marital status, and ZIP code.

Here are some tips to help you find cheap car insurance in Somerville:[1]

  • Compare car insurance quotes. Because rates can vary among insurers, it’s a good idea to review quotes from multiple companies. Comparison shopping can help you find the coverage you need at the best price available to you.

  • Adjust your coverage amount. About one-third of Somerville residents commute by public transportation and may drive infrequently. If you do, you have a lower chance of getting into an accident, and you may be fine with less coverage. You can save by increasing your deductible, dropping comprehensive or collision coverage, or lowering your liability amounts.

  • Consider a telematics program. Many insurance companies use telematics programs, which require you to install a device in your car or use an app that tracks your driving behavior. If you demonstrate safe driving habits, you could save up to 30% off your auto insurance policy, depending on the insurer.

  • Maintain a clean driving record. Insurers generally consider you to be a safe driver when you avoid speeding tickets, DUIs, and at-fault accidents. This lowers risk for the insurance company, so it may offer you lower premiums.

  • Ask about discounts. Your insurance company may offer discounts for things like driving safely, receiving good grades, or bundling your auto coverage with another type of insurance policy with that company. These discounts could help you save, so ask your insurer to see what you might qualify for.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Somerville: State Farm

If you cause a car accident, liability-only car insurance will cover the other party’s medical bills and the costs of repairing or replacing their property.

However, car insurance requirements differ in Massachusetts because it’s a no-fault state. Massachusetts drivers must carry liability insurance in addition to personal injury protection (PIP), which pays for the policyholder’s medical expenses after an accident, no matter who’s at fault.

You also must carry uninsured motorist insurance, which pays for your property damage if you’re in an accident with an at-fault driver without coverage.[2]

Liability-only car insurance in Somerville costs an average of $95 per month. The following insurers offer the cheapest liability-only car insurance in Somerville.

Car insurance requirements in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a no-fault state, which means your insurance company covers your medical costs following an accident, regardless of who caused it. But if you’re at fault, your liability coverage will pay for the other party’s costs.

Because the Bay State follows no-fault rules, all drivers must carry bodily injury liability, property damage liability, personal injury protection, and uninsured motorist coverage.

The minimum requirements for each of these coverages are below.[2]

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident
Property damage liability$5,000 per accident 
Personal injury protection (PIP)$8,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist bodily injury$20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident

While the following coverages are optional in the state of Massachusetts, you might want to consider them for more protection:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/100x100/9997698e9e/emergency-roadside-service.svg

    Roadside assistance coverage

    Each insurer may offer different services, but roadside assistance usually covers towing, jump-starts, flat-tire changes, and more for policyholders.

    Collision coverage

    Regardless of fault, collision insurance pays to repair or replace your car after you’re in a collision with another vehicle or object.

    Comprehensive coverage

    Gap coverage

    Gap insurance pays the difference between what you owe on a car loan and the current value of your car if it’s totaled in an accident. It might be a good idea to buy this type of coverage if you lease or finance your car.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Having a traffic violation on your record is more than just an inconvenience — it can also cause your car insurance rates to increase.[3] Insurers generally consider you a higher risk when you have a speeding ticket, driving under the influence violation, or an at-fault accident on your record, and they’ll take that into consideration when pricing your policy at renewal.

But you can still find car insurance at an affordable price even if you don’t have a spotless driving record. The table below shows how different driving incidents can affect your car insurance rates.

Car insurance rates are highest for young drivers because they’re more likely to be involved in car accidents and are easily distracted on the roads.[4] Rates start decreasing around age 35 and decline steadily over a few decades. But premiums go up for senior drivers around age 70, when the risk of an accident rises again.[5]
