How to get the best car insurance in Mississippi
If you want to get the absolute best car insurance available in Mississippi, you should keep a few things in mind.[1]
Maintain a clean driving record
Keeping a clean driving record is one of the best ways to ensure you get the best car insurance in Mississippi. Infractions on your driving record almost always result in higher car insurance premiums, and serious ones can even cause you to lose your license. Insurers consider your driving history when setting rates, and good drivers always pay the least.
Consider your coverage level
Think about how much coverage you actually need before signing your policy. Consider how you use your vehicle, how often you drive, and whether you’re a safe driver. If you’re a frequent commuter and your drive is packed with traffic, you’ll want to carry both collision and comprehensive insurance. But if you drive infrequently and have an old car that’s not worth much, you may be okay with minimum coverage.
Utilize discounts
Car insurance discounts are a great way to ensure you have a good policy. Almost every car insurance company offers numerous discounts, and you likely qualify for a couple of them. A common discount is bundling home and auto insurance policies with the same insurer. Adding this and even one or two other discounts can save you quite a bit on your policy. Talk to an agent to see what you’re eligible for.
Read customer reviews
Make sure you understand your potential new car insurance company’s reputation before buying a policy. Don’t just go for the cheapest option without doing any research — it may not be worth the hassle if it’s difficult to deal with. Consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power and the NAIC. Additionally, read unfilitered customer reviews from Trustpilot, Google, and Reddit to get a better understanding of what to expect if you need to use your coverage.
Compare car insurance quotes
Always compare car insurance quotes from at least three car insurance companies before choosing a policy. This is one of the best ways to ensure you’re getting a good deal. Every insurance company weighs the various driving factors like age, location, and driving record differently. You might pay significantly less with one insurer than another for the same policy.
Average cost of car insurance in Mississippi
The average cost of car insurance in Mississippi is $102 per month, compared to the national average rate of $140. Mississippi drivers pay an average of $67 per month for liability coverage and $137 for a full-coverage policy.
The average annual cost of full coverage in Mississippi increased by 1% from December 2024 to June 2025. Many vehicle parts have become significantly more expensive in recent years, driving up repair costs and, in turn, insurance premiums.[2] This is why it’s so important to compare quotes before deciding on a company.
