I have mixed feelings about Geico because they have tried to increase my premium every time it was time to renew my insurance after 6 months. I pay close to $160.00 for one vehicle, with no DUIs on my record, and I'm nearing 60 years old. I think that's ridiculous.

Receptionist is sweet but your policy needs improvement
The lady I talked to was very knowledgeable, patient, and professional in every way. The only problem I have with all insurance companies is that I can’t drop comprehensive insurance without dropping collision. It seems like a tactic by insurance companies to take more money from people who don’t need comprehensive coverage. I’ve lived in my house for 20 years, and the chances of my car getting stolen are really slim. There are no trees close enough to fall on and destroy my car. I live in the city and seldom drive at night, so my chances of hitting a deer are very slim. My car is completely paid for and not financed, so why can’t I drop comprehensive coverage? I don’t need it and haven’t for a long time!

Pros
  • Cheap average premiums in Mississippi

  • Below-average amount of NAIC complaints

  • Strong claims satisfaction rating from JD Power

Cons
  • Below-average customer satisfaction rating from JD Power in the Southeast region

  • Gap insurance not available

  • Below-average amount of NAIC complaints

LC - National General Insurance Satisfaction
I was with National General a few years back, and overall I had a good experience. They allowed me to switch from a 6-month to a 12-month policy, which reduced my rate and overall cost. Most auto insurers don’t offer 12-month vehicle policies. The downside is that billing updates can take a while to catch up when you make changes like switching from a 6-month to a 12-month policy. I kept getting letters about possible cancellation due to payment discrepancies.

How we chose the best car insurance companies in Mississippi expand/collapse

Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Mississippi to assess which offer the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. We prioritized competitive rates, 24/7 customer service, low-mileage discounts or programs, safe driving discounts, homeownership discounts or bundling options, and specialty or supplemental coverages.

Average cost of car insurance in Mississippi

The average cost of car insurance in Mississippi costs an average of $89 per month for liability coverage and $186 for full coverage. The national average is slightly higher, likely in part because Mississippi has a much lower population density than the country as a whole.[1]

That said, Mississippi drivers face risks that may increase their car insurance premiums. Mississippi has the highest rate of uninsured drivers in the U.S., with 28% of drivers not having car insurance, according to Insurance Research Council data.

Drivers in the state also suffer more than double the traffic fatalities per driver than the national average, making it the deadliest driving state in the country, according to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.[2]

Insurify data projects that average Mississippi car insurance rates will increase by about 5% in 2026. For comparison, Insurify estimates that national rates will only increase by about 1%.

How to get the best car insurance in Mississippi

You can follow these tips to make the most of your Mississippi car insurance and protect your liability and assets at the best price possible:

    Buy uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) motorist insurance

    More than 1 in 4 drivers on Mississippi roads have no insurance. Many more will have inadequate insurance, which will cause problems if you need to make a claim on their policy. Having UM/UIM coverage can protect you financially if you experience this.

    Avoid coverage gaps at all costs

    A lapse in insurance coverage is bad for your insurance record and your future rates. And, if law enforcement pulls you over in Mississippi without proof of insurance, you can face a penalty of $1,000.[3]

    Compare quotes

    Prices are rising in Mississippi faster than in the U.S. as a whole. In a changing marketplace, you need to make the extra effort to find companies that are bucking these trends.

    Consider higher limits than the state requirements

    Citing the increasing cost of auto repairs and medical services, the Mississippi Insurance Department recommends that you buy higher limits than the state-required minimum liability insurance.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 250 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
