Car insurance policies in St. Louis cost an average of $201 per month — considerably more than the national average of $136 per month. Known for its iconic Gateway Arch, successful sports teams, and impressive arts scene, St. Louis is the second-largest city in Missouri.[1] [2]

The large number of drivers on St. Louis’ roadways and the city’s relatively high number of property crimes likely contribute to its higher-than-average car insurance costs. But some top insurers offer rates below the city average.

Here’s what you need to know about finding cheap car insurance in St. Louis.

Quick Facts
  • USAA, Progressive, and State Farm have the cheapest car insurance in St. Louis.

  • St. Louis drivers pay monthly averages of $150 for liability-only coverage and $252 for full coverage.

  • Full-coverage policies cost St. Louis drivers an average of $3,026 per year.

3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in St. Louis

The best car insurance companies vary from one city to the next, but it’s always important to consider your insurance needs and finances. Car insurance is a recurring expense, and finding a policy that fits your budget and provides adequate coverage is essential.

State Farm, USAA, and American Family offer the most competitive rates for a few common types of drivers in St. Louis. Even so, the best insurance company for you may be entirely different. Each driver has a unique driving history, and each insurer calculates rates differently, which only emphasizes the importance of comparing car insurance quotes before buying.

  • 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.

Reviewed in Missouri on February 12, 2026
I had a disappointing experience with State Farm. After my wife had two strokes, I took her off the policy. I was told that my premium would decrease, but instead, it increased by $30.00/month. When I filed a claim for flood damage caused by a water softener unit in my home, they categorized it as sewage backup. They also informed me that mold was not covered by the policy. I am now in the process of switching to a different company. I have been with State Farm for almost 60 years, and I feel dissatisfied with their service.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in St. Louis

Your credit score, age, location, driving record, and vehicle all affect your car insurance rates. While you can’t change some of these factors, you can take steps to secure a better deal.

Here are some simple strategies for lowering your car insurance bill:

  • Limit your mileage. If you only drive a few hundred miles monthly, consider switching to a usage-based policy where you only pay for the miles you drive. Make sure to estimate your annual mileage accurately. If you drive infrequently, you’ll typically pay less.

  • Apply for discounts. Most insurers offer a variety of discounts. Check for discounts related to age, driving record, student status, and loyalty.

  • Bundle policies. You can usually qualify for a discount if you get multiple policies from one insurer, such as your home and auto insurance.

  • Don’t avoid extra coverage. It’s tempting to opt for the minimum coverage amounts to save money. But even though it costs more in the short term, you could save money if you’re in an accident and have more extensive coverage.

Car insurance requirements in Missouri

Missouri is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who causes an accident must turn to their own insurance company to cover the claim damages.[4]

The state mandates liability-only auto insurance to ensure drivers have adequate coverage, including minimum amounts for bodily injury liability coverage, property damage liability insurance, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.

Below are the mandated coverage limits for drivers in St. Louis:

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident 
Property damage liability$25,000 per accident 
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident 

While the minimum-coverage amounts provide some financial protection, you might want to purchase higher limits or additional coverages. If you lease or finance your car, you might have to add extra protections since lenders usually require collision and comprehensive coverage.

The following coverages exceed the state minimums and are worth considering, especially if you drive frequently:

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

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive insurance provides financial protection if your car sustains damage due to something other than a collision, including theft, fire, and vandalism.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Collision coverage

    If you’re at fault for an accident, collision insurance protects you financially.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/73ee7a876e/repair.svg

    Glass coverage

    This pays for repairs if your windshield or windows are shattered or damaged. It’s usually a supplemental policy.

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

    Gap coverage

    If you finance your car and owe more than the vehicle is currently worth, gap insurance can help cover the difference in the event of a claim.

Keep in Mind

As you decide what coverage you need, it’s important to consider your budget, the value of your car, and how much you’ll be driving.

Pure comparative fault

Missouri abides by the rules of pure comparative fault, which means drivers can be at fault for a percentage of an accident. Because of that, your damages will be reduced by the amount you’re at fault. After drivers file a claim, insurance companies can investigate the accident and determine the percentage of fault for everyone involved.[5]

For example, if you’re in an accident, the other driver might be at fault for 70% of the collision, but you might be responsible for 30%, so only 70% of your claim would be covered. If you disagree with the final evaluation, you can seek legal help or ask your insurance company to meet with the other insurer to reconsider.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Some factors, like location and age, affect your car insurance rates and are impossible to control. But your driving record — especially whether you have any violations — also affects your rates.

Insurers consider the incidents on your driving record when determining rates. Incidents like driving under the influence (DUI), speeding tickets, and at-fault accidents can all cause your rates to increase. Because of that, it’s even more important to compare quotes and find the most competitive rates.

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.

  • 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
