We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Rates trend higher than rates from many competitors
Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Nevada 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.
How to get the best car insurance in Nevada
The companies above are solid options if you’re shopping for new coverage, but understanding some basic guidelines can help you find the best policy.[1] Keep these tips in mind when you’re shopping for car insurance.
Consider how much coverage you need
Buying more car insurance coverage than you need leads to overspending. Think critically about the type and amount of car insurance coverage you need so you buy only what’s necessary. If you’re unsure about the policy type or coverage amount you need, ask an insurance agent for guidance.[2]
Shop smart
The higher the actual cash value (market value) of your vehicle, the more it’ll cost to insure. Picking a budget car won’t just save you money on the car lot — it’ll save you money on insurance, too. You may also save on vehicle registration and maintenance costs over the years.
Compare quotes from several insurance companies
Ideally, you want to compare quotes from at least three different companies to see which one can offer you the best coverage for the right price. When shopping for a new car insurance policy, read online reviews from real policyholders and consider customer service scores to get an idea of what it’s like to work with the company.
Pay close attention to reviews that describe issues with filing claims or dealing with uninsured motorists. Remember, the goal isn’t necessarily to find “cheap” insurance but an affordable policy that offers the coverage you need.
Look for discounts
Many auto insurance companies offer a variety of discounts. It’s always a good idea to compare discount options before choosing a car insurance company. For example, if you have young drivers in your household, you may save money if they qualify for a good student discount. Similarly, a mileage-based discount might save you some money if you work from home and don’t commute.
Bundle policies
If you work with an insurer that offers a variety of insurance products, you can often save money by bundling your policies. For example, you may qualify for a discount if you have a renters or homeowners policy with the same company as your car insurance policy.
Average cost of car insurance in Nevada
Where you live — down to the ZIP code — can affect your insurance rates.[3] That means if you live in the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas, you may pay a different premium than someone who lives in less-populated Lake Tahoe.
Local weather, crime, and traffic patterns can affect the risks drivers face, and insurers consider those risks when setting premiums. Your driving record, the type of vehicle you drive, and your credit history can also affect the rate an insurer offers.
If you live in Nevada, your auto insurance policy will be a significant part of your monthly budget; Nevada has the fourth-highest auto insurance rates in the country.[4] The average rate for a full-coverage car insurance policy in Nevada is $240 per month, while the national average is much lower, at $179 per month. Liability-only coverage in Nevada costs $157 per month.
