  • 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.

My only problem with State Farm is the rising cost of my insurance. I've been with them for about 35 years, and my husband had one accident last year, causing the premiums to increase by 100%. What's that about? They've just increased mine as well.

Florida Insurance Cost Woes
Reviewed in Florida on July 2025
It seems to be the best price here in Florida. Customer service is lacking. There's no agent to talk to. When we bought the policy, we had an agent who was okay, but he left, and now it is a house account. We would prefer a broker to find us the best rate, but alas, that is lacking in Florida. We feel frustrated and alone in trying to find the best rate. We had a better deal in Arizona.

Stay away from Geico. They do not lower rates for good drivers, drivers using dashcams, accident-free, ticket-free.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Las Cruces

Various factors affect premiums, including your age, driving record, ZIP code, credit score, amount of coverage, and more. You can’t control every factor insurance companies consider. But you can do some things to find the best deal, including:

  • Increase your deductible. Auto insurance policies with higher deductibles typically cost less than policies with low deductibles. This is because you’re taking on more of the risk yourself.

  • Improve your credit score. Insurers may consider your credit history when determining rates. Drivers with better credit typically qualify for lower rates.

  • Drop comprehensive and collision. If you drive an older car that isn’t worth much, dropping comprehensive and collision coverage can help you save. However, if you have a late-model vehicle or a car that maintains its value, it’s probably best to hold onto these coverages.

  • Shop around. Rates can vary significantly between different companies. Getting quotes from multiple insurers can help you find cheap car insurance in Las Cruces.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

This is because insurance companies consider people without clean driving records to be higher-risk and more likely to file a claim in the future.

In the table below, you can see how different incident types affect your car insurance rates in Las Cruces.

Average cost of car insurance by age

Age is one of the most important factors insurance companies use to determine cost. Teens and young adults have the highest rates because they have the least experience. They’re also more likely to get in an accident than other age groups.[5]

Rates decrease as drivers gain more experience. They typically drop significantly around age 25 and remain low until age 70. After that, you may see an uptick in price again.

Here’s a look at average rates for Las Cruces drivers by age.

Las Cruces car insurance quotes by credit tier

New Mexico insurers may consider an applicant’s credit history when determining rates. People with excellent or good credit typically qualify for lower rates than people with poor credit.

However, the New Mexico Personal Insurance Credit Information Act limits how companies can use credit.

A person’s credit history can’t be the only factor insurers use to set rates or deny or cancel coverage. And if an applicant has a limited credit history, the company can’t increase their rate because of it. The insurer must give the person average or above-average rates or calculate the policy’s price using other factors.

The table below shows average full-coverage rates for drivers based on credit scores.

    GEICO, State Farm, and USAA rank as three of the top insurers in Las Cruces, and it’s easy to see why. Each is a national insurer recognized for its financial stability, discounts offered, competitive rates, and outstanding customer service. But keep in mind that the best insurer for you may be another one entirely. That’s why it’s important to compare quotes from at least three to five insurers to find the best policy for you.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 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

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
