The average cost of car insurance in Ohio is $93 per month, which is well below the national average of $136. But premiums vary by deductible and coverage level.
For example, liability-only policies in Ohio average $69 per month, while full-coverage policies cost an average of $116 because they offer more protection.
Below are companies offering cheap car insurance in Ohio for both liability-only and full coverage, based on Insurify rate data from 120+ top insurance companies.
Driver Category | Cheapest Insurance Company in Ohio | Cheapest Monthly Quote in OH |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Mile Auto | $41 |
| State minimum coverage | Mile Auto | $41 |
| Full coverage | Mile Auto | $63 |
| Drivers with a clean record | Mile Auto | $41 |
| After a speeding ticket | Mile Auto | $51 |
| After an at-fault accident | Mile Auto | $56 |
| After an OVI | Mile Auto | $58 |
| Teens/new drivers | Mile Auto | $91 |
| Seniors | Mile Auto | $32 |
| Bad credit | Mile Auto | $50 |
Liability-only car insurance may be the cheapest option for many Ohio drivers while still meeting the state’s minimum requirements. This coverage pays for injuries and property damage if you cause an accident, but it doesn’t cover your own injuries or vehicle repairs.

While a basic liability policy satisfies Ohio’s legal requirements, it can leave you seriously exposed financially if you cause an accident. These days, even a minor accident can lead to more than $50,000 in medical bills or $25,000 in property damage (Ohio’s current minimum limits).
In these cases, drivers with a state-minimum liability policy would be responsible for covering anything above those figures out of their own pocket.
Mile Auto currently offers the cheapest average liability rates in Ohio, but it may not be the best fit for every Buckeye driver. The table below highlights several of the cheapest liability companies in Ohio.

Full-coverage car insurance tends to be the best option for most Buckeye drivers. In Ohio, full coverage typically includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage.
Although full coverage generally costs more than liability-only coverage (Ohio’s average rates are $116 and $69 per month, respectively), it offers more protection, most notably for your own vehicle.
We found that Mile Auto offers the best full-coverage rates for many Ohio drivers, averaging $63 per month.
But rates also vary quite a bit from one Ohio driver to the next, so it’s worth comparing quotes. The companies below offer the cheapest full-coverage insurance in Ohio, on average.

Insurify Car is a flexible, one-week car insurance option for Ohio drivers who don’t need a traditional six- or 12-month auto policy. Unlike standard car insurance coverage, weekly insurance lets you pay for short-term protection and renew only when you need coverage.
It could be a good fit if you’re borrowing a vehicle or only driving temporarily. It may also work well if you only need liability coverage or you can’t make a large up-front payment.
You can check eligibility, view coverage details, and get pricing directly through Insurify Car.
Rates and coverage options vary across Ohio, whether you live in a large metro area like Cincinnati or Cleveland or a small rural town. Comparing the best car insurance companies in Ohio can help you find the right coverage for the lowest price.

Car insurance costs in Ohio remain below the national average, with full-coverage premiums averaging $1,368 per year in 2026. Rates across the U.S. surged from 2022 to 2024, partly due to riskier driving behavior after the COVID-19 pandemic. But they dropped by around 6% nationally in 2025.
Looking ahead, Insurify projects a slight 0.7% increase in Ohio by the end of 2026, bringing the projected state average to $1,377 per year.
The table below illustrates how average car insurance rates in Ohio have changed over the last five years.

Liability rates start as low as $41 per month
Ohio law requires you to have an active car insurance policy to drive legally. No one else can drive your vehicle without their own coverage. To meet Ohio car insurance requirements, you must have the following minimum liability limits for bodily injury and property damage:[1]
Type of Coverage | Ohio Requirement |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury liability (per person) | $25,000 |
| Bodily injury liability (per accident) | $50,000 |
| Property damage liability | $25,000 |
The state of Ohio also requires you to provide proof of insurance at traffic stops and after accidents using either a physical or digital ID card.
Ohio is an at-fault, or “tort,” state, meaning the driver who causes a crash is responsible for resulting injuries and property damage.
Car insurance rates in Ohio differ from one city to the next. Large metro areas like Columbus and Cleveland are among the most expensive, and Newark and Springfield are a couple of the most affordable.
You can compare average monthly car insurance quotes for select Ohio cities below.
City | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Canton | $92 |
| Cincinnati | $109 |
| Cleveland | $113 |
| Columbus | $118 |
| Dayton | $98 |
| Hamilton | $100 |

Ohio experienced more than 263,000 car crashes in 2025, marking a streak of five straight years with over a quarter of a million crashes.[2] And those accidents tend to lead to higher insurance rates for the drivers responsible for the collisions.

The following rates are some of the cheapest in Ohio if you have an at-fault accident on your record.

Getting an operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI) conviction in Ohio can mean three days in jail and possible enrollment in an intervention program.[3] It also means much higher car insurance rates — the average in Ohio jumps from $69 per month for drivers with a clean record to $93 per month after an OVI conviction.
Mile Auto may have the most affordable car insurance in Ohio for drivers with an OVI, but several companies offer relatively affordable rates. The table below shows Ohio’s cheapest OVI insurance quotes for liability-only coverage.

If you’re on the hunt for cheaper car insurance in the Buckeye State, check out our answers to common questions below.
Mile Auto currently offers the cheapest average car insurance rates in Ohio, at $41 per month, according to Insurify data.
Ohio drivers looking for more affordable car insurance have a few options. Comparing multiple quotes is often the most effective route to cheaper rates, but you can also pursue discounts, adjust your coverage limits, and raise your deductible.
Ohio state law requires all drivers to maintain at least 25/50/25 coverage. That means you’ll need a minimum of $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 of the same coverage per accident, and an additional $25,000 in property damage coverage.
While these limits comply with state law, it’s worth increasing your limits if you can afford to. Many insurance experts recommend liability limits of at least 100/300/100.
Yes. The General is a good insurance company, especially for Ohio drivers who struggle to find coverage elsewhere. The General specializes in “non-standard” insurance for high-risk drivers. Its average rate in Ohio is $61 per month for a basic liability policy.
In addition to Ohio’s state-mandated liability coverage, Lemonade offers collision, comprehensive, medical payments, uninsured/underinsured motorist, and temporary transportation coverage.
