At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
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.

Hamilton drivers pay an overall monthly average of $100 for car insurance, which is slightly higher than the Ohio average of $93.
Despite low rates overall, likely due in part to its comparatively small population size and less congested roadways, every Hamilton car insurance company offers different rates. You could pay more or less depending on the specific coverage you choose, the car you drive, and other factors.
Here’s what you should know about comparing quotes and finding affordable coverage in Hamilton.
Mile Auto, State Farm, and Progressive have the cheapest car insurance in Hamilton.
Drivers in Hamilton pay $81 per month for liability-only insurance and $138 per month for full coverage.
Hamilton had 1,421 traffic accidents in 2023, including 96 that involved either alcohol or drugs, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol data.
3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Hamilton
Hamilton drivers have many car insurance companies to choose from, but three companies stand out from the rest. While they provide some of the lowest rates on Hamilton car insurance, they’re also the best because of the coverage they offer and their financial strength ratings.
But “best” is subjective, so it’s important to look at the big picture when deciding whether a particular company is right for you.
Insurance Company | IQ Score The Insurify Quality (IQ) Score uses more than 15 criteria to objectively rate insurance companies on a one-to-ten scale. The Insurify editorial team researches insurer data to determine the final scores. | Full Coverage | Liability Only | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Farm | 9.3 | $73 | $45 | Rideshare drivers |
| Mile Auto | 8.8 | $62 | $40 | Low-mileage drivers |
| American Family | 9.3 | $105 | $65 | Discounts |
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.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Hamilton
Auto insurance companies consider various factors when determining your rates: the coverage you purchase, plus the type of car you drive, how much you drive it, and where you park it, for example. Personal factors like your age, gender, credit history, and driving record also affect your rate.[1]
When you’re looking for the best rate, a good way to start is by getting an insurance review from a local agent to find out what the best coverage is for your unique needs. That way, you won’t waste money by over-insuring or put yourself at risk by purchasing too little insurance.
Next, compare quotes from a few different companies to make sure you’re getting the lowest rate.
Here are some more ways to save money and lower your premiums:
Increase your collision or comprehensive deductibles.
Purchase multiple policies from the same insurance company.
Improve your credit standing.
Apply for discounts.
Avoid speeding and other risky driving behaviors.
