Safeco is owned by Liberty Mutual and differentiates itself by offering a more personalized — yet more affordable — touch. You’ll work with a local insurance agent for everything, including help with getting a quote and purchasing a policy.
If you’re a homeowner as well, you’ll only have to pay one deductible if both your house and car are damaged in the same incident. Safeco pairs you up with a local agent to get a quote and manage your policy, all while maintaining low premiums.

Why we picked this company
State Farm is the largest insurer of private passenger cars in the country, and it doesn’t skimp on quality. It consistently gets top ratings for its helpful mobile app, overall customer service, and claims satisfaction.
The only caveat is State Farm is better for standard drivers. If you have any insurability challenges, such as a poor credit score or a history of accidents or tickets, it may not be quite so affordable. This large insurer offers a good blend of quality customer service, strong financial standings, and plenty of coverage options.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Providence
One of the best ways you can get cheap car insurance is by comparing quotes. Each company weighs factors differently — your credit score may be more important with one company, for example, while your driving record may be a bigger influence with another insurer.
Other factors companies look at include your marital status, age, gender, ZIP code, and how long you’ve been driving. Here are a few ways you can save:
Increase your deductible. The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your premiums will be — but make sure you select a deductible that you can still afford to pay out of pocket if needed.
Bundle home and auto policies. Many insurers offer generous discounts to drivers who bundle their auto policies with home or renters insurance.
Apply for discounts. Look for companies that offer relevant discounts for you, but be mindful that your overall costs can still be lower with a company that doesn’t offer many discounts.
Consider a telematics program. Many companies offer mobile apps or devices you can plug into your car to record your driving, with corresponding rate reductions for good drivers.
Reduce your amount of coverage. Purchasing a smaller amount of coverage (if you’re already buying more than legally required) can be a good way to save money.

Car insurance requirements in Rhode Island
Rhode Island, like most states, is an at-fault state for auto insurance. This means you’ll need to pay for damages and injuries to another party if you cause a car accident, and vice versa. Rhode Island state law requires you to carry a minimum level of liability coverage.[2]
Below are the minimum limits you must carry to drive legally in the state:
Coverage
▲▼
Minimum Requirements
▲▼
Bodily injury liability
$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$25,000
Other types of coverages you may want to consider adding include:
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for physical damage to your car after collisions with vehicles or objects like trees and telephone poles.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage pays for non-collision damages, such as when your neighbor’s kid breaks a window with a baseball or if a tree falls on your car.
Medical payments coverage
Medical payments covers medical costs and other related costs if you’re involved in an accident.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage provides liability coverage if you’re hit by someone driving illegally without insurance or if their coverage isn’t sufficient.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Having an incident on your driving record — most commonly a speeding ticket, at-fault accident, or a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) — can affect your ability to get affordable coverage. These infractions typically result in an increase in your car insurance rates, though it may take more than one speeding ticket to see a big effect.[3]
While many insurers will charge you higher rates after these incidents, you can still find affordable coverage from some companies. Some even specialize in offering coverage to higher-risk drivers.

Is car insurance more expensive in Providence?
Car insurance costs a good bit more in Providence compared to the national average. While the average U.S. resident pays $106 per month for a liability-only policy, Providence residents pay $143. Full coverage costs even more, with an average premium of $204 for people living in Providence versus $172 per month for the entire U.S.
Rates may be higher in Providence for many reasons. One contributing factor may be the number of uninsured drivers: One out of every six drivers in Rhode Island doesn’t carry any insurance, and this drives up costs for everyone. Other factors could include things like higher rates of vandalism, theft, and road rage incidents.
More cities in Rhode Island
Even within Rhode Island itself, Providence is one of the most expensive places to insure your car, with the average cost of car insurance in Rhode Island sitting at $146. Here’s how average full-coverage quotes compare between Providence and neighboring towns:
