  • 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 Memphis

Insurance companies consider many different factors when setting car insurance premiums. While not everything is within your control, here are some steps you can take to land cheaper car insurance rates in the Memphis area:

  • Get multiple quotes. Shopping around to check rates with at least three insurance companies can help you uncover affordable insurance deals for the coverage you need.

  • Consider pay-per-mile insurance. If you live in a walkable or public transportation-accessible area, using your car less often and paying for insurance per mile could help you save.

  • Look for discounts. Insurers offer a wide variety of discounts that can lower your rates. For example, bundling your car insurance with a renters insurance or homeowners insurance policy could lower your rate. Paying your insurance in full or signing up for paperless billing may also qualify you for insurance discounts.

  • Enroll in safe driving courses and programs. Some insurers lower your rate if you take driver courses or enroll in programs that monitor your driving habits and reward you with discounts for safe driving. If you’re a cautious driver, consider looking for insurance companies with apps that track your driving and give you perks for good driving habits.

Memphis seniors pay an overall average of $123 per month for car insurance. Insurance rates for seniors vary by company, and below are the cheapest insurance options in Memphis.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Mile Auto

Car insurance rates for teenagers and young adults typically skew much higher than for adults because teens have less experience behind the wheel, and limited driving history puts them at a higher risk for accidents.

Teen drivers in Memphis pay an overall average of $302 per month for car insurance.

But teens still have plenty of ways to save on car insurance, including:

  • Stay on their parents’ policy. Adding children to a parents’ policy is typically less expensive than purchasing a policy individually for a teen driver.

  • Apply for student discounts. Some insurance companies offer good student discounts for students who maintain a certain GPA. Enrolling your teen in a defensive driving course is another strategy that could help lower their rate.

  • Drive a safe vehicle. Teens who drive new cars with certain safety features — like alarms or other anti-theft devices — may qualify for lower car insurance rates.[3]

Below are the cheapest insurance quotes for teens in the Memphis area.

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.

  • 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
