3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Murfreesboro

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 28,000 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.

Very Expensive Auto and Home
State Farm consistently ranks as one of the cheapest insurers in the country regardless of where you live, but it’s a bit personal when it comes to Murfreesboro. The company is actually one of the largest employers in Rutherford County, with more than 1,600 area employees.
In addition to low average rates, State Farm also has a reputation for excellent customer service. J.D. Power gave it an above-average rating compared to other companies operating in Tennessee on its 2024 annual survey of overall satisfaction among customers.

GEICO also gets high marks for its overall customer satisfaction and its financial stability. But unlike USAA and State Farm, GEICO offers many discounts for being a client or member of certain associations or for graduating from certain schools.
If you’re a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, for example, you may be able to get cheaper rates with GEICO than other insurers. You may also still qualify for good discounts even if you’ve graduated from other nearby schools.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Murfreesboro
Each insurer has its own underwriting formula for determining rates, and there’s not much you can do to change some of the factors that go into that calculation, such as your age, gender, marital status, and where you live.
However, many more factors are under your control, and you can follow these strategies to get even cheaper rates on your car insurance:
Look for specific discounts relevant to you, such as buying home insurance or life insurance with the same company.
Use telematics devices that offer cheaper rates and coach you toward safer driving skills.
Choose a higher collision or comprehensive deductible to lower your premium. Just make sure you have enough tucked away in an emergency fund in case you ever need to file a claim.
Check your credit report and your credit score for errors and look for ways you can improve your credit standing. This can also help you pay less for loans and credit in general.
Try to drive less, and consider mileage-based insurance if you’re a really low-mileage driver.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Murfreesboro: State Farm
Liability-only coverage helps pay for any damage or injuries suffered by the other party in an accident you cause. However, it’s important to remember that liability coverage doesn’t protect you, your car, or your passengers.
Many drivers choose liability-only coverage because it’s the cheapest option, and the price can vary with different insurers. The average rate for liability coverage in Murfreesboro is $78, and you can see how rates vary from top insurers below.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Murfreesboro: State Farm
If you’re looking to protect yourself and your vehicle against damage, you’ll want to opt for a full-coverage policy instead. Your lender or leasing company may require this type of policy if you’re financing or leasing your car. Full-coverage insurance typically includes comprehensive and collision insurance, which pays to restore or replace your vehicle if it’s damaged in an accident or through non-collision causes.
Full coverage is more expensive because of its extended protections, and the average rate in Murfreesboro is $167 per month. Here’s a collection of quotes from top insurers.

Car insurance requirements in Tennessee
Tennessee is an at-fault — or tort liability — state. If you’re injured in a car accident, you may be able to sue the other party, and vice versa.
To make sure you’re able to pay for any potential losses you cause, Tennessee auto insurance laws require you to purchase a minimum amount of liability insurance as follows:
Coverage ▲▼ | Minimum Requirements ▲▼ |
---|---|
Bodily injury liability | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |
Property damage liability | $25,000 |
Tennessee doesn’t require you to purchase any other coverage options beyond this amount. However, if you’re interested in coverage that extends beyond the required minimum, you may want to consider:
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays to fix or replace your car if you cause an accident with another vehicle, or you hit a stationary object like a tree or light pole.
Comprehensive coverage
If you hit an animal, or something happens while you’re not behind the wheel — like falling trees, floods, fire, vehicle theft, or vandalism — comprehensive coverage can pay for repairs.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
This pays for your damages if you’re hit by an uninsured driver or if their auto insurance coverage isn’t enough to fully cover the damage they caused. It also covers hit-and-run accidents. Tennessee requires insurance companies to offer UM/UIM coverage to all drivers, but you can decline it in writing if you don't want it.
Accident forgiveness
An optional add-on, accident forgiveness prevents your car insurance rates from rising after your first at-fault accident. You'll generally need a clean driving record for at least three years to be eligible to buy this coverage.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Your driving history is one of the most important factors insurers use to determine your car insurance premium. Any past incidents — such as speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, or convictions for driving under the influence (DUI) — can make your insurance cost a lot more for several years. In the sections that follow, you’ll see how individual incident types affect your car insurance rates in Murfreesboro.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: State Farm
Everyone speeds at some point in time, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous. In 2023, speed was a factor in 17% of all Murfreesboro crashes that resulted in fatalities or serious injuries, according to state data. That’s why insurers raise your rates if you’re caught speeding: You’re statistically more likely to cause a fatal accident.
You can expect to pay an average rate of $240 for full coverage with a speeding ticket on your record. However, some insurers will offer coverage below that rate, and you can see a breakdown here of liability rates for Murfreesboro drivers with speeding tickets.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI: State Farm
A DUI conviction is a very serious offense, and your rates will surely climb if you have one on record. In some cases, insurers may cancel your policy mid-term or deny you coverage altogether. In Tennessee, a DUI stays on your motor vehicle record permanently. About 1 out of every 4 drivers with a DUI conviction will do it again, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.[3] In Tennessee, about 1 out of every 3 fatal crashes involves a drunk driver.[4]
The average cost of full-coverage car insurance in Murfreesboro for drivers with a DUI conviction is $281. This table shows the liability-only rates Murfreesboro drivers with DUIs can expect to pay from insurers in the area.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: State Farm
Middle-aged drivers typically pay less for car insurance because they have a lot of experience in navigating Tennessee roadways safely. Most insurers begin to lower rates for drivers once they reach age 25. But around age 70, rates start to increase slightly because research shows drivers may be more likely to get into an accident as they age.[5]
The average monthly cost of car insurance for seniors in Murfreesboro is $87, and you can see a collection of rates offered by area insurers here.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: State Farm
As any parent knows, most insurers charge much higher rates for teen drivers, who are more likely to get into an accident due to a combination of inexperience and unsafe driving habits. The same is true in Murfreesboro, where the average monthly rate for teen drivers is $215.
Luckily, teen drivers have a lot of ways to save money. Many insurers charge lower premiums if teens stay on their parents’ policies instead of buying a solo policy. Minor teens can't legally buy their own policies without the written consent of a parent or guardian.
Insurers also commonly offer discounts for things like getting good grades or leaving your car at home with family while you’re away at college. Buying a car with higher safety ratings can also help.
Here’s the average cost of the cheapest options for car insurance for teens in Murfreesboro.
