Drivers in Arlington can expect to pay an average of $244 per month for full-coverage auto insurance and $126 for liability-only coverage. Arlington’s rates are below the state average but higher than the national averages of $199 per month for full coverage and $105 for liability.
Arlington is the third-largest city in North Texas,[1] which could contribute to its higher-than-average insurance rates. Since the city doesn’t offer public transportation, residents can’t avoid driving.
Texas requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of insurance, so it’s important to compare quotes from multiple companies to find the best rate on car insurance.
Quick Facts
State Farm, GEICO, and Allstate are the cheapest auto insurance companies for Arlington residents.
Arlington’s location between the large, bustling cities of Dallas and Fort Worth likely contributes to the city’s car insurance rates.
Police reported 6,321 accidents in Arlington in 2022, 26 of which were fatal, according to Texas Department of Transportation data.[2]

Disclaimer: Table data sourced from real-time quotes from Insurify's 50-plus partner insurance providers and quote estimates from Quadrant Information Services. Actual quotes may vary based on the policy buyer's unique driver profile.
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.

Why we picked this company
Young drivers are statistically much more likely to get into accidents than more mature drivers. In 2022, drivers younger than 25 accounted for more than half of all the accidents that occurred in Arlington.[2] Accident frequency can drive up the insurance costs for drivers younger than 25.
State Farm offers numerous discounts for young drivers. Good students can earn a 25% discount on their auto insurance, and the savings will last until they turn 25. Teen drivers can also earn a discount for completing an approved driver’s education course.

Why we picked this company
Arlington’s average monthly car insurance costs are higher than the national average. But you can save money on auto insurance by taking advantage of car insurance discounts. And GEICO offers more discounts than nearly any other insurance company.
For example, you can earn a discount for having certain safety features in your vehicle, like anti-lock brakes, airbags, and an anti-theft system. If you’ve remained accident-free for five years, you could save up to 22% on your auto insurance. And you may qualify for a discount based on where you work or certain memberships you belong to.

Good option for good drivers, seniors, and young drivers
Accident forgiveness available

Why we picked this company
Since Arlington doesn’t offer a mass transit system, most residents will need to own a car to get around. But if you work from home and spend very little time driving or are a senior who drives less frequently, you may benefit from pay-per-mile insurance like Mile Auto.
Mile Auto says low-mileage drivers can save 30% to 40% on their current insurance rates. Drivers pay a base rate and a per-mile cost every month. And the company doesn’t require you to use a tracking device in your car, so it’s a good option for drivers who are concerned about privacy.
Pros
Low-mileage drivers could save money

No discounts or bundling available

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Arlington
The best way to keep your insurance costs low is by maintaining a good driving record. Here are five other things you can do to find cheap car insurance in Arlington:
Choose a higher deductible. When you file a claim with your auto insurance company, you’ll pay an out-of-pocket deductible before your comprehensive and collision coverages kicks in.Choosing a higher full-coverage deductiblewill help you save money on your monthly premiums. Just be sure you can cover out-of-pocket costs if your vehicle is damaged.
Get a liability-only policy. If you drive an older vehicle that’s paid off, it may make sense to drop your coverage to a liability-only policy. It’s a good idea to check Kelley Blue Book to see what your car is currently worth.
Bundle your policies. Most insurers give you a discount for purchasing multiple insurance policies from them. For example, you could earn a discount forbundling your auto insurance and home insurancetogether.
Maintain a good credit score. Most insurance companies consider credit scores when reviewing you for car insurance. Maintaining good credit can help you keep your insurance costs low.
Shop around. You should receive quotes from at least three different companies before choosing an auto insurance policy. Every company has slightly different criteria they look at, so shopping around is the best way to find cheap car insurance.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: State Farm
Teenage drivers pay some of the highest rates for auto insurance due to their lack of experience behind the wheel and higher accident rates. Teen drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 have a fatal crash rate that’s nearly three times as high as drivers older than 20.[4]
Fortunately, young drivers have ways to save money on auto insurance. For example, you can stay on an insurance plan with your family, purchase a vehicle with a good safety rating, and qualify for a good student discount.
Teen car insurance costs Arlington drivers an overall average of $352 per month. But young drivers may find lower rates from State Farm, which has rates as low as $72 for liability-only coverage. Here are the cheapest coverage options for teenage drivers:

Texas is one of many states that allow insurance companies to consider credit history when determining your auto insurance rates.

Generally, people with good credit pay lower car insurance rates than people with poor credit do.
As you can see in the following chart, you’ll receive the lowest rates for insurance if you have excellent or good credit versus poor credit.

Arlington car insurance FAQs
While Arlington car insurance is cheap compared to other locations in the Lone Star State and the overall Texas average, it still makes sense to look for the best deal you can find. To help you get started, here are some answers to commonly asked questions about Texas and Arlington car insurance.
How much is car insurance in Arlington, Texas?
On average, car insurance costs $244 per month for full coverage and $126 for liability-only insurance. But the premium you actually get will depend on many other factors besides location, including your driving history, age, gender, and credit.
Who has the cheapest car insurance in Arlington?
State Farm offers the lowest car insurance rates in Arlington, starting at $39 for liability-only coverage. Arlington drivers can also find cheap rates from GEICO and Allstate, which have liability rates as low as $42 and $56, respectively.
What are the best car insurance companies in Arlington?
Many top insurers offer coverage in Arlington, but State Farm, GEICO, and Mile Auto emerge as among the best car insurance companies for drivers. Both State Farm and GEICO have IQ Scores above four (out of a possible five) and strong ratings from AM Best and J.D. Power. Mile Auto’s pay-per-mile model is an especially good choice for Arlington drivers with shorter commutes, people who work from home, and seniors who don’t drive much.
How much is car insurance in Texas per month?
Because the state is exposed to several types of severe weather and has several large cities with significant traffic, car insurance rates in Texas tend to be higher than in other states — and higher than the national average overall. Full-coverage car insurance costs a monthly average of $236 for Texans, and liability-only insurance averages $121 per month.
What’s the bare-minimum insurance required in Texas?
Texans must carry at least $30,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Additionally, all car insurance policies in Texas include personal injury protection, but you can opt out of the coverage in writing.
Keep in mind that insurance professionals commonly recommend purchasing more than a state’s minimum required coverage amounts. Higher liability limits and full coverage offer greater financial protection. For example, if you cause an accident that leaves the other driver with $60,000 in medical bills that you’re responsible for, Texas minimum coverage will only pay half that amount. You’ll be on the hook for the other $30,000.
Methodology
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 50+ 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.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
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
No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
