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.

It was a negative experience. After 15 years with the company, I was dismissed due to two car accidents on my record, both of which had been previously reported as not my fault. They refused to communicate with me afterwards. I would advise others to consider this before choosing State Farm.

A few years ago, a minor male bicyclist collided with my car, which my wife was driving at the time. She was leaving a large intersection with a green light when the bicyclist, who was riding in a pedestrian lane, appeared from behind a stopped box truck that obscured his approach. The local police department in Belmont, MA, was called and the Traffic Control Officer wrote up the accident report, clearing my wife of any responsibility. I forwarded this report to USAA. However, when I applied for increased motor vehicle insurance coverage about a year later, I was denied. USAA cited the accident with the bicyclist as a chargeable accident against my wife, despite the police report, and they had never informed us about this. I was never able to resolve this issue. Another incident occurred on December 14, 2023. I wired $60,000 to USAA for a 7-month CD and received a receipt acknowledgment. However, on the same day, the deposit was withdrawn without any direct notice to me, except for a normal monthly bank statement reflecting the withdrawal without any explanation in mid-January. It took about 9 days for USAA to resolve the issue and return the $60,000. This was a very stressful 9 days for me, and I never received an apology or explanation. Trying to reach someone with authority through numerous phone calls was literally impossible. It took a two-page business letter with 7 enclosures to get the CEO's right-hand woman to take action and return the $60,000 to my credit union. As for insurance rates, we own, register, and insure two cars that are driven about 10 miles per week on average, sometimes 100 miles on a Saturday to visit our daughter. However, it seems that we do not receive any discount for this.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Corpus Christi
You can save money on your auto insurance policy in Corpus Christi in many different ways. Here are some tips for getting the cheapest car insurance for you:
Look for discounts. Many car insurance companies offer a wide variety of discounts, which can lower your premium. For example, you might be able to save money by taking a defensive driving course, insuring multiple cars, or insuring a new car.
Bundle your policies. You can often get a cheaper car insurance premium when you bundle auto insurance with homeowners insurance or renters insurance.
Choose a high deductible. Increasing your collision or comprehensive deductible will typically lower your monthly car insurance premium. But keep in mind that setting a high deductible means you’ll get a reduced settlement if you have a claim.
Pay your premium in full. Most car insurance companies in Corpus Christi offer a small discount if you pay your annual premium up front and in full.
Maintain a clean record. Drivers with no accidents, tickets, or other moving violations usually pay the lowest prices. Maintaining a clean record will help you get the cheapest premium for your situation.

Liability car insurance covers your financial responsibilities if you cause an accident that results in bodily injury or property damage. It’ll cover only the other driver’s medical expenses if they get hurt, as well as their vehicle repairs if the car is damaged. It doesn’t cover your vehicle.

Car insurance requirements in Texas
Car insurance is a legal requirement in Texas, and all drivers must carry a minimum amount of coverage. If you own a vehicle, you must carry the required amounts of liability insurance to cover your financial responsibilities in the event of an at-fault accident.[2]
Texas is an at-fault state. In the event of an accident, this means the at-fault driver is responsible for compensating the other driver for their losses, including medical bills and vehicle damage. If you don’t have enough insurance to cover the other person’s losses, they may sue you for the difference.
Texans must carry the following amounts of auto coverage to drive legally:
When you purchase car insurance in Texas, all policies automatically include personal injury protection (PIP), and insurers need to offer you uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) too. You can opt out of both coverages in writing. You may decide to purchase these and other add-ons for greater vehicle protection.
Common insurance add-ons include the following:
Personal injury protection coverage
Personal injury protection covers the medical bills of you and your passengers following an accident, as well as lost wages and other non-medical costs.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
If a driver without sufficient coverage hits your vehicle, uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance covers your medical expenses and vehicle repairs. It also kicks in after a hit-and-run accident.
Collision coverage
Collision insurance pays for vehicle repair or replacement after an accident, regardless of fault. Collision also covers rollover accidents and damage caused by hitting a pothole.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance covers damage from non-collision incidents, including flood, fire, theft, vandalism, and more.
Medical payments coverage
Similar to PIP coverage, medical payments insurance covers the medical bills of you and your passengers after an accident. It also applies if you’re injured in someone’s car or as a pedestrian.[3]
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Drivers with an incident on their record, like a speeding ticket or an at-fault accident, usually pay more for car insurance than drivers with clean records. Having certain violations on your record can make you riskier to insure. More serious violations, like driving under the influence, typically have the biggest effect on your car insurance premium.[4]

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: State Farm
If you get pulled over for speeding, it can affect your car insurance premium. Compared to other violations, speeding tickets usually have a smaller effect. But the price increase after a speeding ticket will depend on your insurance company and the severity of your offense. Generally, a speeding ticket will affect your premium for three to five years.
The average monthly cost of full coverage for Corpus Christi drivers with speeding tickets is $324. Liability averages $176 per month. In the table below, you can see which car insurance companies in Corpus Christi are the cheapest for drivers with a speeding ticket on their record.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident: State Farm
Causing an accident makes you riskier to insure, which can affect the cost of your car insurance policy even more than a speeding ticket. Unless you pay for an endorsement like accident forgiveness, you can typically expect your insurance premium to go up for three to five years after a collision. Even if you weren’t at fault, some Texas insurance companies might raise your premium anyway.
If you have an accident on your record, it’s a good idea to shop around every year and compare quotes from several insurers. Some insurance companies have cheaper prices than others for drivers with an at-fault accident.
On average, Corpus Christi drivers with at-fault accidents face rates of $190 per month for liability coverage and $349 per month for full-coverage policies. These Corpus Christi insurance companies have the lowest average quotes for drivers with an at-fault accident.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DWI: State Farm
A DWI conviction is one of the most serious traffic violations. If you get caught driving while intoxicated, your car insurance premium will almost certainly increase significantly. Texas has serious consequences for drivers who get a DWI, including a fine of up to $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail for a first offense.[5] And in Texas, a DWI conviction stays on your record permanently, unless you’re able to have your record sealed or expunged.
In Corpus Christi, drivers with DWI convictions have average monthly car insurance premiums of $395 for full coverage and $215 for liability only.
While car insurance for drivers with a DWI is more expensive, quotes vary by insurance company. In the table below, you can see which car insurance companies in Corpus Christi are the cheapest for drivers with a DWI.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: State Farm
Your age is one of the biggest factors that can affect your car insurance premium in Texas. Rates tend to decrease around age 35 and start to increase again around age 70. That means seniors often pay higher car insurance rates than younger drivers due to increased physical vulnerabilities insurers may view as indicators of risk.
Senior drivers in Corpus Christi pay an overall average of $128 per month for car insurance. In the table below, you can see which car insurance companies in Corpus Christi have the cheapest average quotes for senior drivers.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: State Farm
Newly licensed teen drivers generally pay the most for car insurance because they have the least experience on the road. Data shows that teen drivers have higher accident rates than older drivers, and they tend to make more critical driving errors that can lead to serious crashes.[6]
Car insurance for teen drivers in Corpus Christi costs an average of $218 per month for liability-only policies and $400 for full coverage.
Although most teen drivers pay high premiums, you can still find ways to get more affordable coverage. For example, teens who stay insured on a parent’s policy usually pay less for car insurance. Additionally, many car insurance companies offer discounts that teens can qualify for, including for having good grades, attending college a certain number of miles away from home, completing a driver safety course, and insuring a new car. Teens can’t get their own car insurance policies without written consent from a parent or guardian.

Is car insurance more expensive in Corpus Christi?
Car insurance in Corpus Christi is more expensive than the nationwide average. In Corpus Christi, the average monthly rate is $228 for full coverage and $124 for liability coverage. For comparison, the U.S. national average rate is $214 per month for full coverage and $105 per month for liability coverage. On average, Texans pay $185 per month for auto coverage.
Location-specific factors, like weather risks, accident rates, and the number of uninsured drivers on the road, can influence car insurance rates in different cities and ZIP codes. Corpus Christi residents pay a bit more for coverage than drivers in other Texas cities — perhaps because the city’s location on the coast increases the risk of damages from tropical storms.

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.
