Founded in 1841 as a small trading post, Dallas is now the ninth-largest U.S. city.

I've had my current car insurance company for over 30 years. They are okay. However, now that I'm retired and their prices keep going up, the fact that they are doing away with the defensive driving discount, and they don't offer any incentives for seniors or someone who doesn't drive as much, I had no choice but to switch companies. The new company will save me about $30.00 a month.

What happened to USAA Customer Service?
Reviewed in Texas on January 29, 2026
USAA used to be a customer-oriented organization focused on providing excellent service and reasonable prices to service military personnel. Over the years, rates have gone up on auto insurance, and multi-vehicle policies are one size fits all. In other words, if you have an older car you own and a newer vehicle that is financed, USAA automatically insures both vehicles with the same coverage. I have gone in and adjusted coverages only to have them raised just before renewal. Their bundle rates aren’t bad and are competitive, but their auto coverage is still higher than many competitors. It seems they’re all about profits, a far cry from the original mission statement and focus.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Dallas

The cheapest car insurance in Dallas will look different for each driver because insurers use a number of different factors to set premium rates. It’s important to get quotes and compare rates from multiple insurance companies to find the cheapest insurance for you.

In addition to shopping around, these strategies can also help you find the cheapest car insurance in Dallas:

  • Maintain a clean driving record. Safe drivers earn the lowest insurance costs.

  • Adjust your coverage levels. You can make a number of tweaks to your insurance policy to reduce your costs, such as increasing your comprehensive or collision deductibles, dropping collision or comprehensive coverage, or decreasing your coverage limits. Just make sure you don’t lower your coverage so much that you can’t afford to cover the out-of-pocket costs after an accident.

  • Take advantage of discounts. Most insurance companies offer discounts to customers who bundle home insurance or renters insurance with their auto insurance. Other common discounts reward safe drivers and good students.

  • Improve your credit. Insurance companies in Texas can use your credit history as a factor in setting your rates. Improving your credit will save you money on car insurance, and it can improve your finances in general.

  • Shop around for the best rates. Compare costs when buying a car or renewing your policy to find the best deal. Prices vary widely between insurers, and you should get quotes from at least three companies.

Car insurance requirements in Texas

Texas is an at-fault state, which means the at-fault driver is responsible for covering the other party’s vehicle damages and medical costs.[2]

Texas requires all drivers to purchase minimum amounts of bodily injury and property damage liability coverage. To drive legally in the state, you need to purchase the following minimum coverages:[3]

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident
Property damage liability$25,000 per accident

Texas drivers don’t need to carry more than the above minimum requirements, but you should consider increasing these coverage amounts and types in case of a serious accident. Dallas drivers may want to consider the following optional coverages for more vehicle protection:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/4c9753bdbe/medical-payments.svg

    Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage

    All auto insurance policies in Texas automatically include PIP, but you can opt out of it with a written request. This kind of insurance pays for your and your passengers’ medical bills and some other expenses following an accident.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/5285c4cd74/uninsured-or-underinsured-motorist-coverage.svg

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage kicks in if you have an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. It also covers hit-and-run accidents. As with PIP coverage, all insurance policies in Texas must offer this kind of coverage, and you have to make your opt-out request in writing.

    Collision coverage

    Collision coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle following a collision with another vehicle or object, like a tree or light pole, regardless of fault. Collision insurance also covers rollover accidents and pothole damage.

    Comprehensive coverage

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident: State Farm

If you have an at-fault accident on your record, insurance companies will likely view you as a higher risk than drivers with no accidents. Depending on the severity and circumstances of the accident and your driving history, your insurer may increase your premiums or even drop you after an at-fault accident.

But accident forgiveness coverage could help hold your rates steady after your first at-fault accident. You’ll generally need to have a clean driving record for three to five years to be eligible to buy this type of coverage.

Dallas drivers with a past accident pay an average of $246 per month for coverage.

Here are average liability-only quotes from several insurers for drivers with an at-fault accident.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: State Farm

Your age affects how much you pay for car insurance. Older drivers tend to pay less for car insurance than young drivers due to safer driving habits. In most cases, premiums decrease for most drivers around age 35 and remain low for another four decades. But at around age 70, rates tend to increase again because senior drivers may experience aging-related risk factors that lead to more accidents.

The overall average cost of car insurance for senior drivers in Dallas is $159 per month. Here’s how average quotes from several different insurers vary for senior drivers.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: State Farm

Teen drivers have the highest insurance costs of any demographic, in part due to limited driving experience. But they’re also more likely to take risks on the road, which is why the youngest drivers have a higher rate of fatal crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).[5]

Even though teenagers generally pay higher rates than other drivers, you can use a few strategies to find cheap car insurance as a teenage driver. For example, teen drivers will typically pay less for coverage if they join their parents’ existing policy, drive a safe car, earn good grades to qualify for a good student discount, or attend school away from home.

Minor teens won’t be able to legally buy coverage of their own without the written consent of a parent or guardian. On average, the cost of car insurance for teen drivers in Dallas is $369 per month. Here are some of the cheapest average quotes offered to teen drivers in Dallas.

Dallas car insurance quotes by credit tier

Texas allows insurance companies to use drivers’ credit history as a factor in determining premiums. State law requires the Texas Department of Insurance to regulate how insurers use credit. This oversight protects consumers in Texas with several important rules:

  • Insurers can’t use credit as the only factor in setting insurance rates.

  • Consumers have the right to know what scoring system a company uses.

  • Companies must tell consumers how to dispute inaccurate credit information.[6]

Even with these protections in place, credit history can affect how much drivers in Dallas pay for auto insurance. Drivers with good or excellent credit generally pay lower rates than people with poor credit.

Here are the average monthly quotes for full-coverage auto insurance in Dallas by credit tier.
