El Paso drivers can find the cheapest rates from State Farm, Progressive, and Mile Auto.
Car insurance rates in El Paso are typically lower than the Texas state average.
El Paso has a lower average commute time than other Texas cities, at just 24 minutes.
The average monthly cost for state-minimum auto insurance in El Paso, TX, is $97. Full-coverage policies cost an average of $194 per month. That’s lower than the Texas average insurance cost of $110 per month for liability-only coverage and $204 per month for full-coverage insurance.
Several factors make El Paso’s car insurance rates comparatively cheap.
Vehicle theft in El Paso is lower than in larger metro areas, like Dallas or Harris County. Its position at the westernmost tip of Texas, near the New Mexico border, means El Paso doesn’t experience the kind of severe weather patterns that Texas cities on the Gulf Coast see. And El Paso County has a lower crash rate than most other Texas counties.
The following table compares car insurance costs in Texas with the El Paso average.

| El Paso average | $146 |
| Texas average | $157 |
Rates start at just $43/mo. for minimum coverage

People in El Paso typically drive an average of 9,119 miles annually, which is less than the national average of 13,476 miles.[1] The city has some unique driving considerations to keep in mind, including:
Congestion: El Paso County is home to three of the 100 most congested roads in Texas, according to 2025 data from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). These roads are Montana Avenue, CanAm Highway, and Gateway Boulevard.
Construction: TxDOT is currently improving Artcraft Road between the New Mexico state line and I-10. The state also plans to widen a six-mile stretch of I-10 in the coming years. These and other projects could increase the likelihood of accidents.
Uninsured drivers: Approximately 14.5% of Texas drivers are uninsured, according to Insurify data. This may push up your car insurance premiums in El Paso.
Weather risks: Although hurricanes generally aren’t a problem in El Paso, the city has other natural hazards drivers should be wary of, including flash flooding, high winds, tornadoes, and severe thunderstorms.[2]
Data shows that El Paso County had 1,066 vehicle thefts in the first two quarters of 2025, the 56th-highest in the nation. Compared to other cities its size, El Paso’s rate of vehicle theft is moderate.

El Paso traffic is relatively light compared to that in bigger cities, which can lead to lower insurance rates. The average commute time in 2024 was just over 24 minutes, compared to the Texas average of 26.6 minutes and the Harris County (Houston) average of 29 minutes.[3]
El Paso does have congestion, especially on Montana Avenue from Global Reach Drive to Joe Battle Boulevard. But compared to larger cities, El Paso’s congestion is light.
Traffic can be heavier when the University of Texas at El Paso and Texas Tech Health El Paso are in session. Although El Paso isn’t a large college town, the presence of students can increase traffic.
