Agent Tip: Is liability-only coverage enough for protection?

Mallory Mooney

Mallory Mooney

Director of Sales and Service

Liability-only insurance in Texas keeps you legal on the road. But it usually isn’t enough to protect you financially if you’re at fault in an accident and cause significant damages. Consider buying higher liability amounts for more protection.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Texas: State Farm

Full-coverage insurance in Texas includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage. That means your policy will protect your vehicle in an accident or in non-collision events, such as theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.

The average cost of full coverage is $208 per month in Texas, and you can find the cheapest rates with State Farm. Below are quotes for cheap full-coverage car insurance in Texas.

Insurify Car: One-week car insurance for Texas drivers

Some Texas drivers may be looking to buy temporary car insurance coverage. The shortest policy you can buy is usually for six months, with a monthly payment schedule. But if you don’t need long-term insurance, or can’t afford large payments, weekly payments could be an option.

Insurify Car offers liability-only car insurance that lets you pay for coverage one week at a time, rather than committing to large monthly payments. You can buy your coverage, get immediate proof of insurance, pay weekly, and cancel whenever you want.

Best cheap car insurance companies in Texas

Plenty of national car insurance companies sell coverage in Kentucky. But you can often find competitive rates and great coverage from smaller, regional insurers as well as big companies.

State Farm is both the biggest insurer in the country and the largest in Kentucky. But Kentucky Farm Bureau, which only sells policies in the Bluegrass State, is the second-largest.

The best car insurance companies in Kentucky provide affordable coverage despite the state’s higher-than-average premiums. These insurers also offer a variety of auto policies and strong financial strength ratings.

Taking Full Advantage of a Loyal Customer
Reviewed in Texas on February 21, 2026
My current insurer is Allstate. I had an unfortunate year in 2024. A dog ran in front of us and did major damage to our front end. A few short weeks later, an 18-wheeler blew a rear dual tire that hit our Jeep and caused us to spin and slam into a guardrail. Neither accident was our fault nor could they be avoided. The consequence was that our premiums have almost tripled and continue to rise. They know it will be difficult for us to change policies. Our credit rating is not exceptional due to a limited income and the huge rise in premiums and other bills. As soon as I can change insurance carriers, I will. No customer loyalty. I had never missed a premium.

How car insurance costs in Texas have changed

Auto insurance costs in Texas climbed sharply in 2024 due to factors like weather events, increased car accidents, and higher repair costs, according to the Office of Public Insurance Counsel.

Rates stabilized in 2025, with the average car insurance premium in Texas reaching about $2,470 per year, according to Insurify’s car insurance report. Insurify projects that this trend will continue, with only a slight 0.3% increase, bringing annual premiums to $2,477 by the end of 2026.

“One sneaky weather factor is hail, which leads to costly repairs for car exteriors and puts upward pressure on full-coverage rates,” says Matt Brannon, senior economic analyst at Insurify. “Texas has led the nation in hail events in recent years, and the average hail claim is about 22% more expensive than the average comprehensive claim.”

Texas car insurance requirements

Texas law requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability insurance — often called 30/60/25 coverage — to legally drive in the state.[2] Liability coverage pays for the other driver’s injuries and property damage if you cause an accident.

Texas car insurance requirements include these property damage and bodily injury liability coverage limits:

Coverage Type
sort ascsort desc
Texas Requirement
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury$30,000 per person/$60,000 per accident
Property damage$25,000

Texas uses TexasSure, an electronic verification system that checks whether registered vehicles carry active insurance.[3] You must show proof of coverage during traffic stops and when you register or renew your vehicle.

Insurers legally must offer personal injury protection and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in Texas when selling you a policy, but you can decline it in writing.

If you do get into an accident, Texas is an at-fault state, which means claims go through the at-fault driver’s insurance.[4]

Car insurance rates across Texas cities

Insurance costs can vary widely across Texas cities. For example, drivers living in El Paso or Grapevine may pay much lower premiums than drivers in Houston or Dallas.

You can compare affordable car insurance in Texas across multiple cities below.

Texas car insurance FAQs

If you’re shopping for car insurance in Texas, the additional information below can help as you research policies and coverage options.

  • Which company has the cheapest car insurance in Texas?

    State Farm has the cheapest car insurance in Texas, according to Insurify data, with an average monthly premium of $57.

  • Is GEICO or Progressive cheaper in Texas?

    Progressive is cheaper in Texas, though the insurers have similar costs. Progressive’s monthly liability rate averages $82, and a liability policy with GEICO averages $94 per month.

    Texas requires drivers to meet these minimum insurance requirements: $30,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, $60,000 in bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 in property damage coverage per accident.

  • Does credit score affect car insurance in Texas?

    Your credit history can affect your car insurance in the Lone Star State. Texas insurance companies can consider your credit-based insurance score when setting rates. This score tells them how likely you are to file a claim, so if you have bad credit, you may pay higher rates.

  • How can you lower your car insurance in Texas?

    You can do several things to lower your car insurance costs in Texas, including comparing quotes from multiple insurers, increasing your deductible amount, enrolling in a telematics program, and asking your insurer which discounts you qualify for.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 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 500+ 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.
