Full-coverage car insurance usually costs more than minimum coverage, and that holds true in Texas, where the average cost of full coverage is $206 per month. But Texas drivers looking for cheap full coverage can find below-average rates from insurers like State Farm, Progressive, and Allstate.

Like most states, Texas only requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability insurance. Full coverage is optional. But if you lease or finance your vehicle, you’ll likely have to buy full coverage to satisfy your lender’s requirements.

Here’s what you need to know about buying full-coverage car insurance in Texas.

Quick Facts
  • Texas law requires drivers to buy 30/60/25 worth of liability coverage, but full coverage is optional.[1]

  • More than one-third of Texas drivers lease or finance their vehicles, Insurify data shows. They’ll likely need to buy full-coverage car insurance.

  • When you buy a new car insurance policy in Texas, your insurer will automatically add uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection. If you don’t want these coverages, you can decline them.

Best companies for full-coverage car insurance in Texas

The best companies for full coverage in Texas combine low rates, robust coverage options and discount opportunities, high customer satisfaction, and financial strength. No one company is right for every driver, but here are three of the best to consider in Texas.

What is full-coverage car insurance in Texas?

Full-coverage car insurance in Texas is typically a combination of three types of coverages, including:

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/a69f23e05a/healthcare-and-medical-96x96-blue_045-stethoscope.svg

    Liability insurance

    A liability-only policy helps pay for another party’s injuries and property damage after you cause an accident. But it won’t cover damage to your personal vehicle or pay for medical bills if you’re at fault.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/d7333ddf2e/car-and-driving-96x96-orange_046-car-accident.svg

    Collision insurance

    Collision insurance protects you against car damage in an accident, even if you’re responsible for it. It applies to accidents with other vehicles and objects, such as poles and guardrails.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

    Comprehensive insurance

    Comprehensive car insurance covers vehicle damage from non-collision events. You may use it after an incident such as a fire, hailstorm, theft, or vandalism.

It’s important to note that while full-coverage auto insurance provides more financial protection, it doesn’t cover every situation. You might want to explore additional coverage options or add-ons to fill in the gaps.

For example, roadside assistance may cover towing and other services during emergency situations on the road. Gap insurance can pay the difference between what you owe on your car loan or lease and the amount of your insurance payout — your vehicle’s diminished value — if you total your car. It’s up to you to determine which add-ons may make sense for your needs.

How to find cheap full-coverage car insurance in Texas

Fortunately, you can lock in affordable full-coverage auto insurance in Texas. Here are some tips to help you find cheaper auto insurance coverage in the Lone Star State.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/8329623678/money-96x96-blue_025-online-money.svg

    Compare car insurance rates

    For a great deal on full-coverage car insurance, shop around and compare all your options. It’s a good idea to get quotes from at least three different car insurance companies. As you compare them, pay attention to insurance premiums, customer service, and financial strength scores.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/d980bd9cc4/membership.svg

    Ask for discounts

    Most auto insurance companies offer discounts to policyholders. Discounts such as those for being claims-free, having safety equipment in your vehicle, or enrolling in automatic payments can lead to substantial savings.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/8055843166/car-service-96x96-orange_040-garage.svg

    Bundle policies

    If you need another type of insurance policy, such as home insurance or renters insurance, you may save money by bundling it with your full-coverage car insurance. Many car insurers reward customers who buy multiple products from them.

    illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/150x150/42a396bd18/credit-and-loan-96x96-green_033-discount.svg

    Increase your collision or comprehensive deductible

    Your deductible is the amount you have to pay out of pocket before your collision or comprehensive coverage kicks in. A higher deductible may make sense if you’d like a lower premium and can afford higher out-of-pocket costs after an accident.

    Drive safely

    Drivers with clean motor vehicle records typically get the lowest car insurance rates.[2] That’s why you should make it a priority to drive safely and avoid serious traffic violations like speeding and DUIs.

Is full-coverage car insurance worth it in Texas?

If you lease or finance your vehicle in Texas, full-coverage car insurance is worth the investment, since lenders typically require it. Even if you own your vehicle outright, full coverage can be worth it for newer or high-value vehicles.

Like most states, Texas requires drivers to have liability insurance, which pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others. But it doesn’t pay for your own medical expenses or vehicle damage. A full-coverage auto policy does.

Full-coverage car insurance in Texas FAQs

Below, you’ll find the answers to several frequently asked questions about full-coverage policies in the state of Texas.

  • Which company has the cheapest full-coverage insurance in Texas?

    State Farm has the cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Texas. Its full-coverage rates average $85 per month, Insurify data shows.

  • Is 30/60/25 full coverage in Texas?

    In Texas, 30/60/25 represents the state’s minimum liability coverage requirements, which can be a part of a full-coverage policy. The numbers stand for $30,000 in bodily injury liability per person, $60,000 in bodily injury liability per accident, and $25,000 in property damage liability. Liability insurance paired with collision and comprehensive coverages makes up a full-coverage insurance policy.

  • Is full-coverage car insurance required in Texas?

    Not legally. Texas doesn’t require drivers to carry full-coverage car insurance. But if you lease or finance your vehicle, your leasing company or lender will probably require you to buy full coverage. And even if you don’t have to buy it, full coverage is a good idea if you want greater financial protection.

  • Is Texas a no-fault state?

    No. Texas isn’t a no-fault state. Instead, it’s an at-fault or tort state. This means that the insurance of the driver who causes an accident must pay for the other party’s vehicle damages and injuries.

  • How much does full-coverage car insurance cost in Texas?

    In Texas, a full-coverage car insurance policy averages $206 per month for drivers with clean records. But some groups pay more. Texas teens face average full-coverage rates of $403 per month, while drivers with a DUI on their motor vehicle records see average monthly rates around $284.

    To lock in the cheapest car insurance coverage, shop around and compare coverage options, take advantage of discounts, and maintain a clean driving record.

  • Does Texas require uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage?

    Texas state law requires insurers to include uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on all policies, but you can opt out of it by notifying your insurer in writing. But it’s a good idea to buy the coverage if you can afford it.

    More than 8% of Texas drivers are uninsured.[3] If an uninsured driver causes an accident, uninsured motorist coverage could help pay for your damages and injuries.

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.
