McAllen has lower average car insurance rates than other cities in Texas, and lower rates than the state's overall averages. Drivers in McAllen pay an overall average of $177 per month for car insurance, and the Lone Star State average is $163.

The city's low fatality rate – less than half a percent of all 2022 crashes were fatal[1] – likely contributes to its lower car insurance costs. But, just because McAllen's rates are lower than the average, that doesn’t mean you can’t pay a little, or even a lot, less.

Some insurance companies, like State Farm and Mile Auto, consistently offer below-average rates to qualified drivers. In other cases, you might be able to reduce your rates based on the choices you make and by comparing quotes from multiple companies. Here’s how.

Quick Facts
  • State Farm, Mile Auto, and Progressive offer the cheapest car insurance for McAllen drivers.

  • The average cost of a full-coverage car insurance policy in McAllen is $217 per month, while liability-only policies average $137 monthly.

  • Texas state law allows insurers to consider your credit history when setting your car insurance rate.

3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in McAllen

The perfect insurance policy for you depends on your needs, but the rate you pay for that policy depends on your age, ZIP code, gender, marital status, type of vehicle you drive, your driving record, and more.

Each car insurance company will evaluate the different factors of your life differently, and that can lead to significantly different rates. Fortunately, comparing quotes can help you lock in the most affordable option.

Below is a closer look at some of the best car insurance companies in McAllen so you can jump-start your search.

  • 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 55,000 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.

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.

Why we picked this company

More than 25% of McAllen residents are foreign-born. For some, that could mean you’re more comfortable talking over the details of your auto insurance policy in your primary language. If you’re looking for Spanish-speaking customer support, for example, GEICO has it. You can give GEICO a call for customer service and expect an agent to offer service in Spanish or English.

  • Many discount opportunities

  • Accident forgiveness available

Cons
  • Below-average customer satisfaction rating

  • No rideshare coverage

How to get the cheapest car insurance in McAllen

You must have insurance to drive legally in Texas, but that doesn’t mean you have to overpay. You can reduce your car insurance expenses with these strategies:

  • Shop around. Every car insurance company has a slightly different method of determining premiums. If you compare quotes from multiple insurance companies, you can find out which company offers the lowest rate for your situation.

  • Ask for a discount. Many car insurance companies offer discount opportunities for safe driving, being a good student, and more. It’s worth asking to see if you qualify for any discounts your insurer may have.

  • Raise your deductible. A higher deductible usually leads to lower car insurance premiums. If you can afford the cost of the new deductible, then this change might make sense.

  • Bundle policies. Consolidating your home (or renters) insurance and auto policy with one company could give you a discount of 5% or more.

  • Stick with minimum coverage. Although minimum coverage doesn’t offer robust financial protection, it’s usually the cheapest option. If you’re comfortable with liability-only coverage, you might find cheaper insurance premiums.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in McAllen: State Farm

Liability car insurance is designed to cover the cost of the damages you cause to others during an accident that was your fault. For example, this type of insurance policy might pay to repair the other driver’s vehicle or cover their medical bills.

In general, a liability-only policy is the cheapest option because the insurance company won’t help you repair or replace your own vehicle. But liability-only coverage typically makes the most sense for drivers with older, less-expensive vehicles that are paid off.

The average rate for liability coverage in McAllen is $137, and you can see a collection of average monthly quotes from area insurers below.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in McAllen: State Farm

Though more expensive than a liability-only police, a full-coverage car insurance policy provides the protections of liability coverage but also includes comprehensive and collision coverages. After an accident, collision coverage will help repair or replace your vehicle. And if your car is the victim of another kind of incident, like a fallen tree or theft, comprehensive coverage will help you get back on the road.

If you used a loan to finance your vehicle, or you lease it, your lender or leasing company will require you to carry full coverage until the loan is paid.

This more robust coverage is generally more expensive than liability-only coverage, and the average rate for full coverage in McAllen is $217.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Comprehensive coverage

    If something other than a collision damages your vehicle, like a hailstorm or vandalism, comprehensive coverage will help you pay for repairs.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    This pays for your damages if you’re hit by an uninsured driver, or if their auto insurance coverage isn’t enough to fully cover the damage they caused.

    Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage

    This pays for medical bills, lost income, and a few other things if you or your passengers are injured in an accident. All Texas auto policies include this coverage by default. If you don’t want it, you have to opt out in writing.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: State Farm

Most insurance companies look at your age when determining premiums. And generally, the more experience you have behind the wheel, the more affordable your car insurance costs.

After paying high rates in their teens, drivers usually see those rates decline in their 30s, and this downward trend lasts for decades. However, around age 75, car insurance costs usually start to increase again. This is because drivers of this age and older generally have reduced faculties and are more likely to be seriously injured if they’re in an accident.

Senior drivers in McAllen pay a monthly average of $184 for full coverage and $116 for liability-only car insurance. The overall average cost of car insurance for seniors in McAllen is $150 per month, but you may be able to reduce your rates by shopping around.

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.
