At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.
Residents in Mesquite, Texas, pay an average of $135 per month for liability-only coverage and $243 per month for full-coverage car insurance. That’s right on par with nearby Dallas’ premiums, but higher than the Texas average and many other suburbs in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
For example, Forney has average premiums of $126 and $224 per month for liability only and full coverage, respectively. These higher premiums could be because the area has more fatal car accidents than other cities in the region, according to Texas Department of Transportation data.[1]
The city also sits just outside Dallas proper and may be a throughway for many commuters.
The cheapest car insurance company in Mesquite, Texas, is State Farm, with average premiums of $67 per month for liability insurance and $116 per month for full coverage. This is much lower than the city’s and state’s average premiums.
Texas requires all drivers to have at least $30,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person, $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 in property damage liability.[2] Because of the city’s high traffic levels and high wind and hurricane risk, though, some Mesquite drivers may prefer full coverage for peace of mind.

Cleburne, Texarkana, and Abilene are the cheapest cities for car insurance in Texas, while Houston, Fresno, and Humble are the most expensive.
Mesquite’s premiums fall just below the priciest cities and are the fifth-most expensive car insurance rates in the state. They’re slightly more expensive than nearby Rockwall. This may be because the city has a higher number of fatal accidents (and accidents in general) than many other cities.
Motor vehicle theft and thefts from motor vehicles are also on the rise, according to Mesquite crime data. See the table below for average car insurance premiums for other Texas cities.
City | Average Monthly Quote |

Pay your first week's premium and get immediate proof of insurance
Mesquite sits just on the outside of Dallas, so traffic in the area — particularly on nearby highways like Interstate 635 and Highway 80 — can be heavy.
The city’s major thoroughfares, Town East Boulevard, Military Parkway, and W. Scyene Circle, also see lots of traffic. Military Parkway sees upward of 12,000 vehicles per day, while parts of W. Scyene see more than 14,000, according to city data. Town East serves more than 25,000 cars per day. Avoiding these busier areas may help area drivers arrive faster and more safely.
Mesquite also has a growing theft problem, so being careful about your parking situation is critical. Because of the city’s high risk of wind and hurricanes, you should park your car far from trees and other debris that could pose damage in a storm. Adding comprehensive coverage to your car insurance policy can also help protect your car in the event of weather damage.
Driving history plays a big role in your car insurance premiums — in Mesquite or anywhere else you may live. People with accidents, tickets, or other violations pay higher premiums than drivers with clean driving records.
Just less than 3% of Mesquite drivers have a ticket, according to Insurify data, and nearly 4% have an accident on their record. Since Texas is an at-fault state, this may contribute to Mesquite’s higher insurance premiums.
Insurify data also shows that 0.57% of Mesquite drivers have a DUI on their record. Dallas County (and Texas in general) is fairly strict on these offenses, with penalties ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 in fines and up to 10 years in prison.[3]
Driving Record | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Clean driving record | $189 |
| Speeding ticket | $235 |
| At-fault accident | $248 |
| DUI | $259 |
Car insurance premiums can also vary by age. Teen drivers usually pay higher rates, while senior drivers with more experience pay less.
Currently, about 28% of Mesquite residents are younger than age 18, while 11% are age 65 or older, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.[4] That means a large portion of Mesquite households may need coverage for younger drivers. Because Texas allows drivers to get a learner’s permit at age 15, this can result in more teens being added to auto insurance policies.[5]
See the table below for the average insurance rates for Mesquite drivers in different age groups.
Age | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Teens | $266 |
| 20s | $180 |
| 30s | $145 |
| 40s | $137 |
| 50s | $125 |
| 60s | $114 |
| 70+ | $119 |
