Car insurance rates are rising across the country, and Texas is no exception. The average Texas driver pays $168 per month for auto insurance, according to Insurify data.
Full-coverage auto insurance costs Texans an average of $214 per month — more than the national average of $179. A liability-only insurance policy costs an average of $121 per month in Texas, compared to the national average of $101.
Texans may be paying more for car insurance because the state has a large population with multiple major cities, where rates tend to be higher. Wildfires, hurricanes, and winter storms can cause car damage that cost insurers more for claims and drive rates higher.
Fortunately, savvy insurance shoppers can usually find a few ways to save. Here’s what you need to know if you’re shopping for the best car insurance in Texas.
State Farm is one of the cheapest insurers in the state, with liability-only and full-coverage policies priced at $59 and $97 per month, respectively.
Texas is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who caused an accident is responsible for bodily injury and property damage costs. The at-fault driver’s insurance company covers the other involved parties.
Texas drivers pay an average of $2,567 per year for full-coverage car insurance.
