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.

Average cost of car insurance in Plano, TX
Drivers in Plano pay an average of $116 per month for minimum liability coverage and $204 per month for a full-coverage auto insurance policy, according to Insurify data. That’s less than drivers pay in nearby traffic-ridden Dallas — $125 per month and $235 per month — but slightly more than in some of the less affluent Texas suburbs, like Lewisville ($109 and $194, respectively).
Cheapest Plano car insurance by coverage level
State Farm offers the lowest average rates in Plano. A liability-only insurance policy from State Farm costs just $43 per month. That’s good news because Plano residents typically pay higher car insurance rates than the Texas state average for minimum coverage.
Liability insurance typically costs Plano residents about $116 per month, compared to $111 statewide in Texas.
The cheapest insurer in Plano for full coverage is State Farm, with an average monthly rate of $85. Full-coverage insurance, which 38% of residents must purchase due to lender requirements, typically costs slightly less per month than the Texas average, though: $204 in Plano versus $207 statewide.[1]

Average car insurance rates in other TX cities
Plano residents pay relatively average rates for insurance coverage when compared to other Texas cities.
Abilene residents pay monthly averages of $82 for liability coverage and $176 for full coverage. This is likely due to factors like shorter daily drive times. Houston residents, on the other hand, pay the highest rates in the state, at $157 per month for minimum coverage and $270 per month for full coverage. This is likely due to higher accident rates, more traffic congestion, and hurricane danger.
Here, you can see how Plano compares to other Texas cities.

Tips for driving in Plano
Plano drivers have a fairly safe driving experience. Eight out of 10 drivers reported feeling “very safe” or “somewhat safe” on Plano roads during the daytime in 2024, per a local police report.[2]
The data backs that up, too. In 2023, fatal accident rates were three times higher statewide than in Plano.[3] Motor vehicle theft is also much rarer in Plano, with theft rates also about three times higher statewide than for Plano residents.[4]
Even so, driving through some parts of Plano carries more risk than in others. Here are the top three most dangerous intersections in Plano, along with how many crashes the city recorded there in 2022:[5]
Coit Road and West Spring Creek Parkway: 21 crashes
Dallas Parkway Southbound and Legacy Drive: 20 crashes
State Highway 121 Eastbound and West Spring Creek Parkway: 20 crashes
If you drive through these areas frequently, it’s a good idea to be extra cautious at these intersections. And if you’re worried about getting into an accident, it may be worth considering other coverage options, like collision coverage or uninsured motorist coverage.
Car insurance quotes in Plano by driving record
Plano drivers tend to play it safe, in general, but it’s still not uncommon to have blemishes on your driving record that increase your auto coverage costs. Citywide, just more than 3% of drivers have a ticket on their record, a little over 5% have an at-fault car accident, and 0.6% have a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, according to Insurify data.
Here, you can see how average rates fluctuate in Plano based on your driving record.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Clean driving record | $160 |
| Speeding ticket | $201 |
| At-fault accident | $213 |
| DUI | $221 |
Plano car insurance rates by age
Residents of Plano skew a little on the older side, compared to Texas as a whole. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Plano also has fewer young people than most other Texas cities. Insurers often offer discounts for senior drivers and for teen drivers alike, but car insurance rates are often higher for these two groups, as you can see below.
Age | Average Monthly Quote |
|---|---|
| Teens | $244 |
| 20s | $166 |
| 30s | $133 |
| 40s | $126 |
| 50s | $115 |

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.

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
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
