Insurance Company | IQ Score The Insurify Quality (IQ) Score uses more than 15 criteria to objectively rate insurance companies on a one-to-ten scale. The Insurify editorial team researches insurer data to determine the final scores. | Average Quote: Full Coverage | Average Quote: Liability Only | Best For |
---|---|---|---|---|
Allstate | 8.9 | $105 | $58 | Pay-per-mile coverage |

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.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in San Antonio
Here are some tips to help you find cheap car insurance in the Alamo City:[2]
Maintain a good driving record.
Carry a higher deductible.
Don’t over-insure if you have an older vehicle.
Get multiple quotes.
Attaining three or more quotes from different insurers is a great way to compare plans — and premiums — against one another to find the policy that works best for you.
Car insurance requirements in Texas
Texas is an at-fault (or tort) state. This means the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying damages to the other party in the crash.
Texas also requires all drivers to carry car insurance, and your coverage must meet these legal minimum requirements:[3]
Coverage | Minimum Requirements |
---|---|
Bodily injury liability | $30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident |
Property damage liability | $25,000 |
Remember that carrying only the minimum amount of car insurance can be very costly if you cause a multi-vehicle accident or the other driver’s car is totaled.
Insurance professionals recommend that you consider adding these optional coverages:
Collision coverage
Collision insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle after a collision with another vehicle, or an object like a tree, fence, or light pole. It also provides coverage for rollover accidents and pothole damage.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance provides coverage if your car is stolen, vandalized, or damaged by fire, flood, or something other than a collision.
Medical payments
Medical payments coverage pays your and your passengers’ medical bills or if you’re hurt while being a passenger in someone else’s car.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
Personal injury protection covers medical payments, lost wages, and other non-medical costs.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage pays if you’re involved in an accident with someone without car insurance or the other party doesn’t have enough coverage to pay your medical and repair bills. It also covers hit-and-run incidents. Texas law requires insurers to offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage by default, but you can decline the coverage in writing.
Roadside assistance coverage
Roadside assistance coverage pays to have your car towed if it’s undrivable.
Rental reimbursement coverage
This pays car rental costs if your car is stolen or being repaired after an accident.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
When you leave your home or office, the last thing you want is to be involved in a driving incident, such as:
A DWI
Other moving violations, such as failure to yield or running a stop sign
Unfortunately, if an incident happens while you’re driving, you’ll likely see your car insurance rates increase.
In San Antonio, for example, your liability-only rates will increase from $62 to $84 per month with State Farm if you have a speeding ticket.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: State Farm
Speed is a main factor in many auto injuries and deaths, so insurance companies typically raise your rates if you’re issued a speeding ticket. In addition, the more tickets you accumulate, the higher your rates will climb. Driving the speed limit and avoiding tickets will not only keep your rates lower; in some cases, it could earn you a discount.
San Antonio drivers with speeding tickets pay average monthly car insurance rates of $314 for full coverage and $168 for liability-only policies. The following table shows monthly quotes for San Antonio drivers with speeding tickets.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: State Farm
Although seniors typically drive fewer miles than younger drivers, their rates start to increase as they age. While car insurance rates begin to drop when a driver turns 25, they increase for senior drivers in their 70s and 80s. Slower reflexes and vision and hearing impairments are often cited as reasons seniors are involved in more accidents, which reflects the rate increase.[4]
Car insurance for senior drivers in San Antonio averages $185 per month for full coverage and $99 for liability coverage. Fortunately, many insurers in the San Antonio area still offer affordable liability-only coverage for senior drivers, as you can see from the monthly averages in the table below.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: State Farm
Insurers consider teen drivers to be a higher risk than adults due to their inexperience and tendency to be more distracted while driving. If you’re a young driver, you can lower your insurance costs by staying on your parents’ car insurance policy, getting a safer car, earning a good student discount (“B” average or better), or a student-away-at-college discount.
Minor teens can’t buy a car insurance policy without the written consent of a parent or guardian. In San Antonio, car insurance for teen drivers costs a monthly average of $450 for full coverage and $241 for liability coverage. The following table shows monthly rates for teen drivers from top insurance companies in San Antonio.
