Senior drivers in Texas in their 60s pay an average of $100 per month for liability car insurance and $177 for full coverage. But older drivers in their 70s and 80s will likely face higher auto insurance premiums, as accident risks begin to increase.
One of the best ways to find cheap coverage as a senior driver is to compare car insurance quotes online. Here’s what you need to know about car insurance for senior drivers in Texas.
Quick Facts
Senior drivers pay lower insurance rates compared to young drivers thanks to more driving experience.
Drivers 70 and older often see insurance premiums increase because the risk of having an accident rises again with age.
Many car insurance companies offer policy discounts for senior drivers that can help you manage the cost of your auto insurance premiums.[1]

It's about the people. I use the State Farm that is 300 miles from where I live, with many State Farm agencies along the way. It's about the people. One little part-time agent kept me updated on what was going on with the insurance company. Katie started talking to me 9 weeks before I needed a new policy, and she is why I moved to State Farm and is still the reason because she is my agent.

The car insurance seems a little expensive. I wanted to have some extras with it like towing, which was a bit pricey. However, I like the fact that I could sign up with them personally without needing to provide information on my entire family, who have their own vehicle and motorcycle insurance. They are pretty much the same price as the rest, but a little on the higher range.

They Couldn't Care Less
Reviewed in Texas on March 26, 2026
The cost of a 6-month policy is the lowest I've been able to find. Every other insurer has yet to match or beat it. It came with a little more coverage than any other insurer has offered. Although they give you a discount for initiating Easy Drive, which monitors one's driving and driving habits, the app is so messed up (as in making outrageous claims of unsafe driving), I know I cannot expect them to offer to continue the discount or increase it at the end of the term when the app makes a report, or they review the driving data collected. The app is NOT trustworthy because of its flawed and erroneous assumptions. I could not believe it admonished my driving because it found an app open on my phone. "Yeah, the app Easy Drive which they insist one have open during trips," so that it can take in and record the data. Easy Drive is a joke. When I read the first report I looked at, I wondered if the report stated what it stated so that I would be found ineligible for a continued discount. After reading a couple of other reports, I am convinced this tongue-in-cheek accusation of mine to be a fact. My driving record is, after 45 years of driving, immaculate. Yet insurance companies want nearly 500 USD or more for a 6-month STATE MINIMUMS LIABILITY ONLY policy. I have proven that I am not a liability to them. When are insurers going to appreciate me for that?

If you’re driving less in retirement, Mile Auto’s pay-per-mile coverage may save you some money. Like other usage-based policies, Mile Auto’s insurance charges a low monthly base rate and a per-mile rate, so you only pay for the actual miles you drive each month. Texas is among the handful of states where coverage from Mile Auto is available.

Where you live in Texas plays a big role in what you’ll pay for senior car insurance. Location affects repair costs, accident frequency, traffic congestion, vehicle crime rates, and more.

Here’s a look at what senior drivers pay on average for auto insurance in different Texas cities.

Car insurance discounts for senior drivers in Texas
Depending on your age, driving record, and financial situation, Texas car insurance rates could become more difficult to manage for some senior drivers. Yet if you shop around, you may find that some insurers offer senior discounts that have the potential to save you money and help you find more competitive rates.
Below are some examples of car insurance discounts that might be available from different auto insurance companies.
Mature driver discount
A senior discount may be available to drivers older than 65. You might need to meet certain criteria to qualify, such as having a clean driving record or maintaining continuous insurance coverage.
Safe driver discount
People without a recent speeding ticket on their driving record or who haven’t had any at-fault accidents for a certain period of time may be eligible for this type of discount from certain insurers.
Defensive driving course discount
Some insurance companies may offer senior drivers a discount for taking a defensive driving course. But mature drivers might have to repeat the course every few years to keep their lower rates.
Military member discount
Veterans, active-duty military members, and drivers facing emergency deployment may qualify for discounts on their car insurance rates from many different insurance companies.
AARP member discount
The AARP Auto Insurance Program from The Hartford offers senior drivers discounts on auto insurance.
Low-mileage driver discount
If you’re a senior who drives limited miles, you may be able to find an insurance company that offers lower premiums for low-mileage drivers.
Bundling discount
Most insurers offer discounts when you buy more than one type of policy from them. For example, some may offer a bundling discount when you purchase your auto and home coverage from them. Some even offer savings when you bundle auto and pet insurance.
Car insurance for seniors in Texas FAQs
As a senior driver in Texas, it’s important to search for the cheapest rates and the best insurance products for your specific coverage needs. The following information can help answer your remaining questions about car insurance for seniors.
How much do senior drivers pay for car insurance in Texas?
On average, Texas seniors pay $177 per month for full coverage and $100 for liability-only policies, based on Insurify data. But your actual premium will vary based on your individual driver profile, where you live in the state, your driving record, the coverage options you choose, and more.
Why do auto insurance rates increase for seniors?
In general, drivers 70 and older have a higher risk of vehicle accidents. As a result, the average cost of car insurance rates for drivers tends to increase around this age as well. For more insight, you can speak to a licensed insurance agent.
Does the cost of car insurance go down when you retire?
Retiring won’t specifically affect your auto insurance premium, but you can save money on car insurance when you retire in a few ways.
For example, if you’re driving your vehicle less in retirement, you can search for an insurer that offers low-mileage car insurance. This type of insurance coverage might make sense for you if you don’t plan to put many miles on your vehicle after you stop working.
Which company has the cheapest car insurance for seniors in Texas?
Senior drivers in Texas may find the cheapest car insurance with State Farm. The average State Farm monthly quote for senior drivers is $41 for liability-only coverage and $84 for full coverage.
But it’s a good idea to compare rates from multiple insurance companies to make sure you find the best auto insurance and premiums for your budget. Your personal driving record, driving habits, coverage selections, deductible, car insurance discount options, and other factors can affect your premiums.
Does AARP have cheaper car insurance?
Some senior citizen drivers might save money on auto insurance by using the AARP Auto Insurance Program through The Hartford. AARP members 50 and older may qualify for a discount of up to 10% on their insurance premiums using this program.
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
- 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.
