Average cost of Subaru insurance by state
Location has a big effect on your car insurance premiums, with drivers in some U.S. states paying significantly more for car insurance. For auto insurance companies, location is connected to risk and various state laws, which can each affect your premiums.[3]
Even drivers in different ZIP codes within the same state can face vastly different insurance premiums. For example, drivers in a ZIP code with high population density might pay more for car insurance due to higher accident risk.
Of course, location isn’t the only factor. Insurers also consider your driving profile, driving history, your insurance history, and more when determining rates.
The following table shows how the average costs to insure a Subaru vary by state. Data isn’t available for Alaska and Hawaii.

How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Subaru WRX
When selecting an insurance policy for your Subaru WRX, getting the right coverage matters. As you explore your coverage options, keep the following coverage types in mind:[4]
Liability coverage
Most states require drivers to carry a minimum amount of bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage. In order to legally drive, you’ll need to buy a policy with at least the minimum amount of coverage. For some drivers, it’s appropriate to buy additional coverage.
Collision coverage
Collision insurance helps to pay to repair your own vehicle after an accident.
Comprehensive coverage
If something other than a collision damages your vehicle, comprehensive coverage helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle. Common covered events include natural disasters, vandalism, and theft.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
When an uninsured driver damages your vehicle, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage helps to pay for the repair costs.
While a minimum-coverage policy is typically the most affordable option, opting for more robust coverage levels could better protect your wallet in the long run. Depending on your situation, paying the full-coverage rate could be worth it.
In order to keep your insurance costs as low as possible, comparison shop to find car insurance quotes across different companies. Additionally, find out if you qualify for any discounts and consider raising your deductible to lock in a lower premium.
