One of the most historic U.S. states, Virginia is home to portions of the Chesapeake Bay, Appalachian Mountains, and Atlantic coastline. The overall average monthly cost for car insurance in Virginia is $133, which is less than the national average of $160. And, Virginians pay less than drivers in Washington, D.C., where the overall monthly average rate is $153.
Of the employed residents commuting to work in or outside of Virginia, 76.7% of them drive alone. And on average, Virginia drivers travel 40.9 miles per day in their vehicles, whereas drivers in the U.S. overall travel just 36.1 miles per day.[1] The commonality of commuting in Virginia may result in higher average rates in the state.

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 28,000 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.

Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage.

Abandoned by State Farm
It was a negative experience. After 15 years with the company, I was dismissed due to two car accidents on my record, both of which had been previously reported as not my fault. They refused to communicate with me afterwards. I would advise others to consider this before choosing State Farm.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Virginia
Various factors affect your car insurance rates, including your driving record, age, credit history, location, and more. But you can lower the cost of coverage in a few different ways:[2]
Bundle your policies. If you need different types of insurance coverage, like auto and home, you can typically save money by getting both from the same insurer.
Utilize insurance discounts. Most companies offer a number of insurance discounts that reward safe driving, customer loyalty, and more.
Increase your deductible. Your collision and comprehensive deductible is the amount you need to pay out of pocket when you file a claim. A higher deductible usually results in a lower premium.
Shop around. The age, safety features, and type of vehicle you own influence how much you pay for car insurance. Shop for quotes before you buy a car to secure the best rates.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Virginia: Auto-Owners
Like most states, Virginia mandates liability car insurance. If you cause an accident, this insurance typically covers the costs of medical expenses and vehicle repairs for the other driver. It won’t cover the costs of any of your bodily injuries or property damage.[3] This coverage typically makes the most sense for drivers of older or inexpensive vehicles with lots of mileage.
The average cost for this coverage in Virginia is $94 per month. The following insurers offer the cheapest liability-only quotes in Virginia.
The below rates are estimated rates current as of: Monday, July 1 at 12:00 PM PDT.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Virginia: Auto-Owners
Full-coverage car insurance offers you more vehicle protection. Specifics vary by insurer, but the policies typically include liability, comprehensive, and collision coverages. Comprehensive coverage kicks in for damages from non-collision incidents, like fire, severe weather, car theft, and vandalism.[4]
Virginia drivers pay, on average, $172 per month for full coverage. The following insurers offer some of the cheapest quotes for Virginia drivers.

Car insurance requirements in Virginia
Virginia is an at-fault state, which means that the driver who causes an accident is responsible for paying the claims. Drivers in Virginia must have a minimum amount of bodily injury liability, property damage liability, and underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage to drive — the latter of which provides financial protection if the other driver doesn’t have coverage.
Previously, Virginia allowed drivers to forgo car insurance if they paid a $500 uninsured vehicle fee. However, beginning July 1, 2024, all drivers in Virginia will have to purchase an insurance policy that meets the state's minimum requirements. The following minimum requirements for Virginia drivers are effective through the end of 2024. Starting in 2025, the minimum coverage requirements will increase.[5]
Coverage
Minimum Requirements
Bodily injury liability
$30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$20,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
$30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured property damage coverage
$20,000 per accident
Though you only need to purchase the minimum coverage requirements, it’s often a good idea to add more coverage to protect your vehicle and finances.
“I’d never recommend state minimum limits. It typically isn’t a huge price difference to increase those coverages, and it significantly helps protect your assets in case of an accident,” says Dominic Frey, an insurance professional with Hitchings Insurance Agency. “You don’t want to cause a claim and then get sued because your policy didn’t pay out enough.”
If you want additional financial protection, you can consider the following optional policies:
Comprehensive coverage
If your car is damaged in a non-collision incident, like vandalism, severe weather, theft, or fire, comprehensive coverage kicks in.
Collision coverage
This policy covers the cost of repairs for your vehicle after an auto accident, regardless of fault. It can also pay for collision with objects, such as a tree, fence, or light pole. And, it covers rollover accidents.
Medical payments coverage
Following an injury from an accident, this coverage can pay for some of your medical expenses.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Your driving record affects your car insurance rates. Insurance companies may classify you as a high-risk driver with a greater likelihood of filing a claim if you have certain driving incidents on your record. Incidents that can increase your rates include driving under the influence (DUI), speeding tickets, and at-fault accidents.[6]
To find the best deal, drivers should always compare quotes from multiple insurance companies.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: Auto-Owners
If you get a speeding ticket, your car insurance premium will likely increase. Having only one speeding ticket likely won’t increase it too much. Virginia drivers can still find competitive rates after a speeding ticket.
The cheapest insurance company for drivers with a speeding ticket is Auto-Owners, with monthly liability rates averaging $49.
The following insurers offer the cheapest average monthly quotes for Virginia drivers with a speeding ticket.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident: Auto-Owners
If you cause an auto accident, insurance companies will typically increase your car insurance premium. Most car insurers consider the previous three to five years of your driving record when determining rates, so your car accident can affect your premium during that time.[7] And if you have at least three years with a clean driving record, you may qualify for accident forgiveness coverage, which ensures your rates won't rise after your first at-fault accident.
An at-fault accident in the commonwealth pushes overall average rates from $133 per month to $190. In Virginia, the following insurers offer the cheapest car insurance quotes for drivers with an at-fault accident.
The below rates are estimated rates current as of: Monday, July 1 at 12:00 PM PDT.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI: Auto-Owners
Driving under the influence is a serious violation that can significantly affect your car insurance rates and even lead to non-renewal of your current coverage. Because of that, you might need to consult with multiple insurers to find a competitive rate.
Virginia drivers with a DUI pay, on average, $280 for full coverage and $153 for liability-only insurance. Consider the following insurance companies if you have a DUI and want coverage in Virginia.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Auto-Owners
Your age influences what you pay for car insurance and fluctuates throughout your life. Teenage drivers typically pay the highest premiums, but costs tend to decrease steadily for drivers between 35 and 70.
Most drivers earn the lowest premiums around retirement age due to years of experience and safer driving habits. But around the age of 70, the price of car insurance for seniors increases a bit to correspond with increased risk factors associated with aging.[8]
On average, car insurance for senior drivers costs $69 per month for liability coverage and $126 for full coverage in the commonwealth. And the cheapest insurance company for seniors is Auto-Owners, with liability-only rates averaging $28 per month.
The following insurers offer the best monthly quotes for senior drivers in Virginia.
The below rates are estimated rates current as of: Monday, July 1 at 12:00 PM PDT.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Auto-Owners
Due to inexperience behind the wheel, unsafe driving habits, and a greater likelihood of speeding or at-fault accidents, teens are one of the riskiest and most expensive groups to cover. Because of that, teenagers typically face the highest auto insurance rates.[9]
You can take steps to reduce the costs by setting your teen up on your car insurance plan for as long as possible, choosing a safe vehicle for them to drive, and checking if your teen qualifies for a good student discount.
Teen car insurance in Virginia costs an average of $307 per month for full coverage and $168 for a liability-only policy. Auto-Owners is the cheapest car insurance company for teen drivers, averaging $65 per month for liability-only coverage.
