Disclaimer: Table data sourced from real-time quotes from Insurify's 50-plus partner insurance providers. Actual quotes may vary based on the policy buyer's unique driver profile.
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 Norfolk
You can’t immediately control all the factors that influence car insurance costs, but you can use the following tips to earn cheaper car insurance in Norfolk:
Increase your deductible. Your collision and comprehensive deductible is how much you need to pay out of pocket before your insurer kicks in to cover the rest of the claim. Increasing your deductible typically leads to lower premiums.
Shop around and compare quotes. Insurance rates can vary considerably between insurers due to each company’s underwriting criteria and methods of risk assessment. Requesting quotes from multiple insurers can help you find the best rates and coverage.
Make annual payments. Paying your insurance once a year instead of monthly may qualify you for a “pay-in-full” discount from your insurer. This can be an easy way to save money if you can swing the up-front payment.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Norfolk: Auto-Owners
If you cause a car accident, liability insurance helps cover the other driver’s medical expenses and vehicle repairs. It doesn’t cover any of your expenses from the accident, but it does cover legal fees if the other driver sues you.[4]
Though Virginia requires liability insurance for drivers, the minimum limits may not provide sufficient coverage in the event of an accident. Many drivers increase their liability coverage limits to minimize the risk of out-of-pocket expenses after an accident.
Norfolk drivers pay an average of $125 per month for liability coverage, but here are some of the cheapest options for liability-only car insurance in the city.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Norfolk: Auto-Owners
Full-coverage insurance refers to an auto policy that includes comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, and liability insurance. This policy type extends protection to your vehicle following a car accident or non-collision incident.
Unlike liability insurance, full coverage is generally optional. But if you finance or lease a vehicle, the lender will probably require you to carry a full-coverage policy.
Norfolk drivers pay an average of $211 per month for full coverage. Here are some of the cheapest full-coverage auto insurance options in Norfolk.

Car insurance requirements in Virginia
In Virginia, drivers must obtain minimum amounts of bodily injury and property damage liability coverage. The minimum limits for liability coverage will increase for policies that start in 2025. You can see the current and future requirements below.[3]
Coverage Type
▲▼
2024 Coverage Limits
▲▼
2025 Coverage Limits
▲▼
Bodily injury liability
$30,000 per person / $60,000 per accident
$50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$20,000 per accident
$25,000 per accident
In addition to the state’s minimum coverage, you should consider the following coverage options for more vehicle protection:
Collision coverage
If a collision causes damage to your vehicle, collision insurance helps pay repair or replacement costs. It applies regardless of who caused the accident, or whether you collide with another vehicle or a stationary object like a tree or light pole. Collision also covers rollover accidents and damage from hitting a pothole.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance kicks in to cover your vehicle damage following a non-collision incident, including severe weather, theft, vandalism, fire, cracked windshields, or falling objects.
Gap coverage
If someone steals your car or you total your vehicle, gap insurance pays the difference between your vehicle’s value and the amount you owe on your loan or lease.
Roadside assistance coverage
Roadside assistance coverage provides various services to drivers who get stranded on the road. Common services include tows, fuel delivery, jump-starts, and flat-tire assistance.
Accident forgiveness
If you buy accident forgiveness coverage before getting into an accident, your insurer won't increase your rates when it's time to renew your policy. Insurify data shows that an at-fault accident can increase car insurance rates by 26% or more.
Virginia Automobile Insurance Plan
The Virginia Automobile Insurance Plan (VAIP) helps provide car insurance to high-risk drivers who have struggled to buy coverage on the regular car insurance market.
Eligibility for VAIP requires a valid Virginia driver’s license and a vehicle registered in the state. These plans tend to cost more than private insurance plans, so drivers typically turn here as a last option.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Incidents on your record can signal to an insurer that you pose a greater risk to insure, so they may adjust your premium accordingly. The severity and frequency of your incidents can also affect your premium for several years.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Auto-Owners
Age is a major factor insurers look at when determining car insurance rates. Drivers between the ages of 25 and 70 tend to benefit from decreasing rates due to years of experience behind the wheel. Insurers may offer a discount to drivers older than 55 if they successfully complete a defensive driving course approved by the DMV. Ask your insurance agent for more information.
Drivers older than 70 might start to face slightly increased rates due to an increased risk of accidents. On average, senior drivers in Norfolk pay $133 per month for car insurance.
Here are some of the cheapest auto insurance quotes for senior drivers in Norfolk.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Auto-Owners
Teen drivers have the highest crash risk of any age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[8] This, along with a lack of driving experience, contributes to insurers charging higher car insurance rates. Insurance companies can’t deny teens coverage solely based on their age, but they can charge higher premiums.
Norfolk teenagers pay $314 per month for car insurance, on average. Your teen can earn cheaper insurance in Norfolk by maintaining good grades to qualify for a good student discount, joining your existing auto insurance plan, and avoiding driving at night. Legally, teens younger than 18 can’t buy their own car insurance policy unless they have written consent from a parent or guardian.
Here are some of the cheapest monthly quotes for Norfolk teens covered under their own policies.
The below rates are estimated rates current as of: Wednesday, January 1 at 11:00 AM PST.
