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.

My Experience with State Farm
Beware, some companies are more interested in making money than meeting the customers' needs. My wife had a medical issue while driving, and they covered it. A year later, there was a fender bender involving two moving vehicles. To me, it was no fault, but they considered it a second incident. We also had hail damage to our roof. They said there wasn't enough damage, yet my next-door neighbors received a new one. Now, they're canceling me for too much.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Virginia Beach
Factors such as your age, driving record, type of vehicle, and coverage options can all play a role in determining your car insurance rate. But whether you’re a new driver or looking to switch companies, you can save by applying the following strategies:
Consider higher deductibles. Opting for a higher collision and comprehensive deductible can lower your premiums, but you’ll pay more out of pocket if you need to file a claim.
Maintain a clean driving record. Avoid accidents and traffic violations that can lead to higher premiums by practicing safe driving habits.
Look for discounts. Take advantage of common discounts — such as good driver, multi-vehicle, or safety feature discounts — to reduce your insurance costs.
Bundle your policies. Bundling your car insurance with other policies, such as homeowners insurance or renters insurance, can often lead to additional discounts and overall savings.
Compare quotes. You can find the most competitive rates and coverage options by comparing quotes from different insurers.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Virginia Beach: Auto-Owners
Virginia was one of two states that let drivers prove they can financially cover damages from an at-fault accident instead of buying car insurance. Starting July 1, 2024, drivers must purchase minimum liability car insurance.
It’s important to remember that property damage and bodily injury liability coverage with a liability-only policy only pays for the other driver’s vehicle and property damage and injuries. It doesn’t cover repair costs for your vehicle or any of your medical bills due to an accident you cause.
Virginia Beach drivers pay an average of $106 per month for liability coverage, but here’s a list of the most affordable insurers in the city to start your search.

If you’re looking for more robust insurance coverage, you may choose to purchase full-coverage insurance instead. And if you’re financing or leasing your car, your lender may require you to buy full-coverage insurance no matter what. While liability-only coverage takes care of the other driver, their passengers, and their vehicle, full coverage also protects your vehicle.
The average cost of full-coverage insurance in the city is $184 per month. Here’s a list of the most affordable full-coverage insurance options in Virginia Beach.

Car insurance requirements in Virginia
If you’re looking for liability-only coverage in Virginia, you’ll need coverage that meets the state’s minimum requirements:[1]
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

$25,000 per accident
Virginia also requires insurers to include uninsured motorist coverage in all policies, but you can opt out of this coverage by notifying your insurance company in writing that you don’t want it. These are just minimum requirements. Drivers can also purchase the following add-ons to boost their car insurance coverage:
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage pays for vehicle repairs after non-collision incidents, such as severe weather damaging your car, theft, vandalism, and more.
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for car repairs after you hit a stationary object or another car, regardless of fault.
Gap coverage
Also called guaranteed asset protection, this pays the difference between your auto loan balance and insurance settlement in the event of a total loss.
Roadside assistance coverage
Roadside assistance helps cover the costs of towing, labor, and other services if your car breaks down.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Driving incidents include speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, and driving under the influence (DUI) convictions. If you have any of these incidents on your record, your rates are likely to increase for several years. Depending on the severity or frequency of such incidents, your insurer may drop you altogether.[2]
On the other hand, your insurer may lower your rates after a couple of years if you’ve had no further incidents appear on your driving history. Not all incidents are judged the same, and insurance companies generally look at DUI incidents as more severe than at-fault accidents and speeding tickets.
Below, you’ll find a collection of the most affordable insurers in Virginia Beach if you have an incident on your record.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident: State Farm
An at-fault accident will almost always result in an insurance company bumping your rates up for three to five years.

Drivers in Virginia Beach with an at-fault accident on their records pay an average of $148 per month for liability coverage. Here are the cheapest companies after an accident.

Unfortunately, regardless of how good your driving record is, car insurance rates tend to start rising around age 70. Senior drivers in Virginia Beach pay an average of $84 per month for liability coverage and $145 per month for full coverage.
Car insurance rates are higher for seniors for a couple of reasons. First, older drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident than younger adult drivers.[3] Second, the injuries seniors suffer from car accidents are often more serious, which leads to expensive medical bills and higher costs for your insurer.[4]
But that doesn’t mean you can’t find affordable car insurance in Virginia Beach as a senior driver. Start with the companies below.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Auto-Owners
Insurers typically charge teens the most for insurance. Teen drivers have the highest accident rates of any age group, and are more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors like texting while driving. Teens’ decision-making also isn’t always the best, and research shows alcohol is also a factor in many crashes involving teens.[5]
Teen drivers in Virginia Beach pay an average of $198 per month for liability coverage and $343 per month for full coverage.
But the good news is teen drivers have ways to save money on car insurance. They include staying on your parents’ car insurance, driving a safe car, and earning a good student discount. Other discounts available from insurers include good driver and accident-free discounts. It’s important to know that teens younger than 18 can’t legally get their own policies unless they have written consent from a parent or guardian.
You can also save by selecting an affordable policy to begin, and you can review the average monthly quotes presented here.

Is car insurance more expensive in Virginia Beach?
