Insurance requirements by state
Every state sets its own minimums. Start with yours.
All 50 states & DC →Average rates by state
Full-coverage premiums swing hard from one state to the next, from about $926 a year in Maine to roughly $1,994 in Florida, per NAIC data (verified July 2026). Where you live is one of the biggest levers on price, so it pays to see your state's numbers before you shop.
Fair questions
Why do rates differ so much between carriers?
Each carrier weighs your driving record, your vehicle, your coverage choices, and where you live with its own formula. The same driver can get meaningfully different prices from different companies. That is the whole reason comparing works.
Does comparing quotes hurt my credit score?
No. Insurance quotes use a soft inquiry, which does not affect your credit score, so you can compare as often as you like.
What do I need to get started?
Your ZIP code, your vehicle's year, make, and model, and a few details about the drivers on the policy. Most people finish in about two minutes.
Why does my ZIP code matter?
Rates are priced down to the neighborhood: local repair costs, weather, theft rates, and your state's rules all feed into what carriers charge, so where you park matters, not just what you drive.
How often should I re-shop my policy?
Most people set it and forget it for years. Checking at renewal, or after a move, a new car, or a birthday milestone, is when the differences between carriers usually show up.
