At $2,510 per year, full coverage car insurance in Augusta is $7 more than the state average and $68 less than the national average. Progressive offers the lowest average rate at $1,717, but your actual premium depends on factors like your age, driving record, and coverage level.

Where you live plays a bigger role than most drivers expect. Insurers price risk by ZIP code, so local factors – traffic density, accident and theft rates, repair costs, weather, and the share of uninsured drivers on the road – all feed into what you pay in Augusta. That’s why two drivers with identical records can pay very different rates depending on which side of a city line they live on.

Here’s how Augusta’s average premium stacks up against Georgia and national rates:

How much car insurance do you need in Augusta?

Liability coverage is necessary to drive legally for drivers in Augusta, but full coverage protects more – it pays out for your own vehicle, not just the other driver’s.

With liability only, you’re covered for damage you cause to someone else – but not for your own car. A crash, theft, or a tree branch through your windshield comes straight out of your pocket. Here’s what each coverage level costs per year and what it includes:

• State minimum coverage: $832 per year – Limits of $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 total bodily injury per accident, $25,000 property damage. The lowest coverage level allowed by law.
• Liability only coverage: $1,002 per year – Limits of $50,000 bodily injury per person, $100,000 total bodily injury per accident, $50,000 property damage. Pays for injuries to others and property damage when you’re at fault – but doesn’t cover your own vehicle.
• Full coverage: $2,510 per year – Limits of $100,000 bodily injury per person, $300,000 total bodily injury per accident, $100,000 property damage. Combines liability with collision and comprehensive, so your own car is covered too.

Do men or women pay more for car insurance in Augusta?

Male drivers in Augusta average $2,518 per year for full coverage car insurance,which is $17 more than female drivers at $2,501 per year.

Insurers in most states use gender as a rating factor. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania block this practice.

The Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), a nonprofit that researches insurance trends, reports that women are involved in fewer serious accidents than men. Insurers price that risk difference into premiums, which is why men pay more for car insurance.

No age group pays more than teens in Augusta – $10,716 a year, or $893 monthly. Every year of driving experience chips away at that number – with drivers 20 to 24 averaging at $4,305 annually, drivers 25 to 55 averaging at$2,516, and drivers 60 to 75 averaging at $2,734.

According to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), teen drivers — between the ages of 16 to 19 — have crash rates over 3 times those of drivers 20 and older per mile driven. Insurers factor this risk in, pushing teen car insurance rates higher.

That gap narrows fast with age. By 20 to 24, drivers pay $4,305 a year – 60% what teens pay.
