If you live in Connecticut, you can expect to pay an average of around $227 per month for full coverage car insurance, or $2,726 per year. If you carry only your state’s minimum required liability coverage, your cost drops to about $87 monthly or $1,039 annually.

Location plays a big role in what you pay for car insurance. Insurers calculate rates based on state-specific risk factors such as accident frequency, repair and medical costs, theft rates, and even weather-related risks. Urban areas with heavy traffic or higher crime rates tend to see higher premiums, while rural areas are often cheaper. Beyond location, your age, driving record, credit score, ZIP code, and the type of car you drive also affect your rate.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Connecticut

The cost of your car insurance also depends on the coverage levels you choose.

If you opt for just the minimum coverage required by your state, you’ll pay $87 per month, or $1,039 per year. It’s a low-cost option, but keep in mind that it won’t pay for any repairs to your own car if you’re in an accident.

For solid protection, full coverage might be the right choice. It includes liability coverage along with collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle from accidents, irrespective of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision events like theft, vandalism or weather events.

In Connecticut, the average cost for full coverage is $227 per month, or $2,726 per year

While it’s more than what you’d pay for minimum coverage, the added protection can be worth it, especially if your car is of significant value.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$1,039
Liability only$1,119
Full coverage$2,726
Non-owner state minimum liability$991

Average car insurance cost in Connecticut by city

Because car insurance rates vary by location, the city you live in also affects how much you pay. If you’re in cities like Bridgeport, Hartford or New Haven, you’ll likely see higher premiums because of high traffic and accident rates, and greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, drivers in cities like Bristol or Norwalk pay significantly low insurance rates, on average between $2,540 and $2,688 a year. Insurers typically charge lower premiums in these cities due to fewer accidents, lower population density, vehicle theft and vandalism rates.

Bristol$2,540
Norwalk$2,688

New Britain$2,928

Average car insurance cost in Connecticut by age

Age is one of the most important factors insurers consider when pricing car insurance. Young drivers usually pay more because insurers see them as higher risk due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Premiums are typically most expensive for teens, begin to decrease after age 25, and then rise again as drivers enter their 70s.

Here’s a breakdown of what you might pay for full coverage in Connecticut, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Connecticut for young drivers

If you’re a younger driver, expect to pay higher premiums on your car insurance.

Insurers consider young drivers risky because of the increased risk that comes with limited driving experience.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver in Connecticut pays an average of $7,557 annually for car insurance, compared to $6,691 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $3,631 per year for male drivers and $3,496 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.
