If you’re in Utah, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $188, which adds up to $2,250 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $59 monthly, or $708 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Utah

Your car insurance premium is determined by the coverage limits you choose.

If you purchase only the state’s minimum liability limits, you’ll pay $59 per month or $708 annually. While an affordable option, it only includes liability coverage. That means any damage to your own vehicle won’t be covered.

If you’re looking for more robust protection, consider choosing full coverage car insurance. It includes liability coverage, plus collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle in an accident, no matter who’s at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers theft, vandalism or weather-related damage to your car.

In Utah, drivers typically pay $188 per month or $2,250 annually for full coverage car insurance.

Although it costs more than minimum coverage, full coverage can be a smart choice -particularly if you have a newer or financed vehicle.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$708
Liability only$870
Full coverage$2,250
Non-owner state minimum liability$603

Average car insurance cost in Utah 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 West Valley City, Salt Lake City or West Jordan, 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 St. George or Layton pay significantly low insurance rates, on average between $2,072 and $2,198 a year. Insurers typically charge lower premiums in these cities due to fewer accidents, lower population density, vehicle theft and vandalism rates.

St. George$2,072
Layton$2,198
South Jordan$2,290
Provo$2,293

Average car insurance cost in Utah 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 Utah, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Utah 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 Utah pays an average of $5,129 annually for car insurance, compared to $4,894 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $2,830 per year for male drivers and $2,724 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.
