If you’re in Texas, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $219, which adds up to $2,631 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $52 monthly, or $620 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 Texas

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 $52 per month or $620 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 Texas, drivers typically pay $219 per month or $2,631 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$620
Liability only$900
Full coverage$2,631
Non-owner state minimum liability$418

Average car insurance cost in Texas by city

Where you live in Texas can have a big impact on your car insurance rates.

On the other hand, drivers in cities like El Paso and Austin tend to pay much lower insurance premiums, between $2,560 and $2,619 per year.

These cities usually have fewer accidents, lower crime rates and less congestion, which helps keep insurance costs down.

Average car insurance cost in Texas by age

Insurers consider age a key risk factor when determining car insurance rates. Our data shows that young drivers typically pay higher premiums due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Generally, rates are highest for teens, begin to drop after age 25 and rise again once drivers reach their early 70s.

Let’s take a closer look at how much you might pay in Texas for a full coverage policy based on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Texas for young drivers

If you’re a young driver, you can expect to pay above average premiums. Insurers see young drivers as high-risk, which means higher premiums until you gain more experience behind the wheel.

For instance, 20-year-old male drivers in Texas pay an average of $5,020 per year for car insurance, while females of the same age pay $4,552.

But by the time you turn 25, insurance premiums drop to $3,114 a year on average for male drivers and $2,970 for female drivers.
