What affects your car insurance rate in Arizona?

  • Your car’s make, model, year and trim
  • Your location within Arizona
  • Your coverage level
  • Your driving history, credit score and vehicle storage

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Arizona?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. ‘Make’ refers to the brand and ‘model’ refers to the specific model you drive. For example, Honda (make) Accord (model).

Insurers price based on how much a vehicle costs to repair or replace, how often that model is involved in claims, and how frequently it’s stolen. Two vehicles at the same price point can carry meaningfully different premiums.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $2,875 per year in Arizona, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $2,360 – a difference of $515.

Popular cars aren’t always cheaper to insure

High theft rates or expensive repair costs can push premiums up on common models. Check insurance costs before you buy, not after.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Arizona?

In general, newer vehicles cost more to insure because they are more expensive to repair or replace. In Arizona, the annual premium for a 2024 Honda Accord LX is $2,468, while the 2025 model costs $2,817.

That said, older cars aren’t always cheaper – vehicles without modern safety features or with costly parts may still carry higher premiums.

Check your state’s minimum coverage rules

Every state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and Arizona is no exception. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which typically includes:

According to the III (Insurance Information Institute), state-required minimums often aren’t enough to cover the costs of a serious crash, so it’s worth considering higher coverage levels for stronger financial protection. Driving without the required coverage can result in fines, license suspension, or even vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How does your car’s trim affect insurance rates in Arizona?

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Trim is a version of a vehicle model with different features, equipment, or engine options, such as LX, EX, or Sport.

For example, in Arizona, full coverage for a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $2,468 annually, while the Accord EX-L trim costs $2,547 – a difference of $79.

Premium features like advanced infotainment or high-end audio systems can increase rates by raising the vehicle’s value. Performance trims may also cost more due to higher accident risk.

That upgrade can cost more than you expect

Moving to a higher trim can increase your insurance premium due to higher repair and replacement costs – not just the purchase price. Before choosing a trim, it’s worth getting a quote on each option to see how the price difference carries over to your insurance.

How much does car insurance cost in Arizona?

What is full coverage car insurance?

Full coverage car insurance is a policy that includes liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage. It can also include additional protections like uninsured motorist coverage, medical payments, and other add-ons depending on your needs and state requirements.

How do car insurance rates vary by city in Arizona?

Your location within Arizona can impact your premium just as much as your coverage level. Insurers consider traffic density, accident data, weather risks and theft rates when determining prices – which is why two drivers with similar profiles may pay very different amounts depending on their ZIP code.

Full coverage costs $3,091 per year in Laveen, compared to $1,804 in Yucca.
