If you drive in Kentucky, you know how important it is to have the right car insurance – but finding a policy that fits your needs and budget isn’t always simple. That’s why we built the Kentucky car insurance calculator: to help you quickly estimate costs and explore coverage options that work for you.

Our calculator uses your vehicle’s make and model to estimate your average annual and monthly premiums in Kentucky, making it easier to compare options and choose the coverage that’s right for you.

How to use our car insurance calculator to estimate your rates in Kentucky:

  • Step 1: Choose the model year of your car.
  • Step 2: Choose the make and model of your car.
  • Step 3: Choose your state.
  • Step 4: Click on the “Get My Rates” button to get a car insurance estimate.
  • Step 5: Expand your options by adding more vehicles, or take the next step by clicking the “Get quotes” button to compare policies and prices.

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Kentucky?

Your car’s make and model play a major role in determining your insurance rates, along with other factors insurers use when setting premiums.

For example, the average annual full coverage cost for a Honda Accord LX in Kentucky is $2,904, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $2,445 – that’s a difference of $459 annually.

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

In Kentucky, as in most states, your car’s model year can impact your insurance rate. For example, the average annual premium for a 2023 Honda Accord LX is $4,922, compared to $2,763 for the 2024 model.

Quick tip: Know your state’s minimum insurance requirements before you buy

Car insurance requirements vary by state. In Kentucky, you must have at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally. This typically includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits are just the minimum required by law-many drivers opt for higher coverage to ensure better financial protection after an accident. Driving without the required coverage in Kentucky can result in fines, license suspension or 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 your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Kentucky

Your car’s trim is one of the factors insurers use to calculate premiums in Kentucky. Insurance companies take into account the car’s value, safety features, repair expenses and theft rates. As a result, trims with luxury features or powerful engines tend to be more costly to insure.

Full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX in Kentucky is about $4,922 per year. On the other hand, the 2023 Honda Accord EX-L trim costs $4,046, which is $876 annually.

Higher-end trims often come with expensive features like luxury interiors or advanced infotainment systems, which make the vehicle more costly to replace. Performance trims with bigger engines may also carry higher premiums due to the added risk associated with faster driving.
