Average cost of car insurance Arizona

Full coverage costs more than liability-only, but for most drivers, the additional protection is worth it. Liability-only policies cover injuries and damage you cause to others, but don’t pay for your own vehicle. Full coverage adds collision and comprehensive, protecting you against accidents, theft, weather damage, and more.

In Arizona, the average cost of full coverage is $158 less compared to the national average

We recommend carrying coverage limits of 100/300/100 – $100,000 in bodily injury per person, $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 in property damage liability. These higher limits help protect you financially in severe accidents.

What is full coverage car insurance?

Full coverage car insurance includes bodily injury liability and property damage liability coverage, as well as comprehensive and collision coverage. Collision insurance covers your vehicle if it’s damaged or destroyed in an accident, while comprehensive insurance provides protection against damage that is caused by something other than collisions, such as hail or theft.

If you lease or finance your car in Arizona, your lender may ask you to purchase collision and comprehensive insurance beyond the state-mandated liability coverage.

The bottom line on saving and staying protected

When it comes to car insurance, everyone is looking for ways to save. However, skimping on coverage to save a few dollars now could end up costing you more down the road.

Ensure you’re adequately protected and consider your specific needs before buying an auto insurance policy. Car insurance rates vary, so compare quotes from at least three different companies to find low-cost coverage in Arizona.

Methodology

Insure.com gathered data from Quadrant Information Services to get car insurance rates in Arizona. The rates are based on a sample profile of a 40-year-old male and female driving a Honda Accord LX with a good insurance score and no violation on record for a full coverage insurance policy with limits 100/300/100 and $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles.

To determine car insurance rates for high-risk drivers with a history of traffic violations, we used a sample profile of a 40-year-old male and female driver who own a Honda Accord LX.

We also used sample profiles of drivers from different age groups: Teen drivers (Age 16-19), young drivers (Age 20-24), adult drivers (Age 25-60) and senior drivers (Age 65-75)

We determined the premiums for a high-risk driver with the following incidents applied
