If you call any of these states home, your insurance bills will be higher (and in some cases much higher) than the national average. The reason varies. It may be a unique insurance system, loads of uninsured drivers or just plain high population density. Here are the top five most expensive states for car insurance, read them and weep.


Insurance Rates By Car and Tips For Buying


#1 Michigan: Life-time unlimited benefits


This is the sixth year in a row Michigan has topped our list, and the state has never managed a finish lower than third since Insure.com started the ratings. This is primarily due to its unique insurance system.


The average annual premium in Michigan came in at $2,611. This is a huge leap from last year, a $372 jump to be exact. It also puts Michigan a whopping 79 percent above the national average of $1,457.


The major issue in Michigan is its insurance system. Michigan has a very unique no-fault car insurance scheme, which requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. PIP helps cover medical expenses that the policyholder, family members or even passengers that are injured in a car accident incur. (Read: The Importance Of Having Insurance Vehicle)


The difference between Michigan and other PIP states is the coverage limits. The majority of other states that use a PIP system put a reasonable limit on PIP coverage amounts. However, Michigan guarantees unlimited, lifetime medical benefits to auto accident victims, which dramatically increases an insurer's risk, and your premium.


#2 Louisiana: Lots of uninsured drivers, lots of lawsuits


Louisiana is back in the second spot for the third year in a row. It has been in the top five every year we've done the study. The average premium in the Pelican State hit $2,298, which is 58 percent more than the national average.


In Louisiana, the big factor bumping up rates is uninsured and underinsured drivers who like to sue each other.


The IRC study found that roughly 13 percent of Louisiana drivers don't have car insurance. in addition to this, almost 40 percent are carrying the absolute minimum coverage levels, according to Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon.


State-required minimum coverage levels vary by state and in Louisiana all drivers must carry:


Bodily injury liability: The minimum is $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident

Property damage liability coverage: The minimum is $25,000


While these aren't the lowest minimums, these coverage levels will quickly be eaten up in even a semi-serious accident. This leads many drivers to turn to the legal system to get a higher payout. Louisiana Watchdog reports that Louisiana lawsuit costs are amount the highest in the U.S., with annual expenses nearly hitting $7 billion, 20.6 percent higher than the national average. Auto accidents are the largest portion of the tort system costs reaching nearly 3.4 billion.


#3 Florida: High-risk drivers, highest rate of uninsured drivers


The Sunshine state stayed in the third spot with an average premium of $2,219, which puts it 52 percent above the national average.


Uninsured drivers are a big factor for Florida with the IRC study ranking this state as having the highest rate of uninsured drivers in the nation. The survey estimates that 26.7 percent of drivers are out on the road without insurance. When a quarter of drivers are uninsured, it will absolutely increase the cost of insurance for everyone.


While Florida has more than its share of uninsured drivers it's not the only factor affecting car insurance rates. It is home to an estimated 21.3 million people and not all of them fall into the right category for insurers.


"Florida has a larger percentage of riskier drivers," points out Karen Kees, press secretary at the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. "There are a high number of students due to the many universities in Florida, older drivers due to the large number of retirement communities, and drivers unfamiliar with the local roads due to our popularity with tourists."


#4 Oklahoma: Uninsured drivers, severe weather claims


The Sooner State made a dramatic jump up the list this year, going from 13th in 2018 to number four this year. The average premium in Oklahoma was $1,966 or 35 percent above the national average.


Oklahoma has a couple of problems that help jack up insurance rates. "Automobile insurance rates are higher mainly because of the catastrophic storms Oklahoma experiences and the rather large number of uninsured motorists," says Wayne Stewart, rate and form analyst with the Oklahoma Insurance Department.


Located in Tornado Alley, Oklahoma has experienced plenty of severe weather that leads to expensive claims for insurance companies and those costs end up hitting everyone's premium.


According to a Farmers Insurance report, Oklahoma ranked sixth for hail damage claims from 2013 to 2017. Farmers' data shows that 63 percent of their comprehensive auto insurance claims were connected to hail damage.


Uninsured drivers are the second major factor in Oklahoma that raises insurance rates. Officials with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety estimated that roughly 600,000 Oklahoma residents were driving without valid car insurance. The IRC study says Oklahoma's uninsured driver rate is 11 percent.


#5 Washington D.C: Densely populated, fewer minor claims


Washington D.C. closes out the top five with an average annual premium of $1,876, putting it 29 percent above the national average. D.C. moved up one spot after finishing in sixth last year.


The big reason that D.C. makes the cut is population density. The entire district is basically an urban area, which leads to higher insurance rates. According to Census information, D.C has a population density of 11,020 people per square mile. While this number is certainly smaller than New York City, which clocks in at 28,256 people, it puts it well above other large cities, such as Houston and even Los Angeles.


Highly-populated cities often have higher crime, claim and vandalism rates, which means insurers have to charge higher rates to cover their costs. Tons of cars crammed into a small space leads to more accidents, which leads to claims, which ends in high car insurance rates.


High rates of disposable income can also push up insurance rates and D.C definitely falls into that category. 24/7 Wall Street reviewed 2017 income levels to identify the 25 richest cities in America and the nation's capital finished third.


How much auto insurance coverage to buy for your used car

  • Before getting quotes, map out what levels of comprehensive, collision and liability insurance you want.
  • Remember to be sure you compare rates for the exact same coverage levels -- an apples to apples comparison -- as you shop around. 
  • The level of insurance you need for your used car depends on your vehicle and situation. For instance, an older car may not need as much insurance as a one-year-old car.
  • One caveat: Insurance companies take an entire model's claims history when devising rates. This means you will likely pay higher auto insurance rates regardless of your driving record if your car's model is often stolen, gets into many accidents or its drivers receive many tickets.
  • When choosing auto insurance, the first thing you need to decide is how much liability insurance to get.


How much liability insurance you need

Liability insurance covers injuries to people in another vehicle or property if you're legally liable for an auto accident. Every state except New Hampshire requires at least a minimum level of liability insurance.

Liability insurance protects you and your assets in case of an accident. A used car can do as much damage to people and property as a new car so getting the right level of liability insurance is important.

Liability coverage is broken into two types: bodily injury and property damage. Though state minimums are much less, experts say you should get at least:

  • $100,000 coverage for bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 coverage for bodily injury per accident
  • $100,000 property damage for your vehicle

The higher the coverage the better since if your limits are exceeded you'll be personally responsible.

Insuring a new, used car before you drive it




  • You'll need auto insurance before you drive off the lot or away from the curb of a private owner, so it's a good idea to contact your insurance company before making the purchase. That way, you can have that settled before you buy the car and then potentially forget and get into trouble with your insurance company – and finance company if you financed your used vehicle. You don't want the finance company placing "forced" insurance on your vehicle at a very high cost. And make it clear if you are replacing a vehicle on your policy or adding an additional car to it, as that can make a difference on if there is immediate coverage with your current policy.
  • If you already own a vehicle, generally you can transfer your insurance to your new vehicle for at least a few days. It depends on your insurance company's policy and state laws on if there is coverage you're your current policy and if so how soon you need a new insurance policy for your "new" car.
  • If you buy a vehicle over the weekend, you'll want to contact your insurance company before making the purchase.
  • If buying a vehicle from a private party and you'll be making payments to the seller, to insure the car you will need to title it in your name. You need the seller to sign over the title to you and then put himself on the title as a lienholder, this allows you to title and insure the car and him to protect himself that you'll pay for the car – or he can take legal action.
