California drivers pay an overall average of $216 a month for car insurance. Insurify’s analysts expect costs to rise over the next 12 to 18 months. The end of California’s freeze on rate hikes, the state’s high risk of weather-related damage, and the rising cost of auto body parts will drive the increase.
GEICO, Safeco, and Hugo consistently offer cheap car insurance in California, each with average liability-only rates of less than $80 a month. The average quote for a California liability-only car insurance policy is $139 per month, while a full-coverage policy costs $292 per month. By comparison, the national average rates are $105 for liability-only insurance and $212 for full coverage.
California drivers with a DUI on their record pay over 50% more for car insurance than drivers with clean records.
Mile Auto and Sun Coast are the cheapest liability insurance companies in California, according to Insurify data.
California’s “comparative negligence” law can limit your reimbursement amount after an accident.

Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.
We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 28,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.
Mile Auto and Sun Coast have the lowest average quotes for liability-only coverage in the Golden State. However, your circumstances and insurance needs will play a major role in finding the best rate. Here are the cheapest car insurance companies in California for different drivers.

Launched in 2021, Hugo is currently the only insurance company offering policy terms as short as three days and the ability to make smaller, more frequent micropayments. Drivers open an account with Hugo without paying a down payment, and choose their policy term. Hugo sells policies for three, seven, 14, or 30 days, or six months, and offers minimum coverage liability insurance. Hugo no longer sells full-coverage policies, and liability policies are limited to state minimums – you can’t buy higher liability limits.
The program’s auto insurance meets minimum liability requirements, but drivers can add medical payments and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage for $37 to $107 a year. Drivers can apply for the program online at MyLowCostAuto.com.
How to get the cheapest car insurance in California
Your specific needs and circumstances can influence which insurance company is the cheapest for you. Insurers consider several factors to determine your premium, including your age, driving record, type of car, and the city where you live.[1] Here are a few tips to help you find the most affordable car insurance in California:
Keep a clean driving record. At-fault accidents and traffic violations can raise your premiums, so safe driving can lead to significant savings.
Take advantage of discounts. Discounts for safe driving, bundling policies, or even for driving a hybrid or electric car can cut down your car insurance quote.
Increase your deductible. While you’ll pay more out of pocket if you file a claim, a higher deductible can significantly lower your monthly premium.
Shop around. Comparing quotes from multiple insurers is essential because rates can vary quite a bit from one company to the next.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance in California: Mile Auto
“Liability-only car insurance coverage pays for the policyholder’s legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage,” says Mark Friedlander, director of corporate communications at the Insurance Information Institute. It doesn’t cover repairs or medical expenses for you or your vehicle.
Because it covers so little compared to other policy types, liability usually has the cheapest car insurance rates available. On average, liability insurance in California costs $139 per month. Here’s what you can expect to pay for liability-only insurance with different companies in California:

A liability-only policy covers damages and injuries to others in an accident you cause, but full-coverage insurance also includes protection for your vehicle. Full coverage is generally the better choice if you drive a newer or more valuable car. It includes comprehensive coverage, which pays for damage from theft, vandalism, and natural disasters, and collision coverage, which pays for car damages from an accident, even if you’re at fault.
California drivers pay $292 on average for full-coverage drivers. Here’s a look at some of the cheapest auto insurance companies for full coverage in California:

Are car insurance rates in California going to increase?
Car insurance rates have been relatively stable in California for the last few years. That’s because California’s consumer protection laws that regulate insurance rates imposed a two-year freeze on rate hikes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But premiums will probably increase over the next 12 to 18 months.
Currently, the average annual cost of car insurance in California is $1,518, a 17% increase from 2022. This price may rise a further 4% through the end of the year, and Californians may see fewer options than before, according to Insurify’s 2023 Mid-Year Auto Report.
The combination of California’s car insurance laws and its high risk of severe weather events — more than 50% of counties are at a relatively high or high risk — have made it difficult for insurers to price policies adequately.
Insurance companies are beginning to stop offering auto coverage in the state:
State Farm stopped quoting California car insurance rates by phone.
GEICO has closed its offices in the state.
Progressive has paused advertising in the state.
The crisis also extends to property coverage. In 2023, State Farm and Allstate stopped writing new business and homeowners policies in California.
With more insurers pulling out of California and rates on the rise, it’s now more important than ever for California drivers to shop around and compare prices before buying policies.
Car insurance requirements in California
California is an at-fault state for car insurance. However, it uses “comparative negligence,” so each driver can end up shouldering part of the blame. For instance, if you sue another driver for causing an accident, the court may find that you’re 15% at fault because you were driving a little too fast at the time. In this case, you can only collect 85% of the damages.[2][3]
If you plan to drive in California, you must have auto insurance that meets the state's minimum liability requirements. Here’s the minimum coverage you need in California:[4]
Bodily injury liability
$15,000 per person
$30,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$5,000
For more protection, California auto insurance companies have several optional insurance coverages you can buy:
Uninsured/underinsured motorist
Covers you in case of an accident with a driver who doesn’t have insurance or has insufficient coverage
Medical payments coverage
Helps pay for medical expenses resulting from an accident, regardless of fault
Collision insurance
Covers the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle if it collides with another car or object
Comprehensive insurance
Protects against non-collision incidents, like theft, vandalism, fire, and natural disasters
Custom equipment
Protects aftermarket additions or modifications you make to your vehicle, such as stereos, custom wheels, or navigation systems
Towing and roadside assistance
Pays for help during breakdowns, providing towing, tire changes, and fuel-delivery services
Rental reimbursement coverage
Helps offset the cost of a rental car while your car is in the shop due to a covered claim
Gap insurance
Pays the difference between the actual cash value and the outstanding balance you owe on a car lease or loan if your car is totaled
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Car insurance companies see you as a high-risk driver if your history includes incidents like at-fault accidents, speeding tickets, or DUIs. Higher risk can lead to higher rates for car insurance.[1] For instance, California drivers with a DUI pay nearly double what good drivers with a clean record pay.

Accidents happen. A fender bender or more serious crash can cause your premiums to rise for at least three years, but it doesn’t mean you’ll never get affordable coverage again.[5]
On average, drivers with an at-fault accident on their record pay $171 per month for coverage.
Consider starting your search for coverage after an at-fault accident with policies from the following California auto insurers:

Getting cheap car insurance in California can be difficult if you have a DUI. Fortunately, several companies specialize in high-risk coverage, offering competitive rates if you have a DUI on your driving record or need to have your insurer file an SR-22 in California. Drivers with DUIs on their record experience an average premium of $199 per month for coverage. To help get a lower rate, ask for car insurance discounts and consider telematics programs to demonstrate your commitment to safer driving habits.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Mile Auto
Car insurance costs tend to decrease around age 25 due to having more experience and a generally lower likelihood of risky behavior.[1] Seniors generally experience low rates, averaging at $123 per month.
However, seniors face rising rates at around age 70 due to higher risk. Fatal crash rates jump significantly around ages 70 to 74, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[6]
Here are the cheapest California car insurance companies for senior drivers:

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Mile Auto
Auto insurance rates for young drivers tend to be significantly higher than those for adults due to limited driving experience and higher accident risks. In general, graduated licensing programs cause fatal crash rates to decrease over time, but they remain nearly two times higher than for drivers ages 20 and older, according to the IIHS.[7]
Teens experience high rates at an average of $206 per month. To make coverage costs more affordable, consider staying on your parents’ policy and driving a safe, reliable, older vehicle. If you maintain good grades, you may qualify for a good student discount that can get you even lower rates.
The below rates are estimated rates current as of: Thursday, August 1 at 12:00 PM PDT.

California car insurance FAQs
Check out Insurify’s guide on car insurance declaration pages to better understand what your policy includes. You can also read the following answers to commonly asked questions about car insurance in California.
How much is car insurance in California?
Car insurance in California costs an average of $216 a month. In California, full-coverage car insurance costs an average of $292 a month, and liability-only insurance is $139 a month.
What are the best car insurance companies in California?
USAA, GEICO, and Allstate are among the best car insurance companies in California. These companies have average monthly quotes comparable to the state average, high customer satisfaction scores, strong financial ratings, and solid Insurify Quality Scores. However, drivers should compare quotes with multiple companies to find the best insurer for their needs.
Is California a no-fault state?
No. California follows a fault-based system, which means drivers who cause damages or injuries in an accident are responsible for reimbursing the other parties, typically through their liability policies.
Do you need uninsured motorist coverage in California?
California doesn’t require drivers to purchase uninsured motorist coverage, but it’s a beneficial addition to insurance policies. If a driver without insurance — or with insufficient coverage — damages your car or injures you in an accident, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can help pay for your losses. UM/UIM also covers losses from hit and runs.
Can car insurance companies in California use your credit score to determine rates?
California law prohibits insurance companies from using consumer credit information, gender, or ZIP code when making rating decisions. However, most states allow the use of credit as a rating factor, while a handful of others restrict how insurers can use credit information for rating decisions.

Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 50+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
