Infographic: Average Auto Insurance Premiums For All 50 States

Here’s another interesting 50-state infographic compiled by HowMuch.net about The Real Difference Between Minimum and Full Coverage Car Insurance. It shows the average annual cost of auto insurance for both the minimum level required by law (usually only liability to pay for damage you caused) and full coverage (adds collision and comprehensive to pay for damages to your own vehicle).

I was surprised at how much auto insurance costs vary by state. Minimum coverage easily varies from $500 to $1,000 a year. But what’s up with Michigan? How can every driver afford $2,700 a year for insurance?

I’m rather spoiled as my annual premium for full coverage is $600 a year ($50 a month) for each car, and that includes the higher liability limits required to qualify for umbrella insurance. Of course, I’m now old and boring. But even when I was in my 20s, I don’t remember it costing more than $100 a month.

Many state insurance departments maintain a database of insurance premiums that can help you find the insurer with the lowest prices in your area. See: Big List of Auto Insurance Premium Comparisons for All 50 States.
