Is car insurance expensive in Utah?

The average rate of car insurance in Utah is less than the national average, with drivers paying an average of $832 for minimum coverage and $2,141 for full coverage annually. Your own rate is likely to differ from this, because it is based on factors that are unique to you and your situation, such as your age and location, as well as your car's make, model and age.

Why do car insurance rates vary by state?

Auto insurance prices are based on risk calculations, which insurers use to estimate the potential costs a given policyholder might present to their finances. Risk factors vary between individuals, but also between geographic regions. In areas with high property crime rates, for instance, comprehensive coverage is likely to cost more due to the higher risk of a vandalism or theft claim. State regulation of the insurance industry can also account for differences in rates. In a recent study of state insurance regulation, the New York Times identified Utah as a “high regulation” state, meaning that insurance companies in Utah receive tighter regulation of the rates they charge to consumers.

What is the best car insurance company in Utah?

The best car insurance company in Utah is different for everyone. For some drivers, USAA might be the best option, and for others, Allstate is a better choice. Before you choose an insurance company, take some time to shop around, get multiple quotes and compare them to see which provider can offer the lowest price for the amount and type of coverage you want.

What is the cheapest car insurance company in Utah?

There is no single company that is always the cheapest for everyone. When looking for cheap Utah car insurance rates, it's a good idea to ask for quotes from several insurers to see who can give you the lowest rate. Just be sure you're asking for exactly the same coverage options from each carrier, so you can do an apples-to-apples comparison.

Utah car insurance rates by city

Utah car insurance rates are not standardized across the entire state. The city you live in and your ZIP code play a role in determining your rate. Insurers look at statistical data related to accident rates and property crime in a given ZIP code to understand the risk levels associated with car ownership there. If your area has a lot of dense traffic, a high rate of vehicle theft or other key risk factors, you could pay a higher rate for car insurance. The table below includes the average cost of car insurance in 10 Utah cities and how rates differ from the statewide average premium.

Average car insurance costs by age and gender in Utah

Young drivers in Utah, as in most states, pay some of the highest rates for car insurance due to their lack of experience on the road. Statistics show that teen drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents and may engage in risky behaviors behind the wheel, such as speeding or texting while driving. In fact, motor vehicle accidents were the leading cause of death for female teenagers between 13 and 19 years old in 2020.

Along with your age, your gender has the potential to impact your car insurance rate in Utah. That’s because statistics also show that male drivers have a higher rate of fatal accidents than females.

*16-year-old calculated on parents' policy with discounts applied; 18- and 20-year-old are renters on their own policies with no discounts applied

Bankrate’s take: Like all insurance, car insurance is priced based on risk. In order to predict customers’ risk factors, insurers turn to statistics, which show a higher rate of accidents for male drivers compared to female drivers, especially in younger age groups. In states that permit the use of age and gender in auto insurance pricing, young men are most likely to pay high rates for coverage compared to other groups.

Cost considerations for young drivers in Utah

While 16- and 17-year-olds cannot get their own car insurance policies in almost all situations, young drivers aged 18 and up can. Older teens often have the option to get their own policy or stay on their parents’ policy (as long as they still live in their parents’ household in most circumstances). Unless an 18 year old has a separate permanent address from their parents, it’s typically more affordable to stay on a family policy because older family members’ lower risk will offset the risk associated with the teen. As you can see from the average rates below, staying on your parents’ policy in Utah can shave a significant amount of money off your annual premium.

How does driving record impact the cost of car insurance in Utah?

One of the biggest factors that will impact your car insurance rate is your driving record. If you have any violations on your record within the last several years, you will probably pay a higher premium. Some incidents, like speeding tickets, may only result in a minor increase to your insurance premium. DUI convictions, on the other hand, are a serious matter for insurers. Utah drivers with one or more may see significant penalties, including the loss of their license, and they may have to find a car insurance company that specializes in providing coverage for high-risk drivers.

Below are average car insurance rates in Utah for drivers with one speeding ticket, one accident or one DUI, showing the impact each typically has on car insurance premiums.

How to save on car insurance in Utah

Average car insurance rates in Utah are lower than national averages, which should be welcome news to Utah drivers. But no one wants to pay more than they have to for insurance. If you are looking for cheap car insurance, there are a few strategies you can consider to help you save money. Here are some suggestions:

Pay your premium in full: If you can afford to pay your annual premium up front and in full, your insurance company may discount your premium.
Improve your credit: If you have bad credit, taking steps to improve it could eventually mean securing a better car insurance rate.
Switch insurance companies: You may want to request quotes from a range of carriers every year to see if another company offers you a better deal on your auto insurance. Switching insurers is typically fairly easy and may save you money in the long run.
Take advantage of discounts: Most car insurance companies offer several discounts to help offset costs, and many are easy to earn. You might want to check with your agent each year about what’s available and what you might qualify for.
Enroll in a telematics program: Insurers are increasingly offering telematics programs, which use an app or a small device installed in your car to monitor your driving in real time. If you prove to be a safe and careful driver, you can be rewarded with a reduced rate.

Frequently asked questions

The average car insurance rates in Utah are $832 per year for a minimum coverage policy and $2,141 for a full coverage policy. On a monthly basis, that breaks down to about $69 per month for minimum coverage and $178 per month for full coverage.
The average rate of car insurance in Utah is less than the national average, with drivers paying an average of $832 for minimum coverage and $2,141 for full coverage annually. Your own rate is likely to differ from this, because it is based on factors that are unique to you and your situation, such as your age and location, as well as your car's make, model and age.
Auto insurance prices are based on risk calculations, which insurers use to estimate the potential costs a given policyholder might present to their finances. Risk factors vary between individuals, but also between geographic regions. In areas with high property crime rates, for instance, comprehensive coverage is likely to cost more due to the higher risk of a vandalism or theft claim. State regulation of the insurance industry can also account for differences in rates. In a recent study of state insurance regulation, the New York Times identified Utah as a “high regulation” state, meaning that insurance companies in Utah receive tighter regulation of the rates they charge to consumers.
The best car insurance company in Utah is different for everyone. For some drivers, USAA might be the best option, and for others, Allstate is a better choice. Before you choose an insurance company, take some time to shop around, get multiple quotes and compare them to see which provider can offer the lowest price for the amount and type of coverage you want.
There is no single company that is always the cheapest for everyone. When looking for cheap Utah car insurance rates, it's a good idea to ask for quotes from several insurers to see who can give you the lowest rate. Just be sure you're asking for exactly the same coverage options from each carrier, so you can do an apples-to-apples comparison.

Premium

An insurance premium is the amount that you pay to receive coverage. You’ll typically pay the premium monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Many insurers will offer a discount if you pay for a longer period up front.

Full coverage car insurance

Full coverage auto insurance includes your state's required minimums plus additional coverage. Typically, it refers to policies that include collision and comprehensive insurance, which cover damage to your car from things like weather, theft and accidents you cause.

Minimum coverage car insurance

Most states mandate that drivers carry insurance, with required coverage relating to liability for medical bills and property damage. Minimum coverage car insurance policies do not help pay for expenses related to repairing or replacing your own vehicle if you cause an accident, though.

Deductible

An insurance deductible is the amount that you must pay out of pocket if you file an approved claim. If you’re facing a $1,000 car bill after an accident and have a $500 deductible, you’ll pay $500 out of pocket and the insurer will cover the other $500.

These rates were calculated based on the following insurance credit tiers assigned to our drivers: “poor, average, good (base) and excellent.” Insurance credit tiers factor in your official credit scores but are not dependent on that variable alone. Four states prohibit or limit the use of credit as a rating factor in determining auto insurance rates: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Michigan.
Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following incidents applied: clean record (base), at-fault accident, single speeding ticket, single DUI conviction and lapse in coverage.
Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the ages 18-60 (base: 40 years) applied. Depending on age, drivers may be a renter or homeowner. Age is not a contributing rating factor in Hawaii and Massachusetts due to state regulations.
Rates were determined by adding a 16- or 17-year-old teen to their 40-year-old married parents' policy. The rates displayed reflect the total cost of a driver this age added to their parents’ policy.
To determine cost by vehicle type, we evaluated our base profile with the following vehicles applied: BMW 330i, Ford F-150, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Prius and Toyota Camry (base). For new vs used vehicles, we also included the following years in our calculations: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 (base) and 2020.
