What is the average cost of car insurance in Texas?
Texans paid an average of $1,727 a year for full coverage (liability, collision and comprehensive) in 2023, according to the most recent data available from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). That’s more than what drivers nationwide paid — an average of $1,438 per year for coverage, the NAIC report shows. Keep in mind that insurance premiums in most states have changed since then. Your cost will also depend on how much coverage you choose, as well as your driving history and the car you drive.
