Situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado, has 300 days of sunshine each year, natural beauty, and sweeping mountain views. As the state capital, Denver is the most-populous city in Colorado, which could explain why Denver drivers pay an average auto insurance rate of $242 per month — $103 more than the national average. 

Some insurers, including State Farm and USAA, offer affordable policies without sacrificing quality or coverage. Keep in mind that the cheapest company for you may be different depending on your unique situation and insurance needs. 

Quick Facts
  • Denver drivers pay insurance premiums slightly higher than the state average.

  • Colorado permits auto insurance companies to consider your credit when setting your rate.

  • Colorado is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who causes the accident is responsible for the damages.

Considering Expanding Coverage

I was never informed that my rate would increase every month for some reason. No one told me about it. I received a notice in the mail stating that what I was supposed to pay that month was always 10 or 20 dollars more than it was the previous month. I would have liked to have been informed about this.

Absolutely terrible. This company left me without a car for 8 months. They couldn't decide whether or not to total my car after it was already repaired. There were so many mistakes on their end and all I received at the end was a voicemail acknowledging their mistakes and an apology. This was literally the worst experience I've had with an insurance company. I'm traumatized!

The 10 Best Car Insurance Companies (March 2024)

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Denver

If your goal is to find the cheapest car insurance, a liability insurance policy is generally the way to do so. Liability insurance pays for damage to other individuals and their property due to an accident you’ve caused.

It protects the other drivers, as well as your financial well-being. Nearly every state, including Colorado, requires all drivers to carry liability insurance at the very minimum.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Denver

If you’d prefer more robust insurance coverage, consider getting full-coverage insurance. This type of policy includes liability insurance along with other coverages that protect your own vehicle, including comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, and uninsured motorist coverage.

Not everyone needs full coverage, but you should have it if you can’t afford costly repairs to your vehicle — or to replace your vehicle altogether — after an accident.

Car insurance requirements in Colorado

Like most other states, Colorado requires all drivers to carry liability insurance. Colorado is an at-fault insurance state, which means the driver at fault for an accident is financially responsible for any damages. Colorado’s minimum insurance limits, listed in the table below, are on par with most other states.[1]

Colorado also has a stipulation that allows anyone with at least 25 registered vehicles to apply for a certificate of self-insurance. But this is mainly targeted at business owners, as few individuals will meet this requirement.[2]

CoverageMinimum Requirements
Bodily injury liability$25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability$15,000 per accident

Colorado drivers also have access to several optional insurance coverages, including:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/5285c4cd74/uninsured-or-underinsured-motorist-coverage.svg

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    This coverage pays for damage to your vehicle if you’re involved in an accident where the driver at fault doesn’t have sufficient insurance — or any insurance at all — to cover the damage.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Collision coverage

    If you’re involved in any sort of collision with your vehicle, this coverage will pay for the damages, regardless of whether the collision is with another vehicle or something else.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

    Comprehensive coverage

    If you damage your car in an incident other than an accident, your comprehensive coverage will pay for it. For example, it would cover damage from natural disasters, theft, falling objects, and more.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/4c9753bdbe/medical-payments.svg

    Medical payments coverage

    Your bodily injury liability coverage pays for other people’s medical bills if you cause an accident. Medical payments coverage pays for your own medical bills, regardless of who caused the accident.[3]

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Your driving record is one of the most important factors that affect your insurance premiums.

“If you have a history of accidents or traffic violations, you are considered a higher-risk driver, and insurance companies will charge you more for coverage,” says John Espenschied, owner of Insurance Brokers Group in Missouri. “On the other hand, if you have a clean driving record, you are considered a lower-risk driver, and your premiums will be lower.”

Violations such as speeding tickets, driving under the influence, and at-fault accidents are all likely to increase your rates. The amount your rates increase will depend on the severity of the violation.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket

A speeding ticket is one of the most common violations that can increase your insurance rates. The effect on your premiums will depend on several factors, including your driving record at the time of the ticket.

Someone with three speeding tickets will see a greater increase than someone with just one because they’re at a higher risk. Additionally, someone who got a ticket for driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit might see their rates increase more than someone driving only 10 miles per hour over the limit, for example.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident

If you’re found to be at fault for an accident, you can expect your insurance premiums to increase unless you have accident forgiveness on your policy. The amount your premiums will rise depends on the severity and cost of the claim, as well as your existing driving record. 

Depending on the situation, your premiums could also increase after an accident that wasn’t your fault, but the increase likely wouldn’t be as significant.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI

A DUI — or driving under the influence — is one of the more serious driving offenses. In fact, a DUI can result in being denied car insurance coverage altogether. And if you do find coverage, you’ll probably see a large spike in your insurance rates.[4]

The average auto insurance premium roughly doubles when you compare the premiums of someone with a clean driving record to someone with a DUI, according to Insurify data.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors

Generally speaking, car insurance premiums tend to decrease as you age. The older you are, the more driving experience you have and the safer the driving decisions you likely make. However, this trend eventually reverses course. Once drivers reach their 70s, insurers consider them senior and riskier and increase insurance rates.

Cheapest car insurance for teens

Teen drivers pay the highest insurance premiums of any age group due to their lack of experience and propensity to engage in high-risk driving activities like speeding, distracted driving, and driving without a seat belt.[5]

“Statistically, teens are more likely to get into accidents than older drivers, and insurance companies charge higher premiums to offset this risk,” says Espenschied. ”However, there are ways for teens to lower their insurance premiums, such as taking a driver’s education course and qualifying for good student discounts.”

Another way young drivers can save money on insurance is to stay on their parents’ policy. It’s far cheaper to add a teen to a responsible adult’s policy than for a teen to get their own policy.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Denver

When you’re shopping for car insurance in Denver, it’s natural to want to find the best price. Here are a few ways you can find cheaper car insurance rates:

  • Comparison shop. The best way to find cheap car insurance is to get quotes from multiple insurance companies. You can get quotes directly from each insurer or use an insurance-comparison website.

  • Save with discounts. Most insurance companies have a number of discounts available to drivers to help them save money on their policies. You can save by bundling your home and auto policies, paying your premium up front, having a safe vehicle, and more.

  • Raise your credit score. Insurance companies in most states consider your credit score as a factor when setting insurance rates. Generally speaking, the better your credit score, the less you’ll pay for insurance.

  • Revisit your policy. Take another look at your policy to see if you could adjust your coverage limits or raise your deductible. You want to make sure they’re still at a level that would be affordable if you’re in an accident, but adjusting them could lower your premiums.

Denver car insurance quotes by credit tier

In most states, including Colorado, insurance companies can use your credit score as a factor when setting your insurance rates. Credit is often an indicator of risk, so if you have a good credit score, you’ll likely have low insurance rates.

“Studies have shown that people with lower credit scores are more likely to file insurance claims, and insurance companies charge higher premiums to offset this risk,” says Espenschied.

Is car insurance more expensive in Denver?

Drivers in Colorado pay insurance premiums slightly higher than the national average and more expensive than the majority of states, according to data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).[6]

Denver’s rates are slightly higher than the state average of $223. These higher rates could be a result of the city’s higher population and high rate of car thefts. In fact, Denver ranks second on the list of the cities with the most car thefts in the U.S.[7]

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
