How much is car insurance in Kansas? 

When exploring car insurance options in Kansas, it's helpful to compare your rates with the state average. Kansas car insurance rates are generally more affordable than the national average. The state's average annual premium is approximately $631 for minimum coverage and $2,630 for full coverage. In contrast, the U.S. averages are around $741 and $2,545 respectively.

Although Bankrate found Kansas to be the sixth-worst state for tornadoes, the lower rates Kansas drivers experience could be influenced by its less dense population, which potentially leads to fewer road accidents and insurance claims.

Kansas car insurance rates by city

The average car insurance cost in Kansas may depend on where you live. Car insurance companies in Kansas can use your ZIP code as a rating factor when determining your premium, meaning average rates may vary from city to city. Generally, rates are higher in urban areas because of the higher risk associated with driving on congested roads. However, your ZIP code is only one of many car insurance rating factors. As such, you could be paying more or less than the averages shown in the cities below:

Average car insurance costs by age and gender in Kansas

A few states have passed regulations forbidding insurance companies from using your age or gender in their underwriting algorithms, but not Kansas. Generally, the younger you are, the higher your car insurance premium. Additionally, men typically pay more for car insurance than women. However, the premium gap between genders tends to narrow the older you get, and you might notice an uptick in rates after you turn 70 when age-related diseases could put you at higher risk of an accident.

Bankrate’s take: Rates for male drivers tend to be slightly higher than for female drivers because statistics show that men are more likely to be involved in accidents than women while behind the wheel. Male drivers also are more likely to engage in risky practices such as driving while impaired and not using seat belts, according to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The difference in premium rates narrows as drivers age, and is minimal for older drivers.

Cost considerations for young drivers in Kansas

Statistics show that teens get into nearly four times as many car accidents as any other age group. Due to their propensity for risk-taking, teens and young adults pay some of the most expensive car insurance rates. However, these drivers could save significant money by being listed on their parents’ policy rather than taking out one of their own. Not all young drivers will qualify for this, though, so for more information, parents may want to contact their agent.

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

In determining how much is car insurance in Kansas, risk factors play a significant role. A driver with no infractions typically enjoys lower rates, reflecting a lower risk profile. Conversely, a driver with infractions like speeding tickets is seen as a higher risk, potentially leading to increased premiums. The impact is even more pronounced for serious offenses such as DUIs. For example, in Kansas, a driver with a single DUI conviction could see their rates surge by an average of 67 percent more compared to someone with a clean driving record.

The table below shows the average increase that drivers can expect to pay after they have been convicted of a driving offense.

Car insurance rates in Kansas by credit score

Kansas allows car insurance companies to use your credit-based insurance score as a rating factor. Statistically speaking, drivers with lower credit scores tend to file more claims. To offset this risk, car insurance companies typically charge this segment of drivers higher rates. If you compare the average full coverage premium in Kansas for a driver convicted of a DUI with the average rate for a driver with a poor credit score, you’ll notice that the rates are very close to the same.

This table shows clearly how rates increase as a driver's credit score decreases.

Kansas car insurance rates by vehicle type

The type of vehicle you drive also has a hand in how much you pay for coverage. Sports cars, luxury vehicles and large trucks usually cost the most to insure. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. For instance, Kia and Hyundai owners might find an upcoming increase in their car insurance premiums not because their vehicles are especially fast or exotic but because they may be easily stolen. Below, we’ve listed some common vehicles to help provide a baseline if you’re shopping for new insurance. If you are in the market for a new car, you may find it helpful to quote each make and model you’re considering to get a better idea of your insurance costs.

How to save on car insurance in Kansas

Although many drivers might find car insurance rates in Kansas cheaper than average, you could save a little more by executing some of the following strategies:

  • Take advantage of discounts: Maximize your savings by exploring common discounts offered by most carriers, such as vehicle safety, bundling, paperless billing and paying premiums in full. Regularly review and update your policy, especially at renewal, to ensure you're taking advantage of all eligible discounts and any new ones that may become available.
  • Practice safe driving habits: Auto insurers typically award safe drivers the lowest base premiums, and you might get a safe driver discount, too. Safe drivers may also want to consider signing up for a telematics program, which might save a hefty amount if you prove yourself to be a safe and careful driver.
  • Work on your credit score: Car insurance rates in Kansas can depend on your credit score, and in this state, drivers with poor credit typically pay 66 percent more on average than drivers with good credit. Improving your credit score isn’t something that happens overnight, but taking small steps to achieve this goal can make an incredible impact on your car insurance bill.

Methodology 

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze the latest rates in February 2024 for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates include the most recent approved rate changes filed by insurance companies that affect our profile. These revised rates are then weighted based on the population density in each geographic region so that policyholders can see the impact rates have in their areas. Quoted rates are based on a 40-year-old male and female driver with a clean driving record, good credit and the following full coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $50,000 property damage liability per accident
  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
  • $500 collision deductible
  • $500 comprehensive deductible

To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. Our base profile drivers own a 2022 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes.

Credit-based insurance scores: 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.

Incidents: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the following incidents applied: clean record (base), at-fault accident, single speeding ticket and single DUI conviction.

Model: 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).

Age: Rates were calculated by evaluating our base profile with the ages 16-70 (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.

Gender: The following states do not use gender as a determining factor in calculating premiums: California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.

Teens: 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 unless otherwise noted.
