How much is car insurance in Colorado?

Colorado drivers pay an average annual premium of $561 for minimum coverage and $2,945 for full coverage, according to November 2024 rate data from Quadrant Information Services. Compared to the nationwide average annual premium of $2,458 for full coverage, Colorado’s average rate is higher. However, minimum coverage in Colorado costs about 19 percent less on average than the national average of $678 per year.

One factor that is likely to play a role in determining Colorado car insurance rates is the number of accidents in the state. So far in 2024, the Centennial State has seen more than 68,000 accidents, with 530 of those resulting in fatalities. Colorado was also named by the FBI in 2024 as the state with the most car thefts. According to the FBI's study, 45,883 vehicles were stolen between 2012 and 2022.

As such, insurance in Colorado is unsurprisingly more expensive than insurance in some neighboring states. For example, the average full coverage premium in Utah is $2,141 per year, and Wyoming drivers pay an average of $1,668 per year.
