How much is car insurance in Missouri?

The average annual cost of car insurance in Missouri is $610 for minimum coverage and $2,437 for a full coverage policy. The national average for full coverage is $2,545 per year, so Missouri drivers may pay slightly less than the average U.S. driver. Compared to neighboring states, Missouri’s average car insurance rate is more expensive. The average annual costs of full coverage car insurance in Illinois and Indiana are $2,316 and $1,639, respectively.

As mentioned, higher insurance costs in Missouri could partly be attributed to high rates of vehicle theft. Elevated rates of uninsured drivers could be to blame, as well. In 2022, it was estimated that roughly 16 percent of Missouri drivers were driving uninsured.

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.
