How much is car insurance in Georgia?

Car insurance in Georgia is slightly more expensive than the national average. While the average cost of car insurance in the U.S. is $2,545 per year for full coverage, Georgia residents pay around $2,610 per year. When it comes to minimum coverage, Georgia residents pay $813 annually versus the national average of $741 per year.

Georgia's average premiums fall in the middle of the pack compared to surrounding states. For instance, South Carolina's average full coverage premium is $1,886 per year, which is 28 percent less than in Georgia. On the other hand, car insurance in Florida is much more expensive. Florida's average full coverage premium sits at $3,950 per year — 51 percent more than Georgia's. The reason for this could be that Georgia is further inland and therefore less at risk for catastrophic hurricane damage. Furthermore, personal injury protection (PIP) can be quite expensive and is a required coverage in Florida but not in Georgia.
