Best car insurance companies in Mississippi

Bankrate has access to exclusive average premium data from analytics company Quadrant Information Services, and based on our research, the average full coverage premium in Mississippi is $2,061 per year; the annual minimum coverage premium is $514. However, car insurance companies in Mississippi can use more than a dozen rating factors to calculate your rate. As such, you could be paying more or less than the average. Still, you might use this information as a touchstone when requesting quotes.

Price is important, but it’s not the only consideration when looking for a company you can trust. To round out our search, we also reviewed third-party customer service scores reported by the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Auto Insurance Study, complaints lodged with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and more. After our in-depth study, we found USAA, Progressive, State Farm, Nationwide and Allstate could be the best in Mississippi, depending on your needs.

News that affects Mississippi drivers

According to the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), nearly 30 percent of Mississippi drivers are uninsured, the highest rate of any state. To protect yourself financially if you’re involved in an accident caused by an uninsured driver, consider adding uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to your insurance policy. This optional coverage pays for damage and medical costs, up to your policy limit, if you're hit by an uninsured motorist.

How much is car insurance in Mississippi?

The average cost of auto insurance in Mississippi is $2,061 annually for full coverage, while minimum coverage costs an average of $514 a year. These averages are well below the national averages, which work out to $741 for minimum and $2,545 for full coverage. These rates are not far from neighboring states such as Alabama, which has averages of $2,207 and $541. Louisiana, on the other hand, has much higher rates: $3,626 for full coverage and $953 for minimum. This may be partly because of the state's reputation for violent weather.

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.
