How much is car insurance in Louisiana?

The average cost of car insurance in Louisiana is $3,626 per year on average for full coverage, much more than the national average of $2,545 per year. The cost of car insurance in Louisiana is much higher than in surrounding states. For instance, the average cost of car insurance in Mississippi is $2,061 per year for full coverage, and the average cost of car insurance in Texas is $2,627 per year for full coverage.

The high cost of coverage in Louisiana could be due to the economic strain that auto accidents put on Louisiana’s economy. Other possible reasons for the high cost could be the cost of parts and labor during repairs, the cost of medical care from resulting injuries, the state’s frequent natural disasters and the likelihood of getting into an auto accident in the state.

News that affects Louisiana car owners

In August 2023, State Farm approved insurance rate hikes for Louisiana drivers. The company cited inflation, labor costs and more expensive parts as the reason for the hike. Drivers would be expected to pay 17.3 percent more for coverage. Although this was just State Farm, drivers throughout the state already pay some of the highest rates in the country.

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.
