How Bankrate chose the best car insurance companies in Texas

To find the best auto insurance companies in Texas, Bankrate analyzed rate data from Quadrant Information Services to see what drivers in Texas are paying for car insurance coverage on average. While we know that price plays an important role in determining which car insurance company is best for you, we also know it is not the only valuable metric. Our editorial team includes licensed insurance agents with real-world insurance industry experience, so when it comes to choosing car insurance in TX, we know first-hand that it’s also helpful to consider discount availability, financial strength ratings and other qualities when reviewing a company.

To help drivers quickly compare providers based on key metrics, Bankrate employs a five-point scale to evaluate each insurer’s coverage options, overall affordability, discounts and third-party ratings for customer satisfaction and financial strength. Since we live in a fast-paced world, we also looked for companies that offer mobile and online tools that can help policyholders easily manage their policies and submit and track claims.

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.
