Best car insurance companies in Vermont

Vermont drivers pay an average rate of $311 per year for the state-mandated minimum coverage car insurance and $1,359 per year on average for full coverage car insurance, which typically includes collision and comprehensive coverage. Although this is lower than the national average cost of insurance, these insurance prices may still place strain on Vermont drivers’ budgets. Bankrate’s research shows that the average cost of a full coverage policy in Vermont increased by 28 percent from 2023 to 2024, and minimum coverage costs rose by 31 percent.

Bankrate uses a multi-step process to help find you the best auto insurance in Vermont. In addition to analyzing average rate data from Quadrant Information Services, we also weigh independent rating agencies, including J.D. Power, AM Best and Moody’s, to approximate carriers’ financial strength and customer satisfaction. We give each company a Bankrate Score, which is generated through careful analysis across the following categories: customer experience, average quoted rates, online resources, mobile app accessibility, financial stability and policy management options. With that, we determined the best car insurance companies in Vermont include Geico, State Farm, USAA, Nationwide and Allstate.

How much is car insurance in Vermont?

Vermont drivers pay an average of $1,359 per year for full coverage car insurance and $311 per year for minimum coverage. This is considerably less than the national average cost of car insurance, which is $2,545 per year for full coverage and $741 per year for minimum coverage. It's also less than what some neighboring states pay. In the nearby state of New Hampshire, for example, the average cost of car insurance is $1,646 per year for full coverage car insurance and $419 per year for minimum coverage. The average driver in the neighboring state of Massachusetts pays $1,646 per year for full coverage and $416 per year for minimum coverage.

The lower average cost of car insurance may be due, in part, to the fact that Vermont is home to just 564,894 licensed drivers and its roads and bridges are in good condition, two factors that help make insurance premiums in the state especially cheap. The state is also largely rural with few congested urban areas where accidents are typically more frequent. That means insurance companies take on less risk overall when insuring Vermont drivers, leading to lower average rates for policyholders in the state.

Methodology

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze 2024 rates for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates are weighted based on the population density in each geographic region. 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.
