In Arizona, drivers must provide proof of financial responsibility when operating a vehicle. The state requires drivers to have bodily injury and property damage coverage.[3] The average rate for minimum coverage in Scottsdale is $105 per month, according to Compare.com data.
Liability coverage only covers injuries and damages to the other driver, so you may want to consider getting more coverage to ensure coverage for you and your passengers. That’s why most insurance experts recommend purchasing more coverage than the state requires, as a serious accident could exceed your insurance limits.[4]
The following chart lists the five cheapest insurance companies for state-minimum coverage, according to our research.

Like nearly every state, Arizona requires all drivers to meet minimum car insurance requirements. Keep in mind that these minimum insurance requirements also apply to golf carts, motorcycles, and mopeds.
Drivers in the Grand Canyon State must meet the following auto insurance requirements:
$25,000 per person for bodily injury or death
$50,000 per accident for bodily injury or death
$15,000 of property damage coverage
As we previously mentioned, liability insurance covers injuries and damages to the other driver if you cause an accident. It doesn’t cover you, your passengers, or your vehicle. Say you rear-end another vehicle on the highway, causing extensive vehicle damage to both your car and theirs. If the damage exceeds your $15,000 limit, you’d have to pay the rest out of pocket.
If you want to ensure you have adequate protection, most experts recommend buying coverage that exceeds the state’s minimum requirements. While optional, a full-coverage policy can protect you against vehicle damage from theft, an object, natural disasters, and more.
Remember, your lender will require comprehensive and collision coverage if you finance or lease a vehicle.
With so many insurers to choose from, finding the right company for your needs can feel challenging. Check out the following answers to some common questions about auto insurance in Scottsdale.
Scottsdale drivers pay an average of $133 per month for car insurance, according to Compare.com data. Liability coverage costs an average of $105 per month, and full coverage costs $161.
