Monthly car insurance costs in Cape Coral average $164 — slightly less than the Florida average but still higher than the national average. Thanks to its large retiree population, low vehicle theft rates, and a reputation as a safe city for drivers, rates here are often cheaper than in other parts of the state.[1] [2]
Still, many drivers pay less than the citywide average with companies like Progressive, State Farm, and Mile Auto, with average liability rates as low as $96.
Ahead, we’ll break down the cheapest insurers for different driver types, how to choose the right insurance company, and ways to save on your premiums.
The cheapest auto insurance company in Cape Coral is Progressive, averaging $96 per month.
Cape Coral drivers pay $125 per month for liability coverage and $203 for full coverage.
Florida drivers must have at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) to drive legally.[3]
Even though average rates are lower in Cape Coral, you can still find ways to save on your auto insurance. Shopping around and checking for discounts can help ensure you’re getting the best insurance coverage at the cheapest price.

Most drivers should consider full coverage. Florida requires only $10,000 in property damage, which won’t go far if someone totals your vehicle. Full coverage — which usually includes liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage — can help you pay for damage to your car, no matter who’s at fault. Lenders also require full coverage if you lease or finance your vehicle.
Full-coverage insurance policies in Cape Coral average $203 per month, but some insurers offer it for close to what you’d pay for liability insurance.
The chart below shows the five cheapest insurance companies in Cape Coral for full coverage, according to Compare.com data.

Despite being a small part of the Cape Coral population, teens pay the most for car insurance. Inexperience, speeding, driving during peak times, and distracted driving contribute to high fatal crash rates among teens. In fact, teens ages 16 to 19 have a fatal crash rate nearly three times as high as drivers aged 20 and older.[4]
We estimate the cost of car insurance for Cape Coral teens at $277 per month. But it’s still possible for young drivers to find a good deal on auto insurance, especially if you complete a driver training course.

Like nearly every state, Florida requires all drivers to have car insurance. Despite the state’s high rate of personal injury lawsuits and insurance fraud — major contributing factors for Florida’s high insurance rates — it doesn’t require drivers to have a lot of coverage.[6]
$10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP)
$10,000 in property damage liability (PDL)
Florida requires all registered vehicles to have continuous auto coverage, even if no one is driving them or they’re inoperable. You must also have active coverage regardless of where your vehicle is. Failing to do so can lead to the suspension of your driving privileges and license plate.
Florida’s low PIP and PDL coverage requirements likely won’t be able to fully cover damages if you get into a serious accident. Keep in mind that PIP only covers 80% of your and your passengers’ medical expenses. And if you finance or lease your vehicle, lenders will require you to have comprehensive and collision coverage.
Though Lee County’s uninsured motorist rate is lower than the rest of the Sunshine State, you may want to consider adding uninsured motorist coverage to your policy to minimize the risk to your wallet.[7] You don’t want to be stuck paying for damages out of pocket if someone else hits your vehicle and doesn’t have insurance or enough liability coverage to pay for your damages.
