No company is the single “best” insurance company — the best insurer for you will depend on your specific driver profile and needs. When choosing from the companies below, we considered average rates, discounts, customer reviews, and coverage options.
Here are the best insurers in Wichita across three different categories.
| User Reviews | 4.1 |
|---|---|
| Our Rating Compare.com's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The objective formula used in these reviews weighs several important factors to consider when choosing financial products and services, including customer satisfaction ratings, ease of use, and a number of other components. | 4.3 /5 |
| Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $101/mo |
| Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $195/mo |

Drivers value the reliable coverage but find the policy costs high and the rate increases too frequent. Communication and claim settlement speed also need improvement.
Travelers’ average rate for full-coverage insurance is among the lowest in Wichita. Though Travelers isn’t necessarily the cheapest option for liability-only insurance, customers looking for collision coverage, comprehensive coverage, and other coverage options can often save by choosing Travelers.
But it’s also worth noting that Travelers has mixed reviews from customers on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) site and has an above-average volume of complaints on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Complaint Index.

Your coverage level affects your car insurance rates — a liability-only policy at the state-minimum limits is the cheapest option, while robust full coverage is more expensive. Liability insurance covers the other driver’s medical bills and vehicle repairs if you cause an accident — but not your own costs.
The chart below shows the five cheapest companies in Wichita for liability insurance and average monthly premiums.
Company | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| State Farm | $58 |
| USAA | $64 |
| American Family | $68 |
| Progressive | $70 |
| Auto-Owners | $75 |
| Root | $78 |
| Safeco | $83 |
| National General | $87 |
| GEICO | $90 |
| Bristol West | $93 |
| Dairyland | $93 |
| Travelers | $101 |
| Allstate | $102 |

| CSAA | $117 |
| Farmers | $131 |
| Liberty Mutual | $133 |
| Shelter | $160 |
Now, let’s explore the cheapest full-coverage insurance options in Wichita.
Full-coverage insurance includes collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, along with liability insurance. Collision insurance covers damage to your own vehicle after a car accident, while comprehensive insurance covers your vehicle’s damage after a non-collision event, such as severe weather or vandalism.
Full coverage is a good idea if you drive a new or expensive vehicle — though these robust policies are typically more expensive. Luckily, Wichita has some affordable full-coverage options — the cheapest insurers in the city are listed below.
Company | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| State Farm | $114 |
| USAA | $124 |
| American Family | $133 |
| Auto-Owners | $147 |
| Progressive | $147 |
| Root | $151 |
| National General | $153 |

Your driving record is one of the most significant factors in your car insurance rates. On average, drivers who avoid accidents and traffic violations pay lower rates.
The following table explores how your driving history can affect rates in Wichita and the cheapest insurer for each violation.
Driving Record | Citywide Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |

Getting a speeding ticket raises your rates by 27% on average, according to Compare.com data. State Farm is the cheapest option in Wichita for drivers with a speeding ticket on their record, with an average rate of $73 per month.
An at-fault accident on your record raises your rates by 37% on average, according to Compare.com data. Insurers see you as a greater risk for future accidents if you already have one on your record, so they raise your rates to manage that risk.

Maintain good credit: Car insurance companies offer better rates to drivers with high credit-based insurance scores.
