Cheapest Car Insurance in Springfield by Driver and Coverage Type

Your car insurance premium depends on more than just your insurer and location. Factors like your age, driving history, and credit also play major roles in determining costs.

We analyzed Compare.com data to find out which companies offer the cheapest rates in Springfield for various driver profiles and coverage levels. Let’s break down the cheapest options for each driver and coverage type to help you find the right insurer.

Cheapest state-minimum coverage

While liability insurance meets Massachusetts’ minimum requirements, it covers only the other driver when you cause an accident. You’d have to pay for your injuries and damages out of pocket.

If you need basic insurance that meets Massachusetts’ minimum requirements, we found Springfield’s five cheapest companies for minimum coverage, based on data from Compare.com.

Cheapest full coverage

Full-coverage car insurance offers better financial protection than minimum-coverage policies. Full coverage typically includes liability, collision, and comprehensive insurance. Collision insurance covers you if you hit another car or an object like a light pole. Comprehensive insurance covers damages from things like vandalism and severe weather.

If you finance or lease your vehicle, lenders and leasing companies usually require you to buy full coverage.

Massachusetts Auto Insurance Requirements

City skyline with tall buildings and an arched bridge reflecting on a calm river under a cloudy sky.

Like nearly every state, Massachusetts requires all drivers to have car insurance. The state increased its minimum coverage requirements on July 1, 2025. Here’s what you need to legally drive in the Bay State:[5]

  • Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

  • Property damage liability: $30,000 per accident

  • Uninsured motorist bodily injury: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

  • Personal injury protection (PIP): $8,000 per person, per accident

You must meet the state’s coverage requirements to register and drive a vehicle in Massachusetts. The state also requires insurance companies to report active coverage to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Is minimum coverage enough in Springfield?

Massachusetts officials and insurance experts agree — minimum coverage usually falls short in a serious accident. Minimum coverage covers only the other driver’s injuries and damages, and you’d be responsible for anything exceeding your coverage limits.

For example, imagine you cause a crash resulting in $40,000 in medical bills. Even the new limits wouldn’t cover the full cost, forcing you to pay the remaining $15,000 out of pocket.
