The average cost of car insurance in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is $129 per month — higher than the statewide average, according to Compare.com data. Tulsa’s rates may be due to frequent hail and windstorms that can cause damage to vehicles.[1] Oklahoma’s 12% uninsured motorist rate is also moderately high compared to other states, according to the Insurance Information Institute.[2]
Fortunately, many insurers offer rates below the Oklahoma average. For example, the cheapest auto insurers in Tulsa are State Farm, USAA, and Allstate, according to our data.
This article will cover everything you need to know to secure cheap car insurance in Tulsa, including what to look for in a company and ways to save money.
State Farm is the cheapest insurer in Tulsa, with an average rate of $38 for liability-only coverage.
Tulsa drivers pay an average rate of $91 per month for liability coverage and $166 for full coverage.
Oklahoma requires drivers to have minimum liability limits of 25/50/25 to legally drive in the state.

Company | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| State Farm | $38 |

Even though it costs a bit more, most drivers should consider full-coverage car insurance. It provides more protection since it includes state-minimum liability coverage, along with collision coverage and comprehensive insurance.
Collision pays for at-fault accidents with another car or object, while comprehensive pays for damages from non-collision events, such as vandalism, natural disasters, and theft. Keep in mind that if you lease your vehicle or have a car loan, full coverage is likely not optional for you — lenders and leasing companies usually require you to have it.
The average full-coverage rate in Tulsa is $166 per month, according to our data. But even with higher average rates, several Tulsa insurers offer full-coverage rates that are close to Tulsa’s average liability price.
The chart below highlights the five cheapest car insurance companies in Tulsa for full-coverage car insurance, according to Compare.com research.
Company | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| State Farm | $84 |

Teen drivers have some of the most expensive car insurance rates of any age group — largely because they have less driving experience. They also have higher crash rates — teens are nearly four times as likely to get into an accident as drivers 20 and older, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[4]
To account for the increased risk, insurers charge teens much higher rates. The average cost of car insurance for teen drivers with a standalone policy in Tulsa is $240 per month, according to our data. But you can still find affordable coverage if you know where to look.
The chart below is a good place to start. It highlights the five cheapest car insurance companies in Tulsa for teen drivers.

On the other hand, senior drivers pay some of the cheapest rates of any age group due to their often decades of experience behind the wheel — but only as long as you have a relatively clean driving history. Seniors present very little risk to insurers, which translates to lower premiums. But once you reach your 70s, you may see your rates increase again due to age-related concerns.
The average cost of car insurance for senior drivers in Tulsa is $120 per month, according to our data. The chart below shows the five cheapest auto insurers in Tulsa for seniors.

Most auto insurance companies look at your credit history when determining your car insurance rates. They typically use a credit-based insurance score (not your credit score) to gauge how risky you are to insure.[5]

Oklahoma, like just about every other state in the country, requires all drivers to have certain minimum limits of liability car insurance. Here’s what you’ll need before you hit the road:
$25,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per person
$50,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per accident
$25,000 in property damage liability coverage per accident
The state also requires you to have proof of insurance with you in your vehicle at all times. For further information about requirements, visit the website of the Oklahoma Insurance Department.[6]
While minimum coverage is technically enough from a legal standpoint, it’s not usually sufficient to protect most drivers. If you get into an accident, liability insurance will only cover the other driver’s damages and injuries. Your own vehicle damages and injuries will be entirely on you to pay, which can get expensive quickly.
Again, this is why many insurance experts recommend buying additional coverage above the state’s minimum limits.
Take a look at these answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Tulsa auto insurance to ensure you get the right policy.
