Drivers in Arlington, Texas, pay an average monthly cost of $172 for car insurance, according to Compare.com data. Arlington’s average rate is higher than the national average of $136 likely because of increasing severe weather events, higher repair and labor costs, and higher claim settlements.[1]
But just because Arlington’s average rates are relatively expensive doesn’t mean you have to pay more. Find out the best insurance companies in Arlington, and see which ones offer the cheapest premiums based on driver profile and coverage type. We’ll also give you tips for saving even more cash.
The cheapest car insurance company in Arlington, Texas, is State Farm.
Arlington drivers pay an average of $172 per month for car insurance.
Around 20% of Texas drivers are uninsured, according to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), making uninsured motorist coverage worth considering.[2]
Where you live plays a big role in how much you pay for car insurance, with theft rates, repair costs, weather, and other factors contributing to insurance rates.

Like most states, Texas requires drivers to have car insurance to legally drive. Currently, you must have the following minimum coverage:[3]
$30,000 per person for bodily injury liability
$60,000 per accident for bodily injury liability
$25,000 per accident for property damage liability
Although Texas doesn’t require uninsured motorist coverage, it’s a good idea to consider, since an estimated 20% of Texas drivers don’t have insurance, according to the Texas DMV. If a driver without insurance hits you, your uninsured motorist coverage can help pay for the damage to your car.
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) recommends buying enough liability coverage to protect your finances.[4] If you cause an accident, you might have to pay out of pocket for damage or injuries that exceed your liability limits.
Lenders also typically require you to buy comprehensive and collision insurance when you finance or lease a vehicle to protect the car itself. You should also consider gap insurance if you make a small down payment or owe more than your car is worth. It can cover the difference between what you owe and its actual cash value (ACV) if you total it.
The average monthly insurance cost in Arlington is $172, but you can look for ways to save money by comparing policies from different insurers.

GEICO offers Arlington drivers cheap rates and many discounts to help you get the right coverage at the best price. These include good student, safe driver, vehicle equipment, and driver affiliation discounts. The company is also one of the few insurers offering mechanical breakdown insurance, which works like a vehicle warranty and covers things an auto insurance policy typically doesn’t cover, like engine failures.
While GEICO has above-average customer satisfaction ratings in the Texas region, J.D. Power gives it a below-average score in digital service experience and claims satisfaction. It’s also worth noting that there’s only one local agent in the Arlington area.

Customers appreciate the insurer's efficient service and knowledgeable agents but find the consistently rising rates and lack of communication to be major drawbacks.

Allstate is another affordable option for auto insurance and has an above-average customer satisfaction rating in the Texas region. If you’re a rideshare driver or need an insurance policy for a trip to Mexico, Allstate may be a good fit. The company also offers up to 30% in savings with its Drivewise telematics program, and if you’re a safe driver and responsible payer, you can save even more.
But Allstate gets a below-average claims satisfaction rating from J.D. Power, and customer reviews point to a potentially slow and frustrating claims process.

One of the easiest ways you can save on car insurance is to take advantage of discounts, though availability varies by insurance company and state. Common discounts you may qualify for in Arlington include:
Safe driver discount: Good drivers with a clean driving record may qualify for a safe driver discount.
Anti-theft discount: You may get an anti-theft device discount if your car has theft deterrents such as an alarm system or GPS tracking.
Low-mileage discount: If you work from home or don’t drive much, you may qualify for a low-mileage discount. Many companies consider “low mileage” to be 10,000 miles per year or fewer.
Good student discount: Full-time students who have a B or above GPA may qualify for a good student discount.
Car insurance discounts aren’t the only way to get a low rate on your insurance policy. The following tips can help you save even more.

Taking time to shop for car insurance can help you find the right coverage for your budget. Use these money-saving tips to help you get the cheapest insurance rate:
Raise your deductibles. If you have full coverage, you can increase your deductibles, which will lower your premium. Just make sure you can afford the higher out-of-pocket cost if you have to file a claim.
Bundle insurance policies. Bundle your home and auto insurance with the same company for a multi-policy discount.
Ask about telematics. You can show off your safe driving skills and get rewarded with cheaper rates if you let your insurer track your driving habits.
Consider your next vehicle purchase. If you’re considering a new or used car, check which vehicle model offers the best rates.
Compare car insurance quotes frequently. Check insurance rates every six months or when you renew your policy to ensure you continue to pay the least for the right coverage.
Compare personalized quotes and get cheaper rates in minutes.
