Irving drivers pay an average of $176 per month for car insurance. Car insurance in Irving — and in Texas in general — is more expensive than in much of the country.
Texas experiences some of the most costly weather events in the U.S.[1] and has motor vehicle fatality rates that are above the national average.[2] Sitting directly between Dallas and Fort Worth may also contribute to Irving’s higher insurance premiums.
But no matter the average rates, it’s possible to save money on your auto coverage. For example, companies like State Farm, Mile Auto, and Allstate offer premiums well below the statewide average, with prices starting at $61 per month.

The average rate for minimum liability insurance in Irving is $130 per month, according to Compare.com data. State-minimum coverage only pays for the damage you cause to other drivers in an accident. It’s the cheapest policy to purchase, but it also offers the least amount of protection.
Most experts recommend buying more coverage, both to protect your vehicle and to lower your potential out-of-pocket costs in the event you’re at fault for an accident.
Check out the chart below, which breaks down the five cheapest companies in Irving for state-minimum coverage, according to Compare.com data.
Full-coverage insurance costs more and offers more protection than a liability-only insurance policy. It typically includes both comprehensive and collision coverages, which pay for your damages after an accident.
Most drivers should consider full coverage to avoid major out-of-pocket costs after an accident. And if you have a loan or lease on your vehicle, most lenders require it until you’ve fully paid off your loan.
Irving drivers pay an average of $223 per month for full coverage. But some insurers offer rates that are closer to the city’s average liability premiums.
The chart below shows the five cheapest insurers for full-coverage insurance in Irving, according to our data.
Teens and other young drivers usually pay the highest car insurance premiums. They have less driving experience and tend to have riskier driving habits. In fact, teens have vehicle crash rates nearly four times higher than adult drivers, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Teen drivers in Irving pay an average of $347 per month for car insurance, but it’s possible to find better deals — especially if you’re a safe driver.
The chart below shows the cheapest car insurance companies for Irving teens, according to Compare.com data.
While teens pay some of the highest insurance rates, seniors pay some of the lowest thanks to their years of experience behind the wheel. Aside from their experience, older drivers tend to drive less and avoid risky behaviors such as nighttime driving, according to the IIHS.
On average, senior drivers in Irving pay a monthly average of $149 for car insurance. But it’s worth noting that most drivers will see their rates spike once they reach 70, as their risk of accidents rises.[3]
Here are the cheapest insurers for seniors in Irving, according to our data.
Speeding tickets can cause insurance rates to increase, with just one ticket leading to a nationwide average rate increase of 36%, according to our research. Speeding makes you look like a riskier driver and could give your insurer the impression that you’re more likely to file a claim.
Irving drivers with a single speeding ticket pay an average of $213 per month for insurance. But if you shop around, you can likely find a lower rate.
The chart below shows the five cheapest insurers in Irving for drivers with recent tickets, according to Compare.com data.
An at-fault accident on your driving record can also be a major hit to your premiums. A single at-fault accident results in an average rate increase of 40% nationally, according to our research. While your rates may also increase after an accident where someone else is at fault, it’s less common, and the rate spike may be lower.
Drivers in Irving pay an average of $227 per month after an accident, according to Compare.com data. But you may be able to lower your costs by shopping with one of the five insurance companies in the chart below.
In addition to all the legal trouble and fines that come with a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, you’re also likely to see your insurance rates skyrocket. Nationally, insurance premiums increase by an average of 61% after a DUI, according to our data.
The average rate for drivers with a DUI conviction in Irving is $227 per month. The good news is that you’re not stuck with expensive rates if you shop around for quotes.
Start with the chart below, which highlights the cheapest insurers in Irving for drivers with DUI convictions, according to Compare.com data.
Bad credit can result in higher insurance premiums. Drivers with poor credit tend to pay an average of 20% more for coverage than drivers with excellent credit, according to our research. Like other rating factors, your credit history is a risk indicator. Bad credit shows you’re more likely to file a claim, while good credit lowers your perceived risk.[4]
Irving drivers with poor credit pay an average of $220 per month. Luckily, some companies don’t use credit as a rating factor, and others offer low rates despite poor credit.
To see how much you might pay for insurance, check out the cheapest insurers for drivers in Irving with poor credit, according to Compare.com data.

While these companies may not be the right choice for every Irving driver, our list offers a solid starting point when searching for your next policy.

Mile Auto’s unique business model makes it a great option for remote workers, retirees, and other infrequent drivers. You submit your odometer reading each month, and you only pay for the miles you actually drive (plus a low monthly base rate).

Unlike some other pay-per-mile insurance companies that track your driving using a Bluetooth device or mobile apps, Mile Auto simply lets you send a photo of your odometer reading. This approach gives customers greater privacy.

Only charges for miles you drive
Doesn’t require sharing driving data

Texas law requires all drivers to have proof of car insurance while driving. The state’s minimum requirements include:
$30,000 per person of bodily injury liability coverage
$60,000 per accident of bodily injury liability coverage
$25,000 per accident of property damage liability coverage
Penalties for driving without insurance in Texas range from $175 to $350 for a first offense and from $350 to $1,000 for subsequent offenses.[9]
If you’re having trouble finding a policy, you can get a basic policy through the Texas Auto Insurance Plan Association (TAIPA). While you can’t purchase full coverage through TAIPA, you can buy state-minimum liability insurance, personal injury protection, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage — though at a higher price tag than from other companies.
The state-minimum coverage in Irving is enough to avoid a fine, but it may not fully protect your wallet. A serious accident could easily cause damages that exceed the state’s minimum liability limits. If you’re at fault for an accident, any excess costs will come out of your pocket.
Minimum coverage also doesn’t protect your vehicle. You’ll have to buy collision and comprehensive coverage if you want your insurer to pay for damage to your vehicle after an accident or another incident.
