Though it doesn’t offer as many coverages as other insurers, it makes up for it in customer satisfaction — State Farm ranked third in Texas for customer satisfaction on J.D. Power’s 2024 Auto Insurance Study.

Compare personalized quotes from Lubbock’s cheapest companies.
Your coverage level is one factor that determines your insurance premiums. Liability-only coverage is the cheapest option that meets state-minimum requirements in Texas. Lubbock drivers pay an average of $109 per month for liability insurance. This only covers injuries and property damage you cause to others, not yourself or your vehicle.
Here are five of the cheapest car insurance companies for liability-only coverage.
While these rates are among the cheapest you’ll find in the area, most experts recommend purchasing additional protection for your vehicle.
With that in mind, let’s find out which insurer offers the cheapest full-coverage policy in Lubbock.
Full-coverage insurance usually includes liability insurance, comprehensive coverage, and collision coverage. It’s more expensive because it provides physical damage coverage for your vehicle, regardless of fault. It’s a good idea if you want to avoid paying the total cost of fixing or replacing your car if you get into an accident.
Lubbock drivers pay an average of $216 per month for full coverage, but some insurers offer lower rates. The chart below shows the cheapest full-coverage options in Lubbock, according to our research.
While these five companies are a great starting point if you’re looking for affordable coverage, keep in mind that your personal rates could be different depending on your unique driver and insurance profiles.
So let’s dive a little deeper and take a look at how rates differ in Lubbock by age and driving record.

Your driving record is another factor that affects your car insurance rates. Car insurance companies view drivers with tickets, accidents, and DUIs as riskier to insure. Drivers with clean records get the best rates, while high-risk drivers pay higher premiums.
The table below shows how your driving record can affect your insurance costs, the average Lubbock premium by driving record, and the cheapest insurer.
Driving Record | Citywide Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean record | $162 | State Farm | $37 |
| Speeding ticket | $219 | State Farm | $47 |
| At-fault accident | $226 | State Farm | $49 |
| DUI | $258 | State Farm | $59 |
Let’s explore Lubbock’s cheapest car insurance companies for drivers with a speeding ticket, an at-fault accident, and a DUI.
If you get a speeding ticket on your record, your auto insurance costs will likely increase. A speeding ticket causes your auto insurance rates to go up by 29%, according to Compare.com data.
We found that State Farm offers the cheapest car insurance for Lubbock drivers with speeding tickets, with an average monthly premium of $47.
If you cause an accident, expect an average rate increase of 33% at your next renewal, according to Compare.com data. If you get an accident on your record, insurance companies consider you to be at a greater risk for future accidents. Insurers manage that risk by charging you higher monthly premiums.
State Farm drivers with an accident on their record pay the cheapest rates, $49 per month on average, in Lubbock.
A DUI is one of the most severe violations you can receive. A first-time DUI conviction raises your insurance premiums by 61%, according to Compare.com data.
State Farm is the cheapest auto insurer in Lubbock for drivers with DUIs, with an average rate of $59 per month.
Your age is one rating factor you can’t control, yet it’s one of the most important attributes when it comes to car insurance. Generally, car insurance rates are higher when you’re younger but decrease as you age and gain experience behind the wheel. But your rate may increase a bit once you hit your 70s.
The following table also shows the cheapest insurer by age in Lubbock and the cheapest insurer’s average rate, according to our analysis.
Age Group | Citywide Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teens | $312 | GEICO | $69 |
| 40s | $148 | State Farm | $34 |
| 60s | $129 | State Farm | $28 |
Let’s take a look at rates for teens and seniors and the insurer offering the best premiums.
Teens are by far the most expensive age group to insure. Per mile driven, teens are almost four times as likely to get into an accident as drivers 20 and older, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Lack of experience and increased crash chances explain why young drivers pay higher rates than other age groups.
GEICO offers the cheapest car insurance policy for teens in Lubbock, at $69 per month, according to our analysis.
Retirement comes with good news for Lubbock seniors — they have some of the cheapest premiums of all age groups. Seniors typically drive less, and more rarely at night, resulting in lower rates. But once you reach age 70, your chance of a fatal crash increases, according to the IIHS, along with your premiums.
State Farm is the cheapest car insurer for senior drivers in Lubbock — rates average $28 per month, based on our data.
Texas requires all drivers to have certain minimum limits of liability insurance to drive legally. You must have at least 30/60/25 liability coverage, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. That breaks down to the following coverages:
$30,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per person
$60,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per accident
$25,000 of property damage liability coverage per accident
Since you’re financially responsible for any injuries or damage you cause that exceeds your liability insurance, many insurance experts recommend buying enough liability coverage to protect your assets.
Texas insurers must also include personal injury protection (PIP) in your auto insurance policy. It covers your medical bills and lost wages if a car accident injures you — no matter who caused the accident. But you can waive PIP coverage in writing if you don’t want it.

Many factors go into calculating your car insurance rates, such as your age, marital status, driving record, and ZIP code. While you can’t control all the different factors, you can do some things to save on your auto insurance premiums in Lubbock, including:
Bundle your policies: You can save up to 30% if you bundle your auto and home insurance policies with the same insurance company.
Ask about discounts: Many insurers offer discounts, so ask your insurance agent about what you may qualify for to reduce your costs.
Avoid traffic violations and accidents: Maintaining a clean driving record can help you get the best rates. Be sure to obey the speed limits, and don’t drive while intoxicated.
Consider a telematics program: Usage-based insurance allows you to put your driving skills to the test and earn a discount for staying safe on the road.
Shop around: The best way to know if you’re getting the lowest rate is to compare auto insurance quotes from multiple companies.
