Wyoming drivers pay an average of $56 per month for liability-only car insurance and $108 per month for full coverage.
Teens pay quite a bit more, averaging a staggering $192 per month for full coverage.
Wyoming requires all drivers to have 25/50/20 of liability coverage.

Cheapest Car Insurance in Wyoming by Driver and Coverage Type
The auto insurers above are a good starting point, but finding the cheapest Wyoming car insurance depends on your circumstances. The price of your policy will vary based on personal factors like your driving record, age, credit history, and more. That’s why you should compare quotes from several insurers to find the best rates.
The following sections break down the cheapest Wyoming car insurance companies for different drivers and coverage options, according to Compare.com data.
Cheapest state-minimum coverage
Wyoming, like most other states, requires drivers to have auto insurance coverage before getting behind the wheel. But experts recommend buying more than the required state-minimum coverage to protect yourself financially in a car accident.
The average monthly minimum-coverage rate in Wyoming is $56 per month. If you need basic coverage, the table below outlines the five cheapest minimum-coverage insurers, according to Compare.com data.
Average Liability Rates by Company
Cheapest full coverage
Most drivers should consider full-coverage auto insurance because it offers the most comprehensive financial protection. On top of liability insurance, full-coverage policies can include comprehensive, collision, and uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) motorist coverage. If you finance or lease your car, your lender usually requires you to have full coverage.[2]
Wyoming drivers pay an average of $108 per month for car insurance. But even with these higher rates, several insurers offer full coverage for close to the average liability price in Wyoming.
Check out the chart below for the five cheapest full-coverage auto insurers in Wyoming, according to Compare.com data.
Average Full-Coverage Rates by Company
Cheapest for teens
Teen drivers pay some of the highest premiums of any age group. Younger drivers have less experience and take more risks on the road.[3]
The average car insurance rate for teens in Wyoming is $146 per month. While that’s higher than the state average, you can still find a good deal if you shop around and compare auto insurance quotes.
The chart below highlights the five cheapest Wyoming car insurance companies for teens, according to Compare.com data.
Average Rates for Teens
Cheapest for seniors
Senior drivers typically pay some of the cheapest car insurance rates. Older drivers tend to have more driving experience, drive less often, and obey the rules of the road.
Wyoming seniors pay an average of $72 per month for car insurance. But even with these low average rates, you can likely find a better deal if you take the time to shop around and compare quotes.
Below, you’ll find the five cheapest insurance companies in Wyoming for seniors, based on Compare.com data.
Average Rates for Seniors
Cheapest after a ticket
If you get a speeding ticket, your car insurance rates will likely go up the next time your policy renews. Our data shows that even a single speeding ticket can cause average auto insurance rates to increase by 37% nationwide.
The average rate for people with a recent speeding ticket in Wyoming is $94 per month. But traffic violations don’t automatically mean you have to pay more for car insurance.
The chart below shows the five cheapest insurers in Wyoming for people with a recent ticket, according to Compare.com data.
Average Rates With a Ticket
Cheapest after an accident
Causing a car accident can be an expensive mistake, and not just when it comes to repairs. Accidents can cause higher insurance rates, too. Our research shows that even one at-fault accident causes average premiums to increase by 41% nationwide.
In Wyoming, drivers with a recent accident pay an average of $112 per month for car insurance. Still, you can often find cheap car insurance after an accident with one of the five insurers below.
Here are the five cheapest insurers in Wyoming for drivers with a recent accident, according to Compare.com data.

Cheapest after a DUI
A driving under the influence (DUI) conviction causes the biggest increase in insurance rates of all driving violations. Our research shows that average car insurance rates increase by 61% nationwide after a DUI conviction.
In Wyoming, the average monthly rate for a driver with a DUI is $111 per month. But you could still find more affordable options, depending on your circumstances.

Cheapest for bad credit
Wyoming allows insurers to consider your credit history when pricing premiums.

Wyoming drivers with poor credit pay an average of $104 per month for car insurance. But not all companies use credit, and some insurers offer affordable rates regardless of credit history.

Our Rating Compare.com's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The objective formula used in these reviews weighs several important factors to consider when choosing financial products and services, including customer satisfaction ratings, ease of use, and a number of other components. | 4.3 /5 |
Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $103/mo |
Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $171/mo |
Customers appreciate the initial affordability and claim handling but dislike the frequent and unexplained rate increases, as well as the poor customer service.

Progressive offers some of the cheapest liability rates of any car insurance company in Wyoming, according to Compare.com research. The company also offers more than a dozen discount programs, including a good student discount, homeowner discount, paid-in-full discount, and more.
The company could also be a good choice for drivers who want to bundle their home and auto insurance policies. But Progressive ranks below average for customer satisfaction in the Northwest region by J.D. Power.

Dairyland may be a solid choice for Wyoming drivers looking for affordable, no-frills car insurance. The auto insurer stands out for offering competitive rates, especially to high-risk drivers. Dairyland also lets you easily manage your policy or file a claim with its website or mobile app.
That said, Dairyland may not be the right choice for every driver. The company doesn’t offer as many discounts as some of its competitors. And drivers who want the chance to save using a telematics program will have to look elsewhere.

Safeco offers competitive rates for Wyoming drivers shopping for lower insurance rates or basic coverage options. The insurer offers a few standout perks, including a diminishing deductible that rewards safe driving and a cash-back program for staying claims-free.
But Safeco may not work for everyone. The company has an outdated quoting process and low customer satisfaction ratings in the Northwest region. The insurer also doesn’t offer gap insurance coverage, which could be an issue if you’re leasing your vehicle.

Wyoming Auto Insurance Requirements
Like almost every other state, Wyoming requires all drivers to have car insurance. To legally drive in Wyoming, you need to have at least:
$25,000 per person of bodily injury liability coverage
$50,000 per accident of bodily injury liability coverage
$20,000 of property damage liability coverage[8]
Most experts recommend purchasing more than the state’s minimum liability limits. Buying minimum coverage could leave you financially vulnerable if you cause an accident. The average cost of an accident with injuries was $44,000 in 2023, according to the National Safety Council.[9]
Keep in mind that driving without at least state-minimum coverage isn’t only reckless, it’s illegal. Suppose you’re in a car accident in Wyoming that causes more than $1,000 in property damage or injury to anyone outside your immediate household. In that case, you must provide proof of liability insurance. If you can’t, you could have your license suspended.
