Wyoming drivers pay an average of $77 per month for auto insurance, according to Compare.com data. That’s less than the national average, partly because it’s the least populated state in the country.[1]
But your insurance rates can vary — sometimes dramatically. Some insurance companies even offer rates well below the state average.
We’ll tell you how to find the cheapest car insurance companies in Wyoming for different driver types and how to pick the right insurer. We’ll also give you tips on how to save money on your car insurance.
The cheapest insurance company in Wyoming, USAA, has an average liability insurance rate of $25 per month.
Wyoming drivers pay an average of $55 per month for liability-only car insurance and $99 per month for full coverage.
Progressive, Dairyland, and Safeco are three of the top car insurance companies in Wyoming.

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 |

Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events.

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 car insurance 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.

How Much Car Insurance Do You Need In Wyoming?
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[5]
Full-coverage insurance includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage. It extends coverage beyond the state’s minimum required coverage and protects your vehicle in the event of a car accident, severe weather, and more.
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.[6]
That said, you may not need a full-coverage policy if you drive an old, low-value vehicle or if you can afford to cover out-of-pocket vehicle repair or replacement costs.
You may want to consider the following optional car insurance coverages for more protection:
Collision
If you have a car accident or collide with a pole, collision insurance can help pay to repair or replace your vehicle.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive insurance covers vehicle damage or loss that doesn’t occur during an accident, such as from severe weather, falling objects, vandalism, and theft.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM)
UM/UIM insurance can help cover your damage and injuries if you have an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
Roadside assistance
You can purchase a roadside assistance add-on, which can come in handy if you need a jump-start, tire change, tow, or other services.
Gap
If you total your car, gap insurance can pay the difference between your car’s value and what you still owe on your vehicle loan or lease.[7]
