Average Car Insurance Cost for the BMW X1

The average cost of BMW X1 car insurance depends heavily on the policy type you choose. Liability-only coverage pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others. Full-coverage policies add collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision pays for damage to your X1 after a crash, while comprehensive covers non-collision losses, like fire damage, theft, and weather damage.

They have significantly increased rates over the last few years. I have excellent credit, a clean driving record, and no claims, yet rates increased again this renewal by another $160 per 6 months. My rate has increased over $400 in the last 18 months to now $1562.68 for 6 months.

Our experience with USAA was horrendous. We lost our home to Hurricane Beryl. Having been a member for 27 years and never making any claims, this experience was indescribable. USAA, to whom we had paid $410.36 for years, had me doing their job. No tickets, no DUI, and a 20-year-old driver. That is too expensive for anyone. After Beryl, there was no power, which meant no electricity, no internet, no open stores, no food, and no gas. By the beginning of the second month, USAA tried to make Texas Wind and Air responsible, then FEMA, for paying for the broken roof, fallen trees, flooded home, and damaged AC. We decided to pack up and move on our own dime again. USAA is and always will be a ripoff. Very expensive to be a USAA member. Never again. We are just fine with AAA. Personally, the old ways of taking care of folks with insurance are only found and available with AAA. USAA has not stopped offering me a job with their claims department since Hurricane Beryl, though. I must know what I am doing better than my agent, who got fired for drinking and falsifying claims documents. There's more to the storyline with USAA. Plan on having to call them constantly to make sure they are at work.

Why we picked this company

USAA exclusively serves the military community and offers some of the lowest rates on a BMW X1 for qualifying members. You can save even more with discounts for being accident-free, completing a defensive driving course, and being a loyal USAA member. The insurer has limited customer service hours but makes up for it with a highly rated mobile app.

Pros
  • Offers many other insurance products for bundling

  • Ranked No. 1 for auto insurance satisfaction

Cons
  • Gap insurance not available

  • Offers fewer discounts than competitors

Currently Disgruntled with State Farm Insurance
Reviewed in Oregon on December 2025
Due to State Farm also being our homeowner insurance, and due to them canceling our homeowner insurance and the emotional effect of this cancellation, we are not too happy with State Farm. When pricing other home insurance providers, we learned from these potential providers that we were paying considerably higher for our State Farm car insurance than other insurance companies. Thus, if I were to advise a friend regarding State Farm, I would tell them my experience was that I found much cheaper car insurance with other providers. However, the agent LuAnn Davidson, our State Farm agent, on four different occasions went to bat for us (took our side) when we had issues with State Farm and caused the issue to be resolved in our favor. We were with State Farm for more than 10 years. I would advise my friend if you are going with State Farm, have LuAnn be your agent.

BMW X1 Insurance Rates by Model Year

The age of your X1 can affect your insurance premium. Newer vehicles typically cost more to repair or replace, and older models may lack the latest safety features that help lower rates. For X1 drivers, that often means higher car insurance rates for newer model years and costs that gradually decline as the vehicle ages.

The following table shows how BMW X1 insurance rates vary by model year, according to our data.

BMW X1 Insurance Rates by Driver Age

Your age plays a big role in your BMW X1 car insurance costs because insurers link experience to risk. Teens pay more because they lack experience and are riskier behind the wheel.[2] Seniors, on the other hand, are usually safer drivers with decades of experience, so they pay less.[3]

Check out the table below for average X1 premiums by age group. Teens pay around 128% more for auto insurance than seniors, according to our data.

Cheapest BMW X1 car insurance for teens and drivers younger than 25

Teens and drivers younger than 25 generally pay the most to insure a BMW X1 because they face a higher risk of getting into accidents. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of preventable death for young drivers.[4] The more likely you are to get into an accident, the more you’ll pay for car insurance.

But rates vary by insurer, so comparing insurance companies can help you find the best price. Here’s a look at the cheapest insurers for X1 drivers younger than 25, based on our data.

Cheapest Rates for Young Drivers

Cheapest BMW X1 car insurance for seniors

BMW X1 car insurance costs are usually the cheapest for seniors because they tend to have fewer accidents than younger drivers. You may get even lower rates by shopping around and comparing insurance quotes from multiple companies. Check for insurers offering senior-specific discounts for more ways to save.

We break down the cheapest car insurance companies for senior X1 drivers in the chart below, based on Compare.com data.

BMW X1 Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Insurers look at your driving history for accidents, tickets, and driving under the influence (DUI) convictions because they signal a future claim risk. Though increases vary by severity and insurer, expect to pay higher rates for at least three years after causing an accident, getting a speeding ticket, or being convicted of a DUI.[5]

Let’s take a look at how premiums change depending on your driving record, according to Compare.com data.

Average premiums jump by roughly 33% after a speeding ticket and about 60% after a DUI conviction, so it’s important to drive safely.

Cheapest BMW X1 insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket

Insurance companies charge more if you have a speeding ticket on your record because it raises your crash risk. Speeding lengthens the distance needed to stop, shortens reaction time, and limits how well barriers like guardrails and crash cushions protect you in an accident.[6]

Some insurers may put less weight on tickets than others, so comparing multiple quotes can help limit higher premiums. The following chart shows which companies offer the lowest rates for BMW X1 drivers with a recent speeding ticket, based on our data.

Cheapest Rates With a Speeding Ticket

Cheapest BMW X1 insurance for drivers with an accident

Your rates will likely increase at your next renewal after an accident, because past behavior predicts future claims. How accidents affect rates varies by company, so getting free quotes to compare premiums after an at-fault accident could help you avoid a large rate increase.[7]

For a list of the cheapest insurance companies for BMW X1 drivers after an at-fault accident, check out the chart below, which is based on Compare.com data.

Cheapest Rates With an Accident

Cheapest BMW X1 insurance for drivers with a DUI

Drivers with a DUI face the highest BMW X1 insurance rates because alcohol-impaired driving greatly increases crash risk, even after one drink. In 2023, about 16% of fatal crashes were caused by drivers who tested positive for alcohol but still had a BAC below the legal limit of 0.08.[8] Insurers may not renew your insurance policy after a DUI.

That said, some insurers are more tolerant of high-risk drivers than others. Below is a chart showing the companies with the lowest rates for X1 drivers with a DUI, based on Compare.com data.

  • Vehicle classification: The BMW X1 is a luxury SUV with costly parts and often requires specialty repair shops. Insurers expect higher claim payouts, so you’ll pay more to insure an X1.

  • Trim level: The base X1 xDrive28i starts at $43,975, but the M Sport package has an MSRP of $53,075. The higher cost, more powerful engine, and upgraded features will raise your insurance premiums.

  • Safety features: The X1 comes standard with safety features like blind-spot alert, airbags, and lane-departure warnings, which help reduce accident risk and lower your insurance costs.

Here are a few tips to help you get cheaper car insurance for your BMW X1:

  • Shop around for car insurance quotes. Compare quotes from multiple insurers to find the best rate for your X1.

  • Raise your deductible. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your monthly premium — just be sure you can cover the amount if you file a claim.

  • Check for discounts. Most insurers offer discounts for things like a clean driving record, good credit, and safety features on your X1.

  • Evaluate your coverage needs. It’s a good idea to have high enough coverage limits to protect your assets. Consider optional extras like gap insurance, which helps cover the difference if you total your X1 and owe more than it’s worth.
