The Save & Drive Pod Doesn't Save Much

Not sure where to place the Drive Safe app on the fob in the vehicle. One month I save a little, the next month it's up again. I don't drive every day like most. I'm retired and have this new truck, which I don't see ever putting on the national average miles. I may drive it once or twice a month. Yet my savings don't reflect that. I've been insured with State Farm since I was 17. I'm 62. I should be saving a lot more.

Why we picked this company

Allstate may be a good option for BMW X3 drivers who want flexibility and the ability to customize their auto insurance. The insurer offers a wide selection of coverage options, including rideshare insurance, extended warranty protection, and rental reimbursement.

Safe drivers can earn savings through Allstate’s Drivewise program, while low-mileage drivers can save through its Milewise pay-per-mile insurance. That said, Allstate’s poor customer ratings may be a drawback for some drivers.

Pros
  • Superior financial strength ratings[3]

  • Many available coverage options

  • Pay-per-mile coverage available

Cons
  • Poor Trustpilot rating[4]

  • Low customer satisfaction

  • Below-average claims rating

BMW X3 Insurance Rates by State

Car insurance costs vary depending on where you live due to various factors. The repair costs, crime rates, and number of uninsured drivers can influence how much car insurance costs in your state.

Beyond your location, insurance companies will also focus on the risks you pose as a driver. Insurers typically consider driver age when setting premiums, which you can learn more about below.

BMW X3 Insurance Rates by Age

Auto insurance companies will look at your age when determining your X3 premiums. That’s because research shows a link between driving experience, age, and car accidents.[6]

For example, teens with less experience on the road typically pay higher costs than middle-aged drivers. But as you get older and gain more experience behind the wheel, your rate will typically decrease.

Here’s a look at X3 car insurance costs by age group, according to Compare.com data.

We sourced this data by analyzing real quotes from Compare.com's 100-plus partner insurance companies alongside rate filings collected and distributed by Quadrant Information Services. Actual quotes may vary. Data updated on {{lastUpdated}}.

Teens with a BMW X3 pay $328 per month for an auto policy, on average. But the cost of car insurance should typically decrease as you enter your 20s and 30s. Your premiums will typically continue to go down each year until you hit age 70, when rates will start to tick back up.7

Cheapest BMW X3 car insurance for teens and drivers younger than 25 

Teens and drivers under 25 usually pay the highest rates for BMW X3 insurance because they’re statistically more likely to get into a crash. Although young drivers aged 15 and 20 make up only about 5% of licensed drivers, they account for 12% of drivers in all crashes and nearly 9% in fatal accidents.[7] 

Some insurers weigh age more heavily than others, so comparing companies can help lower costs. Here’s a look at the cheapest insurers for X3 drivers younger than 25, according to our data.

Cheapest Rates for Young Drivers

Cheapest BMW X3 car insurance for seniors 

Seniors often pay less to insure a BMW X3 because older drivers tend to get into fewer accidents than younger age groups. Many insurers offer senior-specific discounts for mature drivers, especially those with a clean driving record. Comparing companies can also help you get the lowest possible premium. 

The table below shows the cheapest insurance companies for senior X3 drivers, according to our data.

Cheapest Rates for Seniors

BMW X3 Insurance Rates by Driving Record

Your driving record is one of the primary factors insurers use to determine your insurance premium. That’s because accidents, tickets, and driving under the influence (DUI) are signs you’re more likely to file a claim and cost the company money. For example, the average rate increase after a speeding ticket is 34%, while a DUI conviction can raise rates by roughly 68%.

The table below outlines the average monthly insurance costs for BMW X3 owners with different driving records, according to Compare.com data.

Cheapest BMW X3 insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket

You’ll likely see your BMW X3 insurance rates go up after a speeding ticket, since it’s a sign of higher crash risk. More serious violations, such as excessive speeding, can lead to larger rate hikes because they increase both the likelihood and severity of a crash.[8]

That said, how insurers classify violations and weigh speeding tickets varies by company. Comparing quotes from several insurers can lead to more affordable premiums. The table below shows which companies offer the cheapest BMW X3 insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket, according to Compare.com data.

Cheapest Rates With a Ticket

Cheapest BMW X3 insurance for drivers with an accident 

Any claim you file can raise your BMW X3 insurance costs, but if you cause the accident, you’ll probably pay even higher rates. Premium increases usually stay on your policy for several years after the rate change.

But insurance pricing varies by company, so shopping around for coverage can help reduce your rates after an at-fault accident. Here are five insurers with the cheapest rates for X3 drivers with an at-fault accident on their record, according to our data. 

Cheapest Rates With an Accident

Cheapest BMW X3 insurance for drivers with a DUI 

Drivers with a DUI conviction face the highest rate increases of any driving infraction because it greatly increases the risk of a serious crash. Drunk driving kills one person every 42 minutes in the U.S., or around 34 people per day.[9]

Some insurers specialize in insurance for high-risk drivers, so it’s worth comparing quotes to see if you can get a cheaper rate. Check out the table below for the cheapest insurers for BMW X3 drivers with a DUI conviction, according to Compare.com data.

Deep Dive: What Affects BMW X3 Car Insurance Rates? 

The price you pay to insure a BMW X3 depends on the features and options available on your vehicle. Below are key factors insurers consider:

  • Luxury classification: As a compact luxury SUV, the X3 typically costs more to insure than a standard SUV.

  • Vehicle value and replacement cost: A 2026 BMW X3 starts at $52,075 and includes luxury components and expensive parts, which raises the cost to replace or repair it after a crash, as well as your insurance rates.

  • Trim level: The 2026 X3 M50 is priced at $67,075 and features a larger engine and towing capacity. If you buy the more expensive trim, you’ll pay higher insurance premiums.

  • Safety features and ratings: Standard safety features and above-average crash test ratings help lower X3 insurance costs. 

How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your BMW X3

A white BMW SUV parked on a street, surrounded by greenery and a stone wall in the background.You can find ways to save money on your coverage regardless of your driving record, age, and other factors. The following tips can help you land a good deal on your X3 auto policy:

  • Opt for a lower-level trim. If you choose the X3 xDrive30 instead of the X3 M50 xDrive, you’ll have fewer special features, but you’ll likely lower your car insurance costs. 

  • Look for discounts. Most auto insurance companies offer discounts to lower your rates. Look for auto-pay, defensive driver, and bundling discounts.

  • Increase your deductible. With a higher deductible, you’ll secure cheaper premiums. Just be sure you have the funds to pay for the larger out-of-pocket expenses after filing a claim.

  • Shop around. Do your research and get car insurance quotes regularly from at least three different insurers. Then, compare rates, coverage options, customer service reviews, and more to find the right plan for your X3.
