Car insurance for the Cadillac CTS costs less than the national average for all vehicles, at $157 per month.
USAA is the cheapest insurer for the Cadillac CTS, with average premiums around $78 per month.
Even though the CTS is a luxury vehicle, its value has decreased since it’s no longer in production, which helps keep its insurance rates near the national average.
Average Car Insurance Cost for the Cadillac CTS
How much you’ll pay for Cadillac CTS insurance depends on the type of policy you choose. Liability-only policies meet state requirements and cover damages and injuries you cause to others.

CTS drivers pay around $109 per month for liability insurance and $204 per month for full coverage, which is slightly less than the national average for all vehicles.
Now, let’s take a look at how factors like driver profile, location, vehicle age, and insurer choice can affect Cadillac CTS insurance costs.

Cadillac CTS Insurance Rates by Model Year
Generally, the more your vehicle is worth, the higher your premiums will be. That means newer Cadillac CTS models typically cost more to insure than older ones. As your car loses value over time, insurers face less financial risk if someone steals it or you total it, which translates to lower rates for you.
Our data shows how insurance costs decrease as your CTS ages. You’ll notice premiums drop steadily from newer to older model years.

Cadillac CTS Insurance Rates by State
Where you live makes a huge difference in what you’ll pay for car insurance. Each state sets its own minimum coverage requirements, and that’s just the starting point.
Insurance companies also look at things like how often people sue after accidents in your state, the cost of medical care in your area, and how much body shops charge for repairs. Companies also consider weather risks and fraud rates. If you’re in a busy urban area with lots of traffic, you can expect higher rates.[2]

Cadillac CTS Insurance Rates by Driver Age
Your driving experience matters when it comes to insurance costs. For example, teens face higher crash rates than any other age group, which translates directly to higher premiums.
As you gain more years behind the wheel, insurers will recognize your improved safety record and reward you with lower rates. Seniors, who have lower crash rates and drive the least, generally pay the lowest premiums.
Check out our breakdown of CTS insurance costs by age group in the table below, according to Compare.com data.
Age Group | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| Teens | $302 |
| Adults | $149 |
| Seniors | $133 |
Cheapest Cadillac CTS car insurance for teens and drivers younger than 25
Insuring your teen’s Cadillac CTS costs more because young drivers face higher crash risks. Teen drivers account for nearly 9% of all accidents, despite representing just less than 4% of the driving population.[3] They’re also more likely to underestimate dangerous situations and make critical errors that lead to serious crashes.[4]
Here are the cheapest car insurance companies for young Cadillac CTS drivers, based on our research.
Cheapest Rates for Young Drivers
Cheapest Cadillac CTS car insurance for seniors
You’ll pay lower rates for your Cadillac CTS as a senior driver. Drivers older than 55 tend to be more courteous, obey speed limits, and follow traffic rules more consistently. Many retirees also drive fewer miles than when they commuted to work daily.[5] Seniors often take safer routes and avoid challenging conditions like rush hour or bad weather.
The chart below highlights the five most affordable insurers for senior Cadillac CTS drivers, according to our data.
Cheapest Rates for Seniors
Cadillac CTS Insurance Rates by Driving Record
Your driving record directly affects what you’ll pay for Cadillac CTS insurance. Companies review your record to determine if you have a history of traffic tickets and accidents when setting your premium, as it helps predict future claims.[6]
Some companies specialize in high-risk coverage, so you can still find affordable insurance even with a less-than-perfect record.
The table below shows how various driving records can affect your Cadillac CTS premium, according to Compare.com data.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Premium |
|---|---|
| Clean record | $157 |
| Speeding ticket | $210 |
| At-fault accident | $224 |
| DUI | $252 |
A driving under the influence (DUI) conviction will cost you about $95 more per month than a clean record — that’s more than $1,100 extra each year. Even a single speeding ticket adds roughly $53 to your monthly bill.
Cheapest Cadillac CTS insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket
A speeding ticket signals to insurance companies that you take risks behind the wheel. Speeding reduces your reaction time, extends your stopping distance, and increases the severity of crashes. Companies review traffic violations when calculating your premium, and more serious speeding offenses result in steeper rate increases.
Here’s what drivers pay for Cadillac CTS coverage with a speeding ticket, according to our data.
Cheapest Rates With a Speeding Ticket
Cheapest Cadillac CTS insurance for drivers with an accident
An at-fault accident increases your rates because it shows insurers you’re more likely to file future claims. When you file a claim after causing an accident, companies typically raise your premium by a certain percentage. These increases usually stay on your policy for three years after the accident.[7]
The chart below lists the cheapest companies for Cadillac CTS drivers with an at-fault accident, according to Compare.com data.
Cheapest Rates With an Accident
Cheapest Cadillac CTS insurance for drivers with a DUI
Drinking and driving is a serious crime in every state. That’s because a blood alcohol content of 0.08% makes you four times more likely to crash than a sober driver.[8] A DUI will also significantly increase your car insurance premium.
If you have a DUI conviction, your state may require you to file an SR-22 or FR-44 form, which proves you maintain the minimum insurance coverage. Many standard insurers won’t cover drivers with a DUI on their record, forcing them into non-standard or high-risk policies that cost significantly more.
Let’s take a look at the cheapest insurers and the average monthly premiums for Cadillac CTS drivers with a DUI, according to our data.
Cheapest Rates With a DUI
Deep Dive: What Affects Cadillac CTS Car Insurance Rates
Your Cadillac’s features and options can affect the cost of insurance. Keep the following in mind when looking for coverage for your Cadillac CTS:
Luxury status: The Cadillac CTS is a luxury midsize sedan, which requires higher-quality parts for repairs. Insurers typically charge more for luxury vehicles because claim payouts are often higher for these models compared to budget-friendly ones.
Vehicle value and trim level: Depending on condition, trim level, and location, a used CTS can cost from $4,000 to more than $50,000 for premium and V trims, according to Kelley Blue Book. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) and luxury features factor into insurance costs.[9]
Safety features and ratings: The CTS earns decent safety ratings, but features are only standard on Luxury and above trims, which could lead to higher insurance rates and prevent lower trim levels from qualifying for a safety feature discount.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Cadillac CTS
)
Here are some tips to help you get cheaper Cadillac CTS car insurance:
Add an anti-theft device. If you add anti-theft systems, such as VIN etching and vehicle recovery systems, it can help qualify you for an anti-theft device discount.
Consider liability-only coverage. If you have an older CTS model you can afford to fix or replace, you may not need a full-coverage policy.
Bundle your policies. Bundling your CTS car insurance with renters or home insurance could lead to significant savings with a multi-policy discount.
Compare car insurance quotes. Get multiple quotes to compare companies and rates to get the best deal on your CTS insurance policy.
Cadillac CTS Auto Insurance FAQs
Insuring a luxury sedan like the Cadillac CTS raises unique questions about coverage, costs, and how to protect your investment. The answers below can help you make smart decisions about your policy.
Is the Cadillac CTS expensive to insure?
No. For a luxury sedan, the CTS is relatively inexpensive to insure. The average monthly premium for CTS drivers is $157, compared to the overall average for all vehicles of $164, according to our data.
What’s the cheapest insurance company for a Cadillac CTS?
USAA consistently has the lowest rates for CTS drivers, but you can only buy from this insurer if you’re a member of the military community or a family member of one. You can also find affordable rates with State Farm, averaging $93 per month, and Allstate, at $103 per month.
How much is car insurance for a 2025 Cadillac CTS?
Cadillac discontinued the CTS in 2019, so there’s no 2025 model available. That said, insurance for the 2019 CTS averages $170 per month.
What coverage do you need for a Cadillac CTS?
You’ll need to buy at least your state’s required amount of liability coverage, and purchasing higher limits is usually a good idea. Insurance professionals warn that state minimums may not be enough to cover damages if you’re responsible for totaling someone’s vehicle.
And if you finance or lease your CTS, your lender will require you to buy full coverage to cover potential damages to your vehicle.
