Car insurance for a Nissan Versa costs slightly more than for other cars. Versa drivers pay an average monthly rate of $157, compared to $152 for all vehicles. But insurers base your car insurance premiums on many different factors. Your actual rates will depend on things like your vehicle model year, driving history, and insurance company.
The best way to find cheap auto insurance for your Nissan Versa is to compare rates and explore money-saving strategies. This article will cover that and more to help you find the best deal on car insurance.
Mile Auto, GEICO, and Allstate are some of the best insurers for Nissan Versa drivers.
Nissan Versa drivers pay an average monthly rate of $110 for liability coverage and $203 for full-coverage car insurance.
You can save money on your Versa car insurance by taking advantage of discounts, increasing your deductible, and choosing a basic trim level.
How Much Does It Cost to Insure a Nissan Versa?
Your car insurance rates will vary depending on the type of policy you choose. Liability coverage pays for injuries and damages you cause to other drivers, and it’s what most U.S. states require.
A full-coverage policy includes liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage. It protects your car from collision and non-collision incidents, such as natural disasters and theft. Full coverage costs more than a liability-only policy because it offers the most protection, but most experts recommend considering it.
The following table outlines the average monthly costs for liability and full-coverage car insurance for Nissan Versas compared to average rates for all other vehicles, according to Compare.com data.
Vehicle | Average Monthly Premium: Liability | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: All Policies |
---|---|---|---|
Nissan Versa | $110 | $203 | $157 |
All vehicles | $107 | $197 | $152 |
Nissan Versa drivers pay an average rate of $110 per month for liability insurance and $203 for full coverage. But keep in mind that the rates above are just averages. Your personal rate will vary by factors like age, driving history, and location (more on that later).

Understanding the average rates for a Nissan Versa is helpful, but you still have ways to save on car insurance. Let’s start with the cheapest insurers.

Certainly and Mile Auto both top our list for the cheapest average rates for Nissan Versas, with average monthly premiums of $82. But that doesn’t mean either of these companies will be the cheapest option for you.
Different car insurance companies cater to specific demographics, so shopping around and getting quotes from multiple insurers is one of the best ways to find cheap car insurance. Let’s see which companies are best for certain types of drivers.
The Best Insurance Companies for Nissan Versa Drivers
No car insurance company will be the best company for everyone because every driver has unique needs. That said, certain insurers stand out for a combination of average rates, available discounts, customer reviews, and coverage options.
Here are the best companies for three types of Nissan Versa drivers.
Mile Auto: Best for low-mileage drivers

If you don’t drive often, Mile Auto is a great option. It offers pay-per-mile insurance tailored specifically for low-mileage drivers. When you sign up, you’ll pay a low monthly base rate and a per-mile rate based on how much you drove the previous month.
Unlike similar companies, Mile Auto doesn’t require you to install a tracking device in your vehicle. Instead, you’ll submit a photo of your odometer each month.

Nissan Versa Insurance Rates by Age
Age is one of the most important rating factors for car insurance. Teen drivers pay the highest rates for car insurance due to their lack of driving history and higher risk of car accidents. But your car insurance costs will gradually decrease with age and experience.
Let’s take a look at how average premiums vary across different age groups, according to our data.
Age Group | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Teens | $295 | Certainly | $153 |
Adults | $144 | Certainly | $75 |
Seniors | $121 | Certainly | $63 |
Average monthly premiums drop substantially once you reach your 20s and 30s, with senior Versa drivers paying the lowest rates overall. Notably, Certainly is the cheapest option for Versa owners in each age group.
Nissan Versa Insurance Rates by Driving Record
Your driving record also significantly affects your car insurance rates. If you have violations on your record, insurers will consider you a higher risk to insure and charge you more for coverage. Maintaining a clean driving record is one of the best ways to keep your monthly premiums low.
The following table outlines what you can expect to pay based on driving records and the cheapest insurers for each, according to Compare.com data.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Clean record | $157 | Certainly | $82 |
Speeding ticket | $218 | Certainly | $113 |
At-fault accident | $227 | Certainly | $118 |
DUI | $258 | Certainly | $134 |
Your premiums increase significantly after each driving incident, but Versa drivers with a DUI conviction pay an average of 64% more for insurance.
Certainly offers the cheapest rates for each group.
Nissan Versa Features and Options That Affect Insurance Rates
Your auto insurance rates can also change based on specific features in your vehicle. Fortunately, the Versa is a pretty budget-friendly car, but here are some of the features and options that could affect your insurance costs:
Trim level: The Versa has three different trim levels: the S, SV, and SR. Choosing the entry-level S trim will help lower your insurance costs since the replacement costs are lower.[5]
Safety features: Certain vehicle safety features — like blind-spot monitoring or keyless entry — may qualify you for a discount with your insurance company. If your car has a high safety rating, you may also qualify for lower rates.
Horsepower: Vehicles with higher horsepower mean faster speed and an increased likelihood of car accidents. Insurers tend to charge higher premiums. Fortunately, the Versa has 122 horsepower, which is relatively low, and it doesn’t accelerate as quickly as other vehicles.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Nissan Versa
Here are five ways to find cheap car insurance for your Nissan Versa.[6]
Choose a Versa loaded with safety features. Many insurers will offer you a discount if your vehicle has certain safety features. So, when shopping around, look for a Nissan Versa with features such as emergency braking and lane-departure warning.
Increase your deductible. When you file an insurance claim, you’ll pay your deductible first, and your insurer will cover the remaining costs. Choosing a higher deductible can be a good way to lower your monthly premiums. Just be sure that you choose one you can afford to pay out of pocket.
Take advantage of low-mileage discounts. If you don’t drive much, you might qualify for a low-mileage discount from your insurer. You may also be able to save money with pay-per-mile insurance.
Maintain a clean driving record. Demonstrating good driving behaviors is the best way to lower your insurance costs. Your insurer may be willing to give you a discount if you remain accident-free for a certain number of years.
Compare quotes often. Get car insurance quotes from at least three different insurance companies and compare the offers you receive. Comparing quotes is the best way to find cheap car insurance that meets your coverage needs.
