Key Takeaways
- National General and Progressive offer cheap car insurance in Georgia, according to Jerry’s data analysis.
- Georgia requires drivers to have a $25,000/$50,000/$25,000 policy at minimum.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage is not required in Georgia.
The cheapest car insurance in Georgia comes from companies like National General and Progressive, according to Jerry’s data analysis.
The average full coverage insurance cost in Georgia is now $418 per month. That’s 20.5% higher than the national average of $340.
When you’re shopping for car insurance, you’ll want to look at your state’s minimum liability coverage instead of just opting for full coverage without shopping around. For minimum liability coverage, drivers in Georgia pay an average of $241 per month.
Let’s take a closer look at how this works.
To find the best car insurance in Georgia, compare car insurance quotes from multiple insurers.
Minimum liability vs. full coverage coverage in Georgia
Georgia’s minimum car insurance requirements are:
- Bodily injury liability of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per incident.
- Property damage liability of $25,000 per incident.
Minimum coverage in Georgia helps cover repair costs and bodily injuries, but with soaring medical and repair costs, policy limits can quickly get maxed out.
Uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage (UIM/UM) is not required to legally drive in the Peach State, but you may want to consider adding this to your policy for added protection. If you fall victim to a hit and run or are involved in a crash caused by an uninsured driver, this coverage will help pay for some of your related expenses.
State mandated minimum liability coverage does not pay for any damage done to your car or property. To better protect your property and financial interests, you’ll need collision coverage and comprehensive coverage.
While not mandated by the state of Georgia, your lender most likely will require you to have full coverage car insurance if you’re financing or leasing your car.

What are collision coverage and comprehensive coverage?
In short, these types of coverage help pay for the harm done to your vehicle and property. A deductible may apply for both.
- Collision coverage helps pay for the damage caused by another vehicle in a collision by covering the costs to repair your car.
- Comprehensive coverage helps pay for damages from theft, weather, vandalism and other damage not cause by another vehicle.
Other coverage add-ons to a policy include car rental coverage for after an accident, windshield glass coverage and 24-hour roadside assistance.
Do you need more than minimum coverage in Georgia?
Full coverage isn't required by law in Georgia. But it still may be wise to have more than just the minimum liability coverage to help protect you from costly repairs, medical bills and legal defense in the event another driver files a claim against you.

Rates vary from driver to driver in Georgia. The cost of your premium will depend on a number of factors like:

- Number of claims you’ve put in.
- Age and gender.

- The vehicle you drive.
- Vehicle usage.
- Deductibles.
