Data: 27 policies • 14 Missouri counties • 2024–2025

Ohio Auto Insurance Key Findings

Based on the sold policies included in this Ohio dataset, the observed average monthly premium is $111.18 per month, with a recorded low of $27.00 and a high of $294.48. That nearly 10x spread shows why comparing insurance companies matters — especially when deciding between liability insurance and full coverage auto insurance. Two drivers in the same state can see very different insurance rates depending on vehicle, driver history, deductible selection, and carrier underwriting appetite.

County-level differences are also visible. Franklin County showed the highest single average monthly premium in this dataset, while Scioto County showed the lowest average among counties with multiple policies. In smaller counties with only one or two policies, a single high-risk or full coverage policy can shift the county average more dramatically. That’s why this report should be read as directional guidance rather than a guaranteed price estimate.

Coverage mix plays a meaningful role in pricing outcomes. Policies categorized as full coverage generally carry higher monthly premiums than liability only or non owners vehicle insurance. Drivers needing sr22 insurance, those with recent violations or accidents, or those searching for the cheapest auto insurance in Ohio should expect wider rate variability. The practical takeaway: compare quotes across multiple insurance companies and align coverage with your actual vehicle ownership and risk profile before selecting a policy.

Guidance

Ways to keep insurance rates lower month to month:

  • Compare quotes across multiple insurance companies.
  • Confirm your goal (liability only vs full coverage).
  • Ask if a non owners policy fits your situation.
  • Choose deductible levels that match your budget, not just the lowest price.
  • Keep proof of insurance and print ID cards after purchase.

What This Ohio Report Shows

This Ohio auto insurance report is based on owned policy data from our agency records — meaning these were sold policies and real monthly premium outcomes, not public filings or generalized price averages. The goal is to help you compare insurance rates by county and understand how coverage choices (like liability insurance, full coverage auto insurance, and non owners options) affect the monthly price.

In this dataset, the observed monthly premium range runs from $27.00/month to $294.48/month. That spread is exactly why we encourage drivers to compare across insurance companies — especially if you’ve had violations, accidents, a recent DUI, or need sr22 insurance. Your vehicle insurance price can shift based on the driver profile, vehicle, garaging, credit, deductible choice, and carrier rules.

If you’re searching terms like “cheapest auto insurance in Ohio for full coverage” or “liability only car insurance in Ohio,” this page is meant to be a reality-based reference: what actual policies have looked like in our book of business, using the same quoting workflow we use for clients by phone and online.

📌 Owned Data / Sold Policies

We track policy outcomes through our policy service process. That means this information read reflects real premiums after purchase, not just an insurance quote screen.

🧪 Methodology (Small Sample Note)

This Ohio report currently summarizes a small dataset. With fewer policies per county, a single high-risk or full coverage policy can move the county average more than it would in a larger dataset. Use county comparisons as guidance, then verify with fresh quotes for your exact driver + vehicle.

✅ How to Use This Page
  • Start with the county bar chart to compare pricing patterns.
  • Use the table to see the low vs high range (helpful for rate shopping).
  • Match coverage type (liability only vs full coverage vs non owners) to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Missouri Auto Insurance

What does auto insurance cost in Missouri based on real sold policies?

From our 27 sold auto policies across 14 Missouri counties in 2024–2025, the average monthly premium is $161.45 with a median of $154.16. Premiums ranged from $41.50 (a single motorcycle policy in Clay County) to $717.39 (a single high-risk full coverage policy in St. Louis County through Geico). The interquartile range runs $85.91 to $181.20 — a reasonable central band for most Missouri drivers in our dataset. Non-owners coverage is the most common product at 48% of our Missouri book, reflecting a compliance-focused client base. St. Louis County is our most data-dense market with 8 policies averaging $242.74, well above the state median and consistent with the St. Louis metro’s higher-cost insurance environment.

What are Missouri’s minimum auto insurance requirements?

Missouri requires 25/50/25 liability coverage: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Missouri is a tort (at-fault) state with no mandatory PIP. Uninsured motorist coverage at 25/50 is required and cannot be waived — an important protection given Missouri’s uninsured driver rate of approximately 14%, one of the higher rates in the Midwest. The mandatory UM requirement gives every Missouri driver baseline protection if struck by an uninsured motorist. Missouri also offers an optional “medical payments” (MedPay) coverage that drivers may add. Missouri’s minimum PDL of $25,000 is somewhat more protective than neighboring states like New Mexico ($10,000) or older minimums that haven’t been updated in decades.

Is auto insurance more expensive in St. Louis than in rural Missouri?

Yes — significantly. St. Louis County averaged $242.74 across 8 policies in our dataset, versus Cape Girardeau County at $130.15 (4 policies) and Bollinger County at $72.38 (2 policies) in rural southeast Missouri. The gap between St. Louis County and rural southeast Missouri is more than 3x in our data. St. Louis’s higher rates reflect the metro’s elevated vehicle theft rates, higher accident frequency on its congested interstate corridors (I-44, I-64, I-70), higher auto repair labor costs, and a more litigation-active injury claims environment. Jackson County (Kansas City area, 3 policies at $159.78) sits at a middle tier. Missouri’s rural Ozarks and Bootheel counties consistently represent the state’s most affordable insurance markets.

How does SR-22 work in Missouri?

Missouri requires SR-22 after DWI (Missouri’s term for impaired driving), reckless driving, driving uninsured in an at-fault accident, or certain license revocation events. The filing period is typically 3 years from license reinstatement. Dairyland handles 12 of our 27 Missouri policies at a median of $85.91 — our most affordable Missouri carrier and particularly strong for non-owners SR-22 compliance. Progressive handles 11 policies at a median of $154.16, covering a broader range including full coverage and standard liability. Both file Missouri SR-22 electronically with the Missouri Department of Revenue (which handles motor vehicle licensing in Missouri, not a separate DMV). Non-owners SR-22 is widely used in Missouri — 13 of our 27 Missouri policies are non-owners, averaging $103.33/month.

Which insurance carriers write Missouri auto policies for high-risk drivers?

Our Missouri book runs through four carriers. Dairyland leads with 12 policies (44%) at a median of $85.91 — specializing in Missouri non-owners and compliance coverage, where it’s typically the most affordable option. Progressive handles 11 policies (41%) across a broader risk spectrum including full coverage and standard liability at a median of $154.16. Mendota covers 3 policies (11%) at Jackson County’s $159.78 average — competitive for the Kansas City non-standard market. Geico appears once with a $717.39 policy — a high-risk full coverage outlier that happens to be the highest single premium in our Missouri dataset. The near-equal split between Dairyland and Progressive makes Missouri one of our most carrier-balanced states — and one where comparing both before purchasing meaningfully impacts the rate you’ll pay.
