On average, liability car insurance costs 51% less per year than full coverage insurance, which usually includes liability along with collision and comprehensive coverage. Liability car insurance only covers expenses incurred by other people in accidents where the policyholder is at fault. Nearly every state requires drivers to carry it, though most states require other types of coverage as well.
Liability Car Insurance Costs by Coverage Level
Liability coverage limits | Average monthly cost |
25K/50K/10K | $56.25 |
50K/100K/25K | $60.25 |
100K/300K/500K | $64.50 |
How much liability car insurance you purchase will be the main factor that influences your premium. Each state has its own coverage requirements, which can vary widely. For example, Alaska requires drivers to purchase $100,000 in bodily injury liability coverage per accident, while Arizona only requires $30,000.
