Which insurers cost the least in Iowa

Iowa publishes no insurer price comparison, so you can't rank every company there from official figures. On average, the cheapest legal policy costs $427 a year, or about $36 a month (NAIC).

Get the same limits and deductibles quoted by at least three insurers. Direct writers, local agents and regional companies often quote very different prices for a single driver.

Ways to spend less

  • Keep the state minimum only on an old car you could replace with cash: dropping collision and comprehensive saves $706 a year on the Iowa average.
  • Raise your deductible, and what you save in a year often beats the extra amount one claim adds.
  • Request every discount by name: bundling home and auto, safe-driving apps, good student, multi-car, paying in full.
  • Compare prices again each time your policy renews. If your price goes up, that doesn't mean other companies did too.
