Cheapest car insurance for drivers with bad credit in Beaumont, TX

There are only a few states that prohibit insurance companies from using credit score as a factor when determining insurance rates. Texas is not one of those states, so car insurance companies in Texas can and do use credit scores as one of many factors in setting prices. 

Drivers with low credit scores can expect to pay higher rates, but some companies are friendlier to drivers with poor credit than others.

Buying car insurance in Beaumont, TX

The minimum requirements for car insurance in the state of Texas are a 30/60/25 breakdown. This means Texas drivers are required to have an insurance policy that covers at least $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident in bodily liability coverage, and a minimum of $25,000 in property damage liability coverage. 

Texas does not require drivers to have additional coverage like uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. These additional coverages may be necessary, but they are not mandatory.

Additionally, Texas is an at-fault state. That means the insurance company of the driver responsible for an accident will pay for the damage and injuries for all parties.
