Cheapest car insurance companies in Killeen, TX
Insurance companies consider everything from your past driving history and ZIP code to your credit score when calculating your rates.
But each insurance company uses a different internal calculation system to determine the risk for individual drivers. So the same driver can receive two very different quotes from two different companies, which is why it’s so important to compare options.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with bad credit in Killeen, TX
Credit score is one of a number of factors used to determine car insurance rates and coverage options. While a few states have passed laws preventing insurance companies from using credit scores to set insurance rates, Texas is not one of them. In Texas, drivers with lower credit scores will see higher car insurance rates, which makes it all the more important to compare coverage options.

Buying car insurance in Killeen, TX
Texas drivers are required to have $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident in bodily liability coverage. In addition, Texas drivers must have a minimum of $25,000 in property damage liability coverage.
Texas is also an at-fault state (as opposed to a no-fault state). That means that in Texas, the insurance company of the driver responsible for an accident will pay for the damage and injuries to all parties.
How to get cheap car insurance in Killeen, TX
If your car insurance rates seem too high, there are a number of ways to help reduce the total cost.
Find discounts or bundle coverage: Many insurance companies offer discounts or savings for bundling multiple types of coverage at once.
Raise your deductible: Increasing your insurance deductible can decrease your rates, but remember that you actually have to pay your deductible if you use your coverage.
Reshop regularly: Shop around for car insurance yearly, especially if your rates go up at renewal.
Frequently asked questions
What is considered a bad credit score?
Credit scores are on a scale that ranges from 300 to 850. An excellent credit score is 823+, a very good credit score is 795-822, a good credit score is 769-794, a fair credit score is 710-740, and a poor credit score is 524-577. Anything below a 577 is considered very poor.
What kind of violations have the biggest impact on car insurance rates?
Violations like DUI/DWI and driving with an open container are some of the most costly driving violations to have on your MVR. They can also result in loss of driving privileges.
Are there any other factors that can affect my car insurance rates?
Gender is used by car insurance companies as one of many factors (except in states where insurance companies aren’t allowed to consider your gender). However it’s just one of many different variables, so it’s hard to say for sure whether men or women pay more for coverage.

Rates for driving violations and “Poor” credit determined using average rates for a single male 30-year-old driver with a credit score under 578.
Some carriers may be represented by affiliates or subsidiaries. Rates provided are a sample of costs. Your actual quotes may differ.
