Despite the higher-than-average rates in Vegas, it’s still possible to find deals on coverage. Policygenius can show you quotes from top car insurance companies so you can find a policy that fits your needs and your budget.

Key takeaways

  • Our analysis found that GEICO has the cheapest average rates for full coverage car insurance in Las Vegas.

  • Driving with a suspended license or a DUI will raise your insurance rates more than any other violation, sometimes by thousands of dollars a year.

  • Nevada requires at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage of $20,000.

  • Nevada drivers are also required to have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Methodology & why you can trust our rates

Policygenius has analyzed car insurance rates provided by Quadrant Information Services for every ZIP code in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. For full coverage policies, the following coverage limits were used:

  • Bodily injury liability: 50/100

  • Property damage liability: $50,000

  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist: 50/100

  • Comprehensive: $500 deductible

  • Collision: $500 deductible

In some cases, additional coverages were added where required by state or insurer.

Rates for overall average rate, rates by ZIP code, and cheapest companies determined using averages for single drivers ages 30, 35, and 45. Our sample vehicle was a 2017 Toyota Camry LE driven 10,000 miles/year.

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.

Buying car insurance in Las Vegas, NV

All drivers in Las Vegas must have the minimum amount of car insurance coverage required by law in Nevada, which is:

  • Bodily injury liability coverage per person: $25,000

  • Bodily injury liability coverage per accident: $50,000

  • Property damage liability coverage: $20,000

Nevada is an at-fault state, meaning that the insurance company of the driver determined to be at fault for an accident will pay for the other party’s repair bills and medical expenses, up to the limits of the policy. That’s why it’s so important to set high liability limits, to make sure you’re fully protected if you cause an expensive accident.
