These Murfreesboro rates apply to a full-coverage policy for a sample 40-year-old male driver. Our methodology page offers more insight into this analysis.

Full coverage costs significantly more than a policy that only meets state minimums. A full-coverage policy, however, also includes the following coverages:

• Collision Insurance: This coverage protects against paying for collision damages with other vehicles or stationary objects.
• Comprehensive Insurance: This insurance provides coverage for damages related to theft, vandalism, hail and natural disasters.

Paying more for full coverage can save you money in the long run. However, a driver with an older vehicle may benefit from state-minimum coverage, as a full-coverage policy's cost may exceed the value of the vehicle itself.

Cheapest Minimum Liability Car Insurance in Murfreesboro

A state-minimum policy allows you to drive with the legally required amount of coverage without breaking the bank. However, since every driver’s profile and needs are unique, minimum coverage might not protect you in case of financial emergency.

In Tennessee, the minimum liability coverage required is 25/50/15, which covers different types of damages per accident. For example, if you caused serious injuries totaling $60,000, your insurance provider will pay $50,000, leaving you to pay the remaining $10,000 out of pocket.

• Cheapest After a DUI: Progressive, $702 per year

If you have a military background, you can save a lot by taking advantage of USAA’s exclusive offers. The average cost for drivers with a speeding ticket on their records is $644 per year, while policies for an individual with an at-fault accident average $774 per year.

If you have committed these violations in Tennessee, they can appear on your motor vehicle record for a minimum of three years. Finding the cheapest policies after a violation by comparing quotes from different companies can help you save a lot on your annual premiums in the meantime.

Geek Quick Take

Erie has a perfect claims score and tied first in terms of customer satisfaction. A full coverage policy costs an average of $690 per year, and the insurer offers an add-on for better car replacement coverage that is not often seen with other insurance companies.

More About Erie

Erie’s better car replacement coverage, also called auto security, will replace your car with the newest model year if it gets totaled and you have had it for less than two years. If you’ve had your car longer than two years, you’ll get a model that is two years newer. Another add-on is accident forgiveness coverage, which means that after three claim-free years with Erie, your annual premium will not increase the first time you’re at fault in an accident.

You can use ZIP codes to compare insurance rates in different areas in Tennessee because prices vary depending on your location. Your postal code allows insurers to determine your neighborhood’s level of risk. If car accidents or auto thefts are common in your area, you will likely pay higher rates.

Drivers with a 37129 postal code pay about $801 per year for car insurance, while those in the 37130 ZIP pay $6 more on average

In addition to individual driver needs and history, location-specific factors like the percentage of uninsured motorists and the rate of fatal accidents also contribute to car insurance rates in Murfreesboro.
