Wyoming Car Insurance Calculators: Cost & Coverage


What Affects Your Wyoming Car Insurance Rate Estimate?

Two things affect your Wyoming car insurance cost more than anything else: which insurance company you choose, and your credit score range. Switching from the most expensive company to the cheapest saves $66 a month. If your credit is poor, you're paying $306 more a month than someone with good credit, which is $3,672 a year for the same coverage.

At four of the five insurance companies in Wyoming, having excellent credit actually costs more than having good credit. These companies charge their lowest rates to good-credit drivers, not excellent-credit drivers. If your credit is good, improving it will likely cost you money in Wyoming.

Why You Got Your Specific Coverage Recommendations

Your coverage recommendation is based on Wyoming's actual laws and your situation.

  1. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage appears in every Wyoming recommendation because Wyoming law requires it. Wyoming Statutes section 31-10-101 requires this coverage on every car insurance policy in the state. You'd have to sign a form specifically saying you don't want it. Wyoming has one of the lowest rates of uninsured drivers in the country. About 6.7% of drivers carry no insurance at all. The recommendation includes this coverage because the law requires it, not because Wyoming has a lot of uninsured drivers.
  2. The coverage amounts in your recommendation are higher than Wyoming's legal minimums because the minimums are not enough for a real crash. Wyoming's minimum pays $25,000 per person for injuries. It also pays up to $50,000 per crash for injuries and $20,000 for damage to property. Medical costs in a serious injury crash can exceed $25,000 quickly. A crash involving more than one car can easily cost more than $50,000 total. If you have a car loan, your bank will require full coverage no matter what the state minimum is.
  3. Wyoming is an at-fault state. If a judge awards more than your policy covers, you pay the rest out of your own pocket. Buy a policy that covers at least as much as the total value of what you own.

Wyoming Car Insurance Calculator: Bottom Line & Next Steps

Three of Wyoming's four most important rate decisions can't be researched on a national comparison website. The insurance company that covers nearly 1 in 10 Wyoming drivers can only be reached through a local agent. You can't get their price online. Excellent credit costs more than good credit at four of five Wyoming insurers. The birthday most worth getting new quotes is 19, not 25.

Excellent credit costs $48 a month more than good credit at most Wyoming insurers. Standard advice says improve your credit to lower your rate. In Wyoming, that advice is wrong. If you have a drunk driving conviction, State Farm will insure you at $77 a month right now, $68 less than the average Wyoming insurer charges for the same driver. Most drivers with a DUI never check.
