The Nevada Automobile Insurance Plan (NAIP) serves drivers turned down by voluntary market insurers. The program assigns eligible drivers to participating insurers at state-regulated rates higher than voluntary market premiums. You must have been denied coverage by at least one insurer to qualify. Apply through a licensed insurance agent with proof of denial from standard insurers.
COUNTRY Financial offers Nevada's most affordable minimum coverage at $79 per month for drivers with poor credit, with Travelers at $82 and GEICO at $84.

How to Lower Family Premiums
Nevada drivers can lower their auto insurance expenses with these practical approaches:
Get quotes from at least three standard insurers before applying to Nevada's assigned risk plan. NAIP costs more than voluntary market coverage. Many drivers who believe they can't get standard coverage actually qualify with COUNTRY Financial, Travelers or GEICO.
Nevada allows credit-based insurance scoring. COUNTRY Financial charges $79 monthly with poor credit but drops to $69 with good credit, which is a $119 annual savings. Pay bills on time, reduce credit card balances and dispute errors on your credit report to improve your score and lower premiums.
Nevada insurers offer discounts that are not always advertised, including good student discounts, military discounts and employer or professional group rates. Ask about these when comparing quotes.
Nevada offers minimal direct assistance if you are a low-income driver, but comparison shopping and credit improvement help you find affordable coverage.
COUNTRY Financial, Travelers and GEICO provide the most competitive rates for drivers with limited budgets. Minimum coverage offers the lowest premiums for Nevada drivers who own their cars outright, though financing or leasing requires full coverage.
No, Nevada doesn't offer a state-sponsored low-income car insurance program. Drivers rejected by voluntary market insurers can access coverage through the Nevada Automobile Insurance Plan (NAIP), an assigned risk program that provides availability of state minimum coverage at rates higher than voluntary market premiums.
Income doesn't directly affect car insurance rates in Nevada. But insurers can use credit-based insurance scores when setting premiums, and credit scores often correlate with financial circumstances. Nevada requires insurers to disclose when credit information results in higher premiums.
