At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Car insurance rates in Wyoming have stayed relatively low year after year for a variety of reasons. Wyoming has a low population density and one of the lowest rates of uninsured drivers in the U.S., which helps keep insurance costs affordable.[1]

Drivers in Casper and Cheyenne pay similar rates for full-coverage car insurance.
Liability policies in Cheyenne are usually more expensive than the state average.
How much is car insurance in Wyoming?
Drivers in Wyoming pay a monthly average of $55 for a liability policy and $117 for a full-coverage policy.
Wyoming’s state-minimum requirements cover property damage and bodily injury or death you cause in an accident.[2] If you finance your car, your lender may require you to purchase coverage for your vehicle, too. In that case, the state minimum wouldn’t be enough coverage, and you’d need full-coverage insurance.

Average Wyoming Car Insurance Rates Over the Past Two Years
Average Wyoming car insurance rates by city
Wyoming may have cheap car insurance on average, but rates can vary depending on where you live. Insurance companies consider your address when setting prices, and factors like severe weather and accident rates can affect how much you pay for coverage.
For example, there were 15 fatal car crashes in Cheyenne in 2024 — but only four in Jackson.[3] People living in cities typically pay more for car insurance than people living in rural areas.[4]

Your age and gender can affect your insurance costs, too. For example, a teen driver is more likely to cause an accident than a 50-year-old driver. And female drivers typically pay less for coverage than male drivers because male drivers are more likely to engage in high-risk driving behaviors.[5]

Average cost to insure popular vehicles in Wyoming
Wyoming lies at the center of the farm, ranch, and oil industries, so it’s no surprise that pickup trucks round out the most popular vehicles in Wyoming year after year.[6] But trucks have different repair costs and safety features, which can affect how much you pay for car insurance.
Vehicle | Average Monthly Quote |
---|---|
Ford F-Series | $130 |
Ram 1500 | $155 |
Chevrolet Silverado | $138 |
GMC Sierra | $139 |
Toyota Tacoma | $130 |
How your driving record affects car insurance rates in Wyoming
You’ll pay more for insurance if you have infractions on your driving record.[7] Speeding tickets and at-fault accidents will cause your rates to go up because insurance companies view you as a higher risk and more likely to file claims.
That’s especially true if you get a DUI. In addition to higher insurance rates, you may need to complete an alcohol treatment program or install a driver ignition interlock device before the state will reinstate your license.[8]
Driver Record | Average Monthly Quote | % Increase Compared to Good Drivers |
---|---|---|
With accident | $216 | 55% |
With speeding ticket | $233 | 58% |
With DUI | $243 | 60% |
Most states — including Wyoming — allow insurance companies to use your credit history when determining rates. Insurers view drivers with excellent credit as less likely to file claims, so they’ll pay less for coverage. But drivers with poor credit pay higher rates because insurers think they’re more likely to file claims.

How to lower your insurance costs in Wyoming
The average cost of car insurance may have dropped in Wyoming over the past few years, but you can always try to save more money. Here are some tips to help you pay less for your car insurance:
Ask about discounts
Most insurers offer multiple discounts. Younger drivers can often get discounts for good grades. Older drivers can also save money by taking defensive driver education courses.
Improve your credit
You’ll pay less for auto insurance if you maintain good credit.
Reduce your coverage
If you’ve paid off your car or can afford to replace it, choosing a minimum-coverage policy can reduce what you pay for car insurance.
Opt for a higher deductible
Choosing a higher deductible can lower your monthly insurance premiums. But make sure you have enough money set aside because you’ll have to cover more expenses out of pocket if you’re in an accident.
Shop around
You can compare quotes from different companies to find the cheapest coverage. Using an insurance comparison website can save you time by getting multiple quotes simultaneously.

Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 50+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
