Texas
Auto Insurance Costs by County
and by Miles Driven
Annual
rates are from the Texas
Department of Insurance
County Rate Guides at www.tdi.state.tx.us,
Sept. 2001 |

|
This
table shows:
Market leader State Farm's current
dollars-per-year rates by County for minimum
legal insurance, from least to most
expensive.
What insurance now costs you per year
depends mainly on where you live--$182
to $384
.
What insurance now costs you per mile
depends mainly on how much you drive
your car.

Examples:
For
cars in the rural Panhandle and
Northwestern counties driven
2,000 miles in a year, you pay 7
to 8 cents per mile (in red,
at top of table).
But
for cars in the urban Harris and
Dallas counties driven 20,000
miles in a year, you pay less
than 2 cents per mile (in
green, at bottom of table).

Under
cents-per-mile choice, all State Farm
policyholders who choose the option and
live in the same county with cars in the
same driver and use class will pay
the same cents-per-mile rate -
approximately as shown in the 10,000
miles column for minimum legal
coverage.
Across
Texas, this optional per-mile rate
increases from 1.8 to 3.8 cents, as
might be expected from the real
differences in average rural versus
urban driving conditions. |
