How to find the cheapest car insurance in Easton

Rates vary throughout

Maryland

, but in Easton the average monthly

car insurance

payment is $66 for minimum coverage or $791 per year. For full coverage, Easton drivers can expect to pay about $183 per month or $2,198 per year.

Because every driver has a different profile (car type, driving history, zip code) there is no “cheapest” company for every single Easton resident. But since Easton is a small town, you can expect to pay less than the state average for insurance coverage, which is $192 per month for full coverage or $91 for minimum coverage.

To find the best rate for you, shop around and compare options. The free

Jerry

app helps you pull custom quotes from multiple companies—and it’s helped lots of Maryland drivers find an auto insurance policy.

Best car insurance companies in Easton

While there’s no “best” company for every single Easton driver, we can tell you which companies ranked the best in a recent survey of real Maryland policyholders.

State Farm and Liberty Mutual ranked highly for overall satisfaction, with State Farm taking the top spot for policy price satisfaction among Maryland drivers surveyed.

For some Easton motorists, GEICO, Erie, and Allstate will offer cheaper

car insurance quotes

—but price isn’t everything. Customer service and claims handling are important, too.

Check out this data from a nationwide survey, condensed to show only Maryland results below. Thousands of participants were asked about more than 50+ companies, and rated them across a variety of factors.

Insurance company	Overall rating	Price	Claims experience	Customer service
State Farm	4.7	4.5	N/A	4.8
Liberty Mutual	4.5	3.7	N/A	4.8
Geico	4.3	3.7	4.8	4.2
Progressive	4.2	3.4	3.9	4.3
Allstate	3.8	3.3	4.2	3.8

How'd we get these scores?
Jerry's experts conducted one of the largest car insurance surveys in the United States. We surveyed 15,000 policyholders, in all 50 states, over the span of 18 months. These policyholders hold insurance policies with 87 different insurance companies. We surveyed policyholders to gauge their satisfaction with their insurance carriers in: policy cost, customer service, buying and renewal experience, as well as claim experience. These scores were all reported by real customers of the insurance companies.

Drivers must carry coverage that meets the

state minimum requirements

in Maryland, whether they’re in Easton or Baltimore. Many drivers will benefit from bumping up their liability coverage, or purchasing full coverage—although it’s not strictly necessary under state law.

Cheap minimum liability insurance quotes in Easton

You must carry at least 30/60/15 liability coverage in Maryland. Here’s what that means:

$30,000

bodily injury liability

per person

$60,000 bodily injury liability per accident

$15,000

property damage liability

per accident

This is the bare minimum under state law, and it’s the cheapest way to get coverage in Easton. You can exceed this amount of liability coverage, but you can’t go below it. Companies won’t offer you a policy that goes below these levels.

Furthermore, Maryland requires all drivers to carry

uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)

. You’ll be offered $2,500 of

personal injury protection (PIP)

coverage in Maryland, but you’re allowed to waive it.

Check out these quotes from real drivers who found minimum coverage in Maryland through Jerry.

Do you need more than minimum coverage in Easton?

You can legally get behind the wheel in Maryland with 30/60/15 in liability coverage and UM/UIM. However, this level of coverage might not be enough to protect you and your assets in the event of a serious collision.

Liability coverage kicks in when you cause an at-fault accident, and it pays for the other party’s injuries and damages. If the person’s hospital stay exceeds your policy’s limit of $60,000, you’re still on the hook for those additional charges. You’ll also have to replace their vehicle—and if it was brand new, it will definitely cost more than your policy’s $15,000 limit.

Experts recommend that you purchase as much liability coverage as you can afford, either 100/300/100 or 50/100/50. Your monthly cost won’t increase by more than a few dollars, but your assets will be far more protected and you’ll have peace of mind.

Finally, what about your own medical costs and recovery bills? If you choose to keep PIP, you’ll have about $2,500 for yourself and your passengers—but that may not be enough, even if you have additional health insurance or Medicare.

Full coverage

policies are the only way to protect you and your property in an accident.

Cheap full coverage car insurance quotes in Easton

Full coverage is optional for most drivers in Maryland. However, note that some lenders can require borrowers to carry full coverage on financed vehicles until their loan is paid off.

Full coverage includes both

comprehensive

and

collision

coverage:

Comprehensive coverage: If your vehicle suffers non-collision damage (like theft vandalism, or falling trees), this policy will pay out.

Collision coverage: If your vehicle is damaged in a collision (like a car crash, hitting an animal, or hitting a mailbox), this coverage will kick in to repair or replace the car.

Both these policies are subject to a deductible, which is a cash payment you must pay before the policy coverage kicks in.

Full coverage in Easton ranges in cost by provider. See example costs below.

Insurance coverage	Insurance company	Premium (monthly)	Customer	Car
• 100,000/300,000 Liability • Comp / Collision	Progressive	$493	Curtis, 33 Zip: 21601	Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 4matic
• 100,000/300,000 Liability • Comp / Collision	Nationwide	$103	Daniel, 45 Zip: 21601	Lincoln MKC

Finding cheap full coverage is as easy as entering your zip code, comparing policies, and signing up.

"Jerry is the new benchmark in app usefulness. Period. It is SO EASY and the results are SO GOOD, and they specifically point out that no one is going to start calling and emailing me all the time. I gave very little info, it pulled up all my existing insurance info, and showed me how to get the same insurance for less, lesser coverage for huge savings, or better coverage for about the same I currently pay. I am personally saving around $1,400/year with my new insurance, and the entire process (including follow ups to sign the docs from the insurance companies) took less than an hour. If you make over $1,400/hour, this may not be worth your time. Otherwise, get the app and use it now!"

Car insurance quotes in Easton by rating factors

When calculating a person’s rate, companies assess the type of car they drive, their zip code, and their driving record. Some even take into account your profession and your credit score.

Here are the major factors:

Your make and model: If your car costs more to repair or replace, you’ll pay more to insure it. Luxury, sports, and performance vehicles fit into this category. Vehicles with excellent driver safety features tend to pay less than average.

Zip code: Even within the same town, your zip code has a unique risk profile. Some areas of Easton experience more auto theft and traffic accidents, for instance, so drivers in these areas pay higher rates simply because of the risk associated with their particular neighborhood.

Your driving record and claims history: A history of claims is a red flag for insurers. If you’ve filed multiple claims, received tickets, or gotten into accidents in the past, expect to pay higher-than-average costs for coverage.

Usage: The more you drive, the higher your risk of getting into an accident. That’s why frequent commuters tend to pay more for coverage.

Your credit score: In Maryland, insurers are allowed to use your credit score to set rates. That’s because companies have found that credit score is correlated with risk. People with lower credit scores (below 600) can expect to pay much higher premiums in Easton.

Every formula is unique—some factors are weighed more heavily at one company, for instance.

Easton drivers should pull quotes from multiple companies to find out which one gives the lowest rate for their unique situation.

How do different factors impact your car insurance costs in Easton?

Allowed (with applicable limitations): Gender, age, driving experience, credit history, education, occupation, employment status, marital status, zip code, insurance history

Prohibited (or effectively prohibited): Easton currently does not disallow any common insurance rating factors when calculating insurance premiums.

Cheap car insurance quotes in Easton after driving violations

One or more violations can bump up your rates in Easton, although some violations can have a bigger impact than others. Once you’re labeled a

high-risk driver

, it can take years to clear your record and get your rate back to normal.

If you have any of these violations on your record, expect steep rates at your next renewal:

DUIs

At-fault accident

Reckless driving

Driving on a suspended license

Driving without insurance

Speeding

Know that some companies will refuse coverage to drivers with a strong pattern of past violations. Shopping for coverage with violations on your record is easier with

also carries significant penalties, such as jail time, fines, and license suspension.

Cheapest car insurance in Easton after an at-fault accident

Causing an accident is another red flag for insurance companies. If you’ve caused one or more accidents recently, expect to pay higher-than-average rates until you can prove you’re a safe driver.

Before you renew your policy with your current company at a higher rate, take some time to

shop around and compare rates

elsewhere. Easton drivers with at-fault convictions have found policies using this strategy, as you can see below.

Cheapest car insurance in Easton after other driving violations

Illegal turns, faulty equipment, and other driving violations can trigger rate hikes in Maryland, too. While the rate increases are usually not as high for common violations as they are for DUIs and at-fault accidents, Easton drivers can still expect higher-than-average rates with tickets on their record.

Here’s an example of what real Easton drivers are paying—and what violations they committed.

Violation	Insurance company	Premium (monthly)	Customer	Car	Insurance coverage
Illegal Turn	Progressive	$50	Mayme, 31 Zip: 21606	RAM 1500	• State Minimum Liability • Comp / Collision

Cheap car insurance quotes in Easton by age

In Easton and elsewhere, age affects your car insurance significantly because it’s associated with risk. Young drivers between 16 and 19 and drivers beyond their mid-70s tend to pay the highest rates.

Cheapest car insurance in Easton for young drivers

Teen drivers

tend to get into more accidents due to their lack of experience behind the wheel. This is one reason that experts recommend full coverage for teens.

While you carry a

Maryland provisional license

, your rates may still be lower because you’re required to be supervised while driving. However, after that, your rate tends to go up until the age of 25—regardless of which company you use for coverage.

Staying on a parent’s policy and qualifying for good student discounts can help lower rates.

Senior car insurance

is also higher than average. This is consistent across most companies and states, simply because older people have higher rates of mortality and hospitalization after car accidents. Seniors’ recovery costs and medical expenses cost more, too.

Car insurance companies consider these additional costs when setting rates for older drivers.

Companies like to see that you’ve had consistent coverage—and a

coverage lapse

may trigger higher rates because insurers view gaps as unpredictable (and risky).

While you can’t change your past lapse, you can compare rates to get the lowest possible price for your situation. The good news is that you can start fresh and set a good habit of continuous insurance going forward.

Jerry can help Easton drivers with lapses find coverage. Jerry also has a helpful notification system to help drivers avoid future gaps, so get pinged to pay on time and renew your coverage before it expires.

Cheap car insurance quotes in Easton for drivers with poor credit

In Maryland, companies are allowed to consider your credit score when setting your initial rate and renewing your premium.

Providers have discovered a correlation between credit score and likelihood of filing a claim. Lower credit scores mean a higher risk of filing a costly claim, and companies charge extra for this risk.

Data shows

that low credit drivers pay about 77% more for car insurance than drivers with good credit. But you still need insurance! A comparison app like Jerry can help you pay the least for coverage if you’re an Easton driver struggling with your score.

How to lower car insurance costs in Easton

Saving on car insurance on the Eastern Shore is easy, if you’re willing to do some administrative work.

Here are the top seven ways to unlock lower rates:

Inquire with an insurance agent about

car insurance discounts

. You could save money for driving safely, going paperless, or enrolling in a telematics program.

Bundle home and auto insurance for a discount on both policies. Most companies offer this discount for renters insurance as well as homeowners insurance, and agents are usually very happy to help you switch insurance products to their company.

Raise your deductible (on full coverage policies). Only do this if you can actually afford the higher out-of-pocket payment amount!

Adjust your coverage level. If you really need to save a few bucks, lower your coverage to the state minimum level. Be aware that this leaves you unprotected in the event of a serious accident, though legally compliant.

Look for duplicate coverages and remove them. For instance, some credit cards offer automatic roadside assistance in which case you could cancel your car insurance policy for roadside coverage.

For older vehicles, remove collision and comprehensive (if appropriate). If the cost to replace your vehicle is very low, you might not want to pay for collision coverage.

Shop around every six months

to compare insurance quotes before renewing your coverage. You’re under no obligation to sign up for a rate, but comparing quotes can help you determine if you’re overpaying at your current company.

FAQ

How much is car insurance in Easton?

Car insurance costs about $66 per month for minimum coverage or $183 per month for full coverage. That’s cheaper than both the state and national averages. Note that your rate might be higher or lower depending on your unique driver profile.

What is the cheapest car insurance in Easton?

State Farm, Erie, GEICO, and Liberty Mutual rank well for policy cost satisfaction according to a recent survey of Maryland drivers. However, there is no single company that offers the lowest rate to every single driver profile—drivers are too unique for that!

For instance, some military drivers will get the best rates with USAA. Easton families with multiple young drivers might find that Allstate offers a better deal. The only way to know is to shop around and pull quotes from multiple companies.

What is the best car insurance in Easton?

If price is the most important factor, consider State Farm, Liberty Mutual, Erie, or GEICO. But if you’d like a company that responds well when you file a claim, consider Progressive and State Farm. The best strategy is to pull quotes from multiple companies, since you can’t predict which one will give the best rate for your unique driver profile.

What is the minimum car insurance in Easton, Maryland?

All Maryland drivers must carry 30/60/15 in liability coverage as well as UM/UIM coverage. That’s $30,000 in bodily injury per person, $60,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 in property damage per accident.

PIP is available at $2,500 per person. You can exceed these levels, but you cannot go below them according to state law.
