The Toyota Corolla is among the bestselling cars in the U.S.,[1] and for good reason. It’s a fuel-efficient, budget-friendly compact sedan with excellent safety ratings, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.[2]
That said, Toyota Corolla car insurance costs a little more than the national monthly average for all other vehicles, according to Compare.com data. Full-coverage rates average $211 per month, while minimum-liability coverage costs around $114.
Here’s how various factors like age, driving record, and ZIP code affect Toyota Corolla rates, and how and where to get the cheapest rates.
The average cost of Toyota Corolla car insurance is $163 per month.
Novo is the cheapest insurance company for the Toyota Corolla, with an average rate of $66 per month.
New York drivers pay the most for Toyota Corolla auto insurance, while North Carolina drivers pay the cheapest rates on average.
How Much Does It Cost to Insure a Toyota Corolla?
Average rates largely depend on the type of car insurance policy you choose. A liability-only policy with state-minimum coverage is the cheapest option, but it only covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. On the other hand, full coverage provides liability and additional coverage for your injuries and vehicle damage.
The table below shows the average monthly car insurance premiums for Corollas and how it compares to the national average for all vehicles, according to our data.
Vehicle | Average Monthly Premium: Liability | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: All Policies |
---|---|---|---|
Toyota Corolla | $114 | $211 | $163 |
All vehicles | $107 | $197 | $152 |
On average, Toyota Corolla car insurance costs $114 per month for liability coverage and $211 for full coverage.
But policy type is just one factor insurers consider. The following sections break down how different rating factors affect auto insurance pricing.

The Best Insurance Companies for Toyota Corolla Drivers
With so many factors determining insurance rates, no single insurer is the best company for all drivers. That said, we found a few that may be worth getting a quote from based on a combination of average premiums, available coverages and discounts, and customer ratings.
The three companies below are our top picks for different types of Corolla drivers.
Safeco: Best for full coverage
Compare.com Rating: 4.59 out of 5
Cheaper-than-average rates
Claims-free refunds available
Full-coverage policies include diminishing deductible
Toyota Corolla drivers who need full coverage should consider Safeco. Its full-coverage policies come standard with diminishing deductibles, which reduces your deductible by up to $100 per year for maintaining a clean driving record. It also includes claims-free cash back, which refunds up to 5% of your premium per year for not filing any claims.
You can also customize your policy with optional coverages like new car replacement, roadside assistance, and rental car reimbursement.
Mile Auto: Best for Corolla drivers who work from home
Compare.com Rating: 2.98 out of 5
Monthly mileage determines premiums
No privacy issues from data tracking

Few optional coverages available
Mile Auto offers pay-per-mile car insurance, which may be ideal for people who work from home or drive less than 10,000 miles per year. The company determines a base rate using factors like your age, driving record, and ZIP code, which you pay each month. You then pay a per-mile rate based on your actual monthly mileage.
But rather than require data tracking, you snap a picture of your odometer each month to submit to Mile Auto. It offers state minimum- and full-coverage policies, but only roadside assistance and rental reimbursement are available as optional coverages.

Rating factors have varying effects on car insurance premiums. Age is one of the most significant.
Toyota Corolla Insurance Rates by Age
Age plays a crucial role in how much you pay for car insurance. Because of their inexperience and higher accident and ticket risk, teens and other young drivers pay the highest insurance rates.[7] Premiums typically decrease as you get older but increase slightly for drivers 70 and older due to age-related factors such as poor eyesight and slower reaction time.[8]
The table below shows average monthly premiums, the cheapest insurers, and each company’s average monthly rates by age group for Toyota Corolla car insurance, according to Compare.com data.
Age Group | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Teens | $306 | Novo | $125 |
20s | $210 | Novo | $86 |
30s | $163 | Novo | $66 |
40s | $149 | Novo | $61 |
50s | $134 | Novo | $55 |
60s | $125 | Novo | $51 |
70s | $135 | Novo | $55 |
The average monthly rate for teens driving a Toyota Corolla is $306, while seniors 70 and older pay an average premium of $135 per month.
Our research found that Novo offers the cheapest average rates, regardless of age.
Toyota Corolla Insurance Rates by Driving Record
How well you drive substantially affects the price of your car insurance. Risky driving behaviors can lead to speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, and DUIs, which makes you a higher risk to insure. High-risk drivers pay more for car insurance, while drivers with clean records get cheaper rates.
Let’s take a look at how different driving infractions affect your premiums. Here are the cheapest companies for each driving record profile and each company’s average rates, according to Compare.com data.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Premium | Cheapest Insurer | Cheapest Insurer’s Average Monthly Premium |
---|---|---|---|
Clean record | $163 | Novo | $66 |
Speeding ticket | $226 | Novo | $92 |
At-fault accident | $235 | Novo | $96 |
DUI | $268 | Novo | $109 |
Toyota Corolla owners with a DUI pay an average of $268 per month — $105 more than drivers with a clean record. Novo is the cheapest company overall. And drivers with a DUI can expect to pay an average of $109 per month — or an average annual rate of $1,308.
Toyota Corolla Features and Options that Affect Insurance Rates
As one of the world’s bestselling vehicles, Toyota Corolla parts are usually readily available and inexpensive. Many repair shops are likely able to work on a Corolla, which can make labor costs cheaper. Car insurance rates can be less expensive since it may cost less to repair a Toyota Corolla than other Toyotas.
But some Corolla models, like the Corolla hybrid, may cost more. Electric components drive up the cost of repairs, making electric and hybrid vehicles cost around 8% more to insure, according to our data. If you’re considering a hybrid model, compare quotes from companies like Travelers, which offers a hybrid car discount.
All new Corolla models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes safety features such as lane tracing and road sign assist, lane departure alert, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. These features can help you avoid accidents, keep your driving record intact, and qualify you for a safety features discount.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Toyota Corolla
If you’re looking for ways to get a low premium on your Toyota Corolla car insurance, here are some tips to save money on your insurance coverage:
Evaluate your liability needs. Though many states only require minimum coverage, buying higher liability limits can protect your assets and may not cost much more than minimum coverage. Many states allow drivers to sue the at-fault driver for damages, which could affect your budget if you don’t have enough liability insurance to cover it.
Consider full coverage. Buying a full-coverage policy can also save you money. It can protect your finances if you cause an accident and cover your personal injury and vehicle damage instead of having to potentially come out of pocket after an accident.
Raise your deductibles. Increasing your deductibles lowers your premium. Just make sure you can afford to pay more out of pocket if you have to file a claim.
Drop unnecessary coverage. If you have an older Corolla and can afford to fix or replace it, you might not need comprehensive or collision coverage.
Shop around. Compare rates from multiple companies to find the best deal for your coverage needs. An insurance-comparison site can compare multiple quotes at the same time.
