  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 28,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

Why we picked this company

On average, USAA offers some of the most affordable liability-only car insurance policies for Maine drivers.

In addition to good rates, the company boasts relatively high customer satisfaction ratings.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Maine

Drivers in the Pine Tree State can’t avoid paying for car insurance. But the good news is that you don’t have to overpay. These strategies can help you lock in cheap car insurance:

  • Ask for discounts. Discounts are available through most insurance companies. Don’t hesitate to ask if you qualify for the lowest rates.

  • Shop around. Everyone has a unique situation, which affects your insurance premiums differently at different insurance companies. Shopping around can help you find cheap auto insurance for your situation.

  • Increase your deductible. Most insurers compensate for a higher deductible with a lower car insurance premium. If a higher deductible for full-coverage insurance fits into your finances, consider raising it.

  • Bundle insurance products. When you purchase multiple types of insurance through the same insurer, it might offer you a bundling discount.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Maine: USAA

Liability car insurance covers damages and bodily injuries you cause to other parties during a car accident. This bare-bones insurance option is often the cheapest. However, you’ll give up the financial protection that comes with more robust coverage.

For example, after an at-fault accident, your liability insurance policy can help you pay for the medical bills and repair costs of the other party. But if their damages exceed your policy’s liability limits, you could be responsible for the balance. And you’ll be on the hook for any repair costs related to your own vehicle and medical expenses.

The average cost of liability insurance in $89 per month. Here’s a closer look at the cheapest options for liability coverage in Maine:

10 cheapest insurers for liability-only

Disclaimer: Table data sourced from real-time quotes from Insurify's 50-plus partner insurance providers. Actual quotes may vary based on the policy buyer's unique driver profile.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Maine: Progressive

A full-coverage car insurance policy, which includes both comprehensive and collision insurance, provides enhanced financial protection. After an incident, collision coverage can help you pay for repair or replacement costs of your own vehicle. And comprehensive coverage can pay for non-accident damages, such as from hail or vandalism.

If you lease or finance your vehicle, your leasing company or lender will require you to carry full coverage. But even drivers who aren’t required to carry this coverage might want to pay for the additional protection.

On average, Maine drivers pay $161 per month for full-coverage insurance. Explore the cheapest car insurance options for full coverage in Maine below:

Car insurance requirements in Maine

Maine requires drivers to carry a minimum level of liability car insurance.[2] Here are the requirements:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/f2ca9fa443/protection-for-passengers.svg

    Bodily injury liability coverage

    Bodily injury liability coverage pays for the medical costs of the other drivers and their passengers if you cause an accident. Maine requires drivers to have:

    • $50,000 per person

    • $100,000 per accident

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/7b43b14514/damage-from-aircraft.svg

    Property damage liability coverage

    If you cause an accident, property damage liability coverage can pay to repair or replace the vehicle of the not-at-fault driver. Maine requires you to have $25,000 of property damage liability, but keep in mind that limit may not be enough to cover the cost of a totaled car, especially if it’s a new or luxury vehicle.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/5285c4cd74/uninsured-or-underinsured-motorist-coverage.svg

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Although Maine law requires all drivers to have car insurance, about 5% of the state’s drivers forgo coverage.[3] Uninsured motorist coverage can help pay for your damages and injuries if an uninsured driver causes an accident. Underinsured motorist coverage comes into play if you’re hit by a driver whose liability limits are too low to fully cover your costs. Maine’s UM/UIM limits are:

    • $50,000 per person

    • $100,000 per accident

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/4c9753bdbe/medical-payments.svg

    Medical payments coverage

    Also known as MedPay, medical payments coverage can help pay for accident-related medical bills for you and your passengers. Maine requires drivers to carry at least $2,000 per person of MedPay.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

It’s easy to make mistakes on the road. But a mistake can lead to increased car insurance costs for the long term.

Drivers with a clean driving record tend to pay less for car insurance than drivers with a driving violation, including speeding tickets, driving under the influence, and at-fault accidents. In general, the severity of the offense affects just how much your rate will increase.

The average cost of car insurance in Maine for drivers with a past incident on their record is $125 per month for liability insurance and $226 for full-coverage insurance. See how different driving incidents affect auto insurance costs below.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI: USAA

While many states refer to impaired driving as a DUI (driving under the influence) or a DWI (driving while intoxicated), in Maine the offense is called an OUI (operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol).[4]

As one of the most serious moving violations, an OUI usually comes with higher car insurance premiums. Drivers with an OUI typically pay more than drivers with other types of incidents on their records, like a speeding ticket.

Liability insurance for Maine drivers with a past OUI costs $155 per month on average. The table below shows how an OUI can affect car insurance quotes for Maine drivers.

Cheapest car insurance for teens in Maine: USAA

With minimal experience behind the wheel, teen drivers represent a risk to auto insurance companies. Most young drivers face higher premiums than their more mature counterparts. It’s impossible to completely negate your age as a determining factor for rates. However, teen drivers don’t have to overpay.

As a young driver, some ways to lower your car insurance costs include getting good grades, raising your deductible, and driving a safer vehicle. Additionally, comparing rates across multiple insurance companies can help you lock in the best rates for your situation.

On average, teen drivers in Maine pay $167 per month for liability insurance. The following table shows the average monthly quotes from some top insurance companies for teen drivers in Maine.

Maine car insurance quotes by credit tier

Maine allows insurance companies to consider your credit-based insurance score when determining premiums. Drivers with a fair or poor credit history generally pay higher rates for car insurance than drivers with an excellent or good credit history. In turn, improving your credit score can help you lower your auto insurance costs.

Some strategies to help you improve your credit score include paying down debt, making on-time bill payments, and removing any mistakes from your credit report. Compare average full-coverage insurance rates by credit tier below.

Maine car insurance FAQs

Maine drivers face some unique challenges on the road, considering the state’s rural areas, coastal region, and abundant wildlife. Road conditions factor into car insurance rates, and you should take them into account when shopping for car insurance.

Here’s some additional information on Maine car insurance to help.

  • How much is car insurance in Maine?

    The cost of liability car insurance in Maine is $89 per month and $1,069 annually. On average, a full-coverage policy in the state costs $161 per month and $1,930 per year. How much you pay for coverage will depend on your driving record, credit history, age, chosen coverage, and more.

  • Who has the cheapest car insurance in Maine?

    USAA has the cheapest average liability insurance cost in Maine at $41 per month. With respective average liability coverage rates of $43 and $48 per month, State Farm and $Safeco also offer some of the cheapest insurance in Maine. The best way to find cheap car insurance is to compare quotes from multiple insurers at once.

  • What are the best car insurance companies in Maine?

    Travelers, USAA, and State Farm are among the best insurers for Maine drivers. State Farm has an Insurify Quality (IQ) Score of 9.3 out of 5, while USAA and Travelers have scores of 9.4 and 9.0, respectively. The score reflects a company’s overall quality, customer service, and affordability. On average, Maine drivers with coverage from State Farm pay $89 per month for liability and $83 for full coverage.

  • Does Maine require car insurance?

    Yes. The state of Maine requires all drivers to carry a minimum level of car insurance. The state’s requirements are a bit more robust than in some other states. In addition to a minimum amount of liability coverage, Maine also requires drivers to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage.

  • Is Maine a no-fault state?

    No. Maine is an at-fault state. A driver who causes an accident will be responsible for paying for damages and medical costs of the other drivers and their passengers. Insured drivers can rely on their liability coverage to pay at least some, if not all, of the costs they’re liable for — up to their policy’s coverage limits. Uninsured drivers, or drivers whose liability limits fall short of the damage amount they’re liable for, could be on the hook to pay for some or all of the damages out of pocket.

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
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
