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.

Tulsa drivers pay, on average, more for car insurance than drivers in other parts of the state. Full-coverage car insurance in Tulsa averages $203 per month, while liability-only policies average $104. By comparison, the Oklahoma state-level averages are $180 and $86, respectively.
Multiple factors, including relatively high population density, high accident rates, and extreme weather contribute to T-Town's car insurance costs. But Tulsa drivers can still find cheap car insurance by comparing rates from multiple insurers. Here's what to know about auto insurance in Tulsa.
State Farm, USAA, and Allstate are the cheapest car insurance providers in Tulsa.
Oklahoma insurers can consider your credit history when determining your premium.[1]
Because Oklahoma is an at-fault state, a driver that causes an accident is responsible for the costs of vehicle repairs and medical expenses of the other driver.

Here are three of the best insurers offering coverage in Tulsa.
Insurance Company ▲▼ | IQ Score The Insurify Quality (IQ) Score uses more than 15 criteria to objectively rate insurance companies on a one-to-ten scale. The Insurify editorial team researches insurer data to determine the final scores. ▲▼ | Full Coverage ▲▼ | Liability Only ▲▼ | Best For ▲▼ |

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.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Tulsa
Several factors influence how much you pay for auto insurance in Tulsa, including your driving history, vehicle type, ZIP code, gender, age, and credit score. Here are some tips to help you find affordable coverage in Tulsa:
Compare quotes. You can find the best price by shopping around and comparing auto insurance rates and coverages from different companies.
Drive safely. A clean driving record demonstrates responsible driving behavior and can help you qualify for cheaper car insurance premiums.
Increase your deductible. A higher deductible means you’ll pay more if you file a claim, but it can also lower your coverage costs.
Ask about potential discounts. Insurance companies can offer a number of discounts to help you save money by being a good driver, bundling homeowners insurance and renter policies, insuring multiple vehicles, and more.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Tulsa: State Farm

However, it doesn’t provide coverage for your vehicle, so you should carefully consider your ability to cover potential out-of-pocket expenses in case of an accident.[2]
On average, Tusla drivers pay $104 per month for liability coverage, but can find the cheapest rates from State Farm for $35 per month.

Car insurance requirements in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is an at-fault state for car insurance, which means the driver who caused the accident is responsible for covering the cost of the other driver’s damage and injury following an accident.[3]
The state requires drivers to carry a minimum amount of bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, but the Oklahoma Insurance Department suggests you may need more than the minimum to fully protect you financially.
Here are the specific state minimum requirements in Oklahoma.[4]
