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.

Amarillo’s place as the largest city in the Texas panhandle means it’s north of many comparable Texas communities. But fortunately for Amarillo residents, car insurance rates in the area are firmly south of those in other cities.
If you live in Amarillo, you can expect to pay about $106 for liability-only coverage and $249 for full coverage — and you may be able to lower those rates even more.
GEICO, Allstate, and State Farm are all known for providing cheap rates in the area, but the best insurer for you will depend on many factors, including your age, marital status, credit, and driving history.
This article will show you how you can find the best insurer for you in Amarillo.
Texas law requires minimum liability coverage of 30/60/25.
Full coverage rates are 24% lower in Amarillo than in Houston.
Amarillo has the second-lowest liability-only rates in Texas.
Best car insurance companies in Amarillo
The best car insurance company for you might not be the best for someone else. It’s all about matching an insurer’s offerings to your unique situation and requirements.
For instance, if you only need liability coverage, State Farm is the most affordable option. However, if you’re a teen driver or have a DUI on your record, you may find another insurer to have more favorable rates.
GEICO, Allstate, and State Farm continuously rank among the leaders in Amarillo, and while you may ultimately determine another insurer is the best choice for you, it never hurts to start your search here.
