Experience with Geico
GEICO, a subsidiary of the Berkshire Hathaway Group, is the third-largest U.S. insurer by market share. In addition to auto insurance, GEICO sells homeowners, renters, flood, travel, life, and business insurance, among other products. The insurer offers numerous car insurance discounts to help drivers save. For example, drivers who are accident-free for five years could earn 22% off premiums, and good students could earn 15% off. GEICO’s National Association of Insurance Commissioners complaint index score is below average, meaning it receives fewer consumer complaints than average.
Good rates for good drivers, seniors, and young drivers
Accident forgiveness available

High rates for drivers with certain violations, like DUIs

Mazda car insurance coverages
In most states, you’re legally required to have a liability-only policy at the bare minimum. However, you can consider a few additional different types of car insurance coverage to better protect yourself:[3]
Bodily injury liability
Bodily injury liability coverage is mandatory in most states and covers medical expenses and other associated costs of people injured in an accident you cause.
Property damage liability
Property damage liability is also mandatory in most states and covers the cost of repairing or replacing someone else’s damaged property in an accident you cause.
Collision coverage
No states legally require collision coverage, though drivers who lease their vehicles may need it. It pays to repair your vehicle if it’s damaged in an accident, no matter who’s at fault.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle if anything other than a car accident — such as theft, vandalism, or severe weather — damages it.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays for medical bills and associated expenses if you’re hurt in an accident, no matter who caused it.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage will pay for your medical bills and associated expenses if you get injured in an accident that an uninsured or underinsured driver causes.
Mazda car insurance FAQs
Finding the right car insurance as a Mazda driver will depend on what model you drive, your driving history, your location, your age, and other factors. Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Mazda insurance.
Which company has the cheapest Mazda insurance?
On average, Hugo offers the cheapest Mazda car insurance policies for a variety of different models. Hugo offers policies for Mazda drivers starting at just $61 per month for some models. But if you finance or lease your Mazda, or need higher liability limits, you won't be able to buy a policy from Hugo. The insurer only sells state minimum coverage.
Some of the other most affordable and best car insurance companies that Mazda drivers should request car insurance quotes from include USAA, State Farm, and GEICO.
Are Mazdas expensive to insure?
Not especially. If you decide to buy a Mazda, you can expect your car insurance costs to be fairly average. The average cost of car insurance per month nationwide is $154 per month. Mazda drivers can expect to spend a little bit less than this, at an average of $149 per month.
How much does it cost to insure a Mazda 3?
The average cost of insuring a Mazda 3 is $161 per month. How much you actually spend can depend a lot on the type of car insurance coverage you choose. For example, on average, Mazda drivers pay just $118 monthly for a liability-only policy but $204 monthly for full-coverage car insurance. Don’t forget to get auto insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies.
Why is Mazda insurance so high?
Mazda insurance premiums may be higher than those associated with other vehicle makes due to factors like the car’s cost, chosen trim levels, rarity of parts, safety features (like anti-lock brakes), common repair needs, and safety ratings. Shopping around with a few different auto insurance companies and comparing insurance quotes can help mitigate these costs.
Other factors, like your age, location, and driving record, also affect premiums. One of the best ways to keep your auto insurance premiums low is to maintain a clean driving record.
