Nissan Altima car insurance coverages
You’ll need proper car insurance coverage before you take your Nissan Altima on the road. The type of Altima you drive will dictate what “proper” coverage means. For example, if your vehicle is financed, your lender may require you to carry comprehensive and collision coverages.
On the other hand, you might only want the minimum amount of car insurance coverage if your Nissan Altima is older and you’ve paid off your car loan.
Here are a few car insurance coverages you should consider carrying for your Nissan Altima as you shop for car insurance quotes:
Liability coverage
Liability coverage can help you pay for bills if you’re ever found at fault in a car accident. Medical expenses for bodily injury, property repair costs, compensation for lost wages, and legal defense fees are some of the costs liability coverage can help pay for.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage helps pay for your vehicle repairs after non-collision accidents. Such incidents include hitting an animal, fire, flooding, theft, and vandalism. If you hit a deer, comprehensive coverage pays for your damage. If you swerve and miss the deer but hit another car or tree, collision covers it. This is why most lienholders require you to carry both coverages.
Collision coverage
Collision coverage helps pay for repairs to your Nissan Altima if another vehicle hits it. The coverage also works if you hit another car or object. Collision coverage applies regardless of fault.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Most states require drivers to carry car insurance, but that doesn’t mean all drivers do. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can help you pay for damages or medical expenses if someone who’s uninsured hits your Nissan Altima.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Personal injury protection can cover medical bills for you or your passengers following car accident-related injuries, regardless of who’s at fault. PIP can also help pay for lost income and other injury-related expenses, depending on the state.
Nissan Altima car insurance FAQs
Looking for more information to help you find the best rates for your Nissan Altima? Consult the answers below.
Who has the cheapest Nissan Altima insurance?
USAA offers the cheapest car insurance rates for the Nissan Altima. Full-coverage car insurance costs $157 per month on average. However, only active and former military members (and their families) are eligible for USAA car insurance.
Fortunately, other affordable Nissan Altima auto insurance options are available if you aren’t eligible for USAA’s cheap rates. State Farm and GEICO are among the best companies in terms of average car insurance rates, at $128 and $131 per month, respectively, for a 2023 Nissan Altima.
Are Nissan Altimas expensive to insure?
The cost of Nissan Altima car insurance will depend on several factors, including your driving record, age, address, ZIP code, Altima model year, and potentially credit history. How much coverage you need is a major factor as well. Full-coverage insurance rates for a newer model Nissan Altima will be more expensive than an older one with only liability coverage.
How much does it cost to insure a Nissan Altima?
Full-coverage auto insurance for a Nissan Altima costs $235 a month on average and $118 per month for liability only. But you could pay less for your auto insurance premium if you have a clean driving record and your vehicle is equipped with several safety features and security systems.
On the other hand, having a number of traffic violations on your record could lead to higher auto insurance rates. Ask your insurance agent for information on what discounts you may be eligible for as you shop for a car insurance policy.
How much would insurance be for a 2017 Nissan Altima?
Car insurance costs for a 2017 Nissan Altima depend on who’s insuring the vehicle. For example, USAA’s car insurance costs $84 per month on average. State Farm insurance averages $93 per month, while you could pay $213 per month with The General.

- 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
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
