Senior drivers in Texas in their 60s pay an average of $100 per month for liability car insurance and $177 for full coverage. But older drivers in their 70s and 80s will likely face higher auto insurance premiums, as accident risks begin to increase.

One of the best ways to find cheap coverage as a senior driver is to compare car insurance quotes online. Here’s what you need to know about car insurance for senior drivers in Texas.

Quick Facts
  • Senior drivers pay lower insurance rates compared to young drivers thanks to more driving experience.

  • Drivers 70 and older often see insurance premiums increase because the risk of having an accident rises again with age.

  • Many car insurance companies offer policy discounts for senior drivers that can help you manage the cost of your auto insurance premiums.[1]

I've had my current car insurance company for over 30 years. They are okay. However, now that I'm retired and their prices keep going up, the fact that they are doing away with the defensive driving discount, and they don't offer any incentives for seniors or someone who doesn't drive as much, I had no choice but to switch companies. The new company will save me about $30.00 a month.

What happened to USAA Customer Service?
Reviewed in Texas on January 29, 2026
USAA used to be a customer-oriented organization focused on providing excellent service and reasonable prices to service military personnel. Over the years, rates have gone up on auto insurance, and multi-vehicle policies are one size fits all. In other words, if you have an older car you own and a newer vehicle that is financed, USAA automatically insures both vehicles with the same coverage. I have gone in and adjusted coverages only to have them raised just before renewal. Their bundle rates aren’t bad and are competitive, but their auto coverage is still higher than many competitors. It seems they’re all about profits, a far cry from the original mission statement and focus.

They Couldn't Care Less
Reviewed in Texas on March 26, 2026
The cost of a 6-month policy is the lowest I've been able to find. Every other insurer has yet to match or beat it. It came with a little more coverage than any other insurer has offered. Although they give you a discount for initiating Easy Drive, which monitors one's driving and driving habits, the app is so messed up (as in making outrageous claims of unsafe driving), I know I cannot expect them to offer to continue the discount or increase it at the end of the term when the app makes a report, or they review the driving data collected. The app is NOT trustworthy because of its flawed and erroneous assumptions. I could not believe it admonished my driving because it found an app open on my phone. "Yeah, the app Easy Drive which they insist one have open during trips," so that it can take in and record the data. Easy Drive is a joke. When I read the first report I looked at, I wondered if the report stated what it stated so that I would be found ineligible for a continued discount. After reading a couple of other reports, I am convinced this tongue-in-cheek accusation of mine to be a fact. My driving record is, after 45 years of driving, immaculate. Yet insurance companies want nearly 500 USD or more for a 6-month STATE MINIMUMS LIABILITY ONLY policy. I have proven that I am not a liability to them. When are insurers going to appreciate me for that?

Why we picked this company

If you’re driving less in retirement, Mile Auto’s pay-per-mile coverage may save you some money. Like other usage-based policies, Mile Auto’s insurance charges a low monthly base rate and a per-mile rate, so you only pay for the actual miles you drive each month. Texas is among the handful of states where coverage from Mile Auto is available.

Pros
  • Very competitive rates for Texas seniors

  • Optional coverages like roadside assistance

Cons
  • Doesn’t offer discounts

  • Available in only 7 states

Where you live in Texas plays a big role in what you’ll pay for senior car insurance. Location affects repair costs, accident frequency, traffic congestion, vehicle crime rates, and more. Exposure to extreme weather events like hurricanes and wildfires also varies by location, and insurers consider those risks when setting rates for senior drivers.

Car insurance for seniors in Texas FAQs

As a senior driver in Texas, it’s important to search for the cheapest rates and the best insurance products for your specific coverage needs. The following information can help answer your remaining questions about car insurance for seniors.

  • How much do senior drivers pay for car insurance in Texas?

    On average, Texas seniors pay $177 per month for full coverage and $100 for liability-only policies, based on Insurify data. But your actual premium will vary based on your individual driver profile, where you live in the state, your driving record, the coverage options you choose, and more.

  • Why do auto insurance rates increase for seniors?

    In general, drivers 70 and older have a higher risk of vehicle accidents. As a result, the average cost of car insurance rates for drivers tends to increase around this age as well. For more insight, you can speak to a licensed insurance agent.

  • Does the cost of car insurance go down when you retire?

    Retiring won’t specifically affect your auto insurance premium, but you can save money on car insurance when you retire in a few ways.

    For example, if you’re driving your vehicle less in retirement, you can search for an insurer that offers low-mileage car insurance. This type of insurance coverage might make sense for you if you don’t plan to put many miles on your vehicle after you stop working.

  • Which company has the cheapest car insurance for seniors in Texas?

    Senior drivers in Texas may find the cheapest car insurance with State Farm. The average State Farm monthly quote for senior drivers is $44 for liability-only coverage and $79 for full coverage.

    But it’s a good idea to compare rates from multiple insurance companies to make sure you find the best auto insurance and premiums for your budget. Your personal driving record, driving habits, coverage selections, deductible, car insurance discount options, and other factors can affect your premiums.

  • Does AARP have cheaper car insurance?

    Some senior citizen drivers might save money on auto insurance by using the AARP Auto Insurance Program through The Hartford. AARP members 50 and older may qualify for a discount of up to 10% on their insurance premiums using this program.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 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 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

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

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
