Auto insurance rates across Arizona have climbed sharply in 2025, with average full coverage premiums nearing $2,400 statewide and exceeding $2,600 in the Phoenix metro area. What’s driving these increases—and what can you do about it?

Key Reasons Behind the Rate Hike

  1. Rising Repair & Vehicle Costs
    Inflation and new tariffs on imported parts and vehicles are pushing repair costs higher. More expensive repairs mean higher payouts for insurers, which leads to increased premiums.
  2. Weather & Risk Trends
    Arizona’s monsoons, dust storms, and above-average traffic fatality rates are contributing to a higher frequency and severity of claims, especially in urban areas like Phoenix and Tucson.
  3. Uninsured Drivers & ZIP Code Factors
    A high number of uninsured drivers and ZIP-code-based risk ratings are also inflating rates for responsible drivers who carry full coverage.
  4. Nationwide Pressures
    Across the U.S., auto insurance is rising ~7.5% on average, but Arizona is feeling it more due to local risk dynamics and repair inflation.
