Downtown Las Vegas ZIP codes pay the most, with rates falling a bit in the suburban areas. (You'll find a map comparing sample rates in all neighborhoods below.) But your address is only one component of your insurance premium, and all companies calculate your rates differently -- even if you live in the priciest ZIP in town.
CarInsurance.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to provide a report of average auto insurance rates for a 2016 Honda Accord for nearly every ZIP code in the United States. We calculated rates using data for up to six large carriers (Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm).
Averages for the default result are based on insurance for a married 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/100 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $100,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage. The rate includes uninsured motorist coverage.
Averages for customized rates are based on drivers ages 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 for the following coverage levels: state minimum liability, liability of 50/100/50 and 100/300/100 with $500 deductible on comprehensive and collision. These hypothetical drivers have clean records and good credit. Average rates are for comparative purposes.
Your own rate will depend on your personal factors and vehicle.

Las Vegas car insurance requirements | |
---|---|
Nevada state law requires the following minimum car insurance coverage: | |
Minimum bodily injury liability | $15,000/$30,000 |
Minimum property damage liability | $10,000 |
Minimum liability coverage limits of 15/30/10 are required to drive in Nevada. That means your insurance company will pay up to $15,000 per person injured in an accident you cause, up to $30,000 per accident, and up to $10,000 for damage you cause to another car or other property. Buying the state required limits is definitely the cheapest way to go. But your assets and savings aren’t shielded from lawsuits and you won’t be covered for damage to your own car. Additionally, the cost to pay for damages from even a minor accident can easily exceed these limits, leaving you responsible to pay out-of-pocket for repair and medical bills.
Also, bear in mind that Nevada’s state-required liability limits, which are among the lowest in the country, are increasing July 1. The new amount of coverage you need to legally drive will be 25/50/20. If you opt to buy the current minimum liability, it’s important to know how your coverage and rates will be affected when the minimum requirements increase in July.
It does cost more to buy more protection, but as you’ll see below, additional coverage is typically affordable. Based on an analysis outlined below of rate fielded from six major insurers for Las Vegas ZIP codes, increasing your insurance from the state minimum to full coverage with a $500 deductible costs, on average, $867 more, or $72 a month. Just hiking to higher liability costs just $227 yearly, or $19 a month.

Gap insurance pays the difference between a vehicle’s actual cash value (ACV) and the current outstanding balance. The coverage is for people who purchase a new car and then take a large loan or lease on the vehicle.
Gap insurance doesn’t consider what you paid for the car. Instead, it’s about the loan and what the car is actually worth.

SR-22 is an option for drivers if you’re convicted for a serious moving violation. Those violations include a DUI, reckless driving or driving without insurance.
