Cheap Car Insurance in Davenport: Companies Compared
- Full-coverage range: about $123 to $243 a month across the four insurers in our rate data, for the same driver and car.
- Liability only (20/40/15): about $21 to $80 a month across the four insurers.
- State Farm (Nov. 2025 rates)*: about $153 a month for full coverage, from its November 2025 rates.
- Also on our list: Travelers at about $126 a month, USAA at $128, West Bend at $145, Auto-Owners at $150 and GEICO at $172 (USAA sells only to military families).
- Most expensive in our data: Grinnell Mutual and Farm Bureau Financial Services, effectively tied at about $243 and $236 a month.
Progressive’s Davenport average, about $123 a month, is 32% below IMT Insurance’s ($182), a lead wide enough that we show the range instead of naming a single cheapest insurer. The recent published statewide Iowa rate studies we reviewed most often rank Travelers cheapest for full coverage: five of the six we checked put it first and one ranks Progressive, apart from USAA, which sells only to military families. For liability-only coverage at 20/40/15 limits, averages run from about $21 to $80 a month; the lowest is far enough below the rest that we don’t name a cheapest insurer for that coverage level.

Does Better Coverage Cost More in Davenport?
Full coverage at 100/300/100 limits costs less on average than 50/100/50 in our Davenport data: $2,349 a year compared with $2,469, with the same $500 deductibles. The full-coverage package doubles the per-person injury limit, triples the per-crash limit and doubles the property damage limit, and it raises uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to 100/300. Grinnell Mutual and IMT Insurance charge less for 100/300/100 than for 50/100/50 for our benchmark driver.
Is Car Insurance Going Up in Davenport?
Yes, for our benchmark driver. Comparing the same insurers in the same Davenport ZIP codes, full coverage averaged $2,262 a year nine months earlier and $2,349 in rates as of Aug. 31, 2026, a 3.8% increase. Progressive raised its average 30.7%, while Farm Bureau Financial Services’, Grinnell Mutual’s and IMT Insurance’s averages were unchanged. State Farm’s latest rates are from November 2025, so it’s left out of this comparison. Liability-only coverage at 20/40/15 limits rose 3.3%, led by Progressive, which raised its liability-only average 37.2%.

How to Lower Your Car Insurance Rate in Davenport
- Compare Progressive and IMT Insurance first. They have the two lowest full-coverage averages among the four major insurers we compared in Davenport, about $123 and $182 a month.
- Quote several insurers. In our Davenport data, the lowest and highest insurer averages are about $120 a month apart for the same driver and car.
- Carry proof of insurance. Without it, an officer can remove your plates and impound your car under Iowa Code 321.20B, and getting it back takes proof of coverage plus the fine, towing and storage costs.
- Compare at every renewal. Over the past nine months, Progressive has raised its average 30.7%, so the order in our table can shift.
- Ask about discounts and check your deductible. Many insurers lower rates for a clean driving record, paying in full or insuring more than one car, so ask which discounts you qualify for. Our full-coverage prices use $500 deductibles. A higher deductible lowers your premium but means you pay more yourself after a claim; see how car insurance deductibles work.
- Bundle your car and home insurance. Many insurers discount both policies when you buy them together. Check Iowa home insurance rates, and compare homeowners insurance quotes before you shop. Renters can often bundle a renters insurance policy too.

How We Calculated Davenport Car Insurance Rates
Insurers must file their rates and rating rules with each state’s insurance regulator. Quadrant Information Services uses those filings to calculate what each insurer would charge a specific driver, and InsuranceQuotes analyzes those prices. This page uses rates in effect on Aug. 31, 2026.
- Sample: 20 full-coverage premiums from four insurers across five Davenport ZIP codes, plus the same number of liability-only and 50/100/50 premiums.
- Insurer count: our Iowa averages come from four insurers, fewer than in most states, so they can move more when one insurer changes its prices. We publish them as calculated, without adjustment.
- Driver: a single 40-year-old driver, licensed 24 years, with good credit and no accidents or violations, driving a 2024 Toyota Camry LE they own, for personal use.
- Coverage: full coverage is 100/300/100 liability with $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles and 100/300 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. We also price 50/100/50 with the same deductibles, and liability-only coverage at Iowa’s 20/40/15 minimum, with 20/40 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and no comprehensive or collision.
- Calculation: for each insurer we take its lowest eligible price in each ZIP code and average those prices across the ZIP codes. The overall average is the mean of every insurer-and-ZIP price. Monthly figures are annual premiums divided by 12 and rounded.
- Rankings: we name a cheapest insurer only where it’s priced in at least half the ZIP codes and its lead over the next insurer isn’t so wide that it looks like an outlier. Annual prices within 3% of each other are called effectively tied.
- Rate changes: we compare the same insurer in the same ZIP codes, for the same driver and coverage, in rates as of Nov. 30, 2025, and Aug. 31, 2026. State Farm isn’t in the August 2026 rates, so it’s left out of rate-change comparisons; the other four insurers are in both sets of rates. Rate-change percentages are calculated from the annual premiums shown; other percentages use the rounded monthly figures.
- Insurers marked *: priced from recent published Iowa rate studies, scaled to our benchmark driver. They aren’t included in our averages or rankings. The State Farm row shows its November 2025 rates, so it isn’t included in our averages or rankings.
- What this isn’t: a quote. These are modeled prices for one driver profile, calculated from insurers’ rate filings. Your price depends on your ZIP code, vehicle, driving record, coverage choices and discounts.
Coverage requirements come from Iowa law and the Iowa Insurance Division. We refresh these figures when new rate data is released.
