Louisiana is one of the most expensive states in the country to insure a car, and Alexandria prices above the state average on both coverage levels. This page sets out what Louisiana requires, what a violation adds to a premium, and where the Alexandria office is.
GoAuto can save you money on car insurance, even if you’re a high-risk driver. Here’s how:
Alexandria sits at the center of Louisiana where Interstate 49 meets US 71 and US 165, which makes it a crossing point for traffic moving between Shreveport and Lafayette and between Texas and the Mississippi River. Local driving is shaped by that through-traffic, by the Red River, and by ongoing roadwork on the main corridors.
Two of those matter directly for what you carry. Red River flooding and heavy spring storms are comprehensive losses, not liability ones, so a state-minimum policy pays nothing toward your own vehicle when water or hail reaches it. And higher-speed movement on I-49 and the US highways means crashes here tend to be more severe than city-center collisions, which is where liability limits and uninsured motorist coverage start to matter more than the minimum suggests.
The figures below are MoneyGeek’s Alexandria city figures, shown against the Louisiana and national averages. Louisiana runs roughly 90 percent above the national average for full coverage, and Alexandria sits above the Louisiana average on both coverage levels, so this is a high starting point by national standards.
| Coverage level | Alexandria | Louisiana | National |
|---|---|---|---|
| State-minimum liability 15/30/25 limits | $114 / mo | $99 / mo $1,187 / yr | $60 / mo |
| Full coverage Liability + comprehensive + collision | $260 / mo | $236 / mo $2,827 / yr | $124 / mo $1,493 / yr |

| Comparison | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Alexandria full coverage | $260 | Per month, city average |
| Above the Louisiana average | +$24 | Per month, full coverage |
| Alexandria state minimum | $114 | Per month, 15/30/25 limits |
Rates vary widely across the state. New Orleans averages about $379 a month for full coverage and Bossier City about $182, a spread of $197. Central Louisiana sits between those extremes. For the statewide picture and the city comparison, see our Louisiana car insurance page.
Yes. Louisiana operates an at-fault system and requires every driver to carry at least these limits:
| Coverage | Louisiana minimum |
|---|---|
| Bodily injury liability, per person | $15,000 |
| Bodily injury liability, per accident | $30,000 |
| Property damage liability | $25,000 |
Written as 15/30/25, these are liability limits only. They pay for injuries and damage you cause to other people and nothing toward repairing your own vehicle. Alexandria adds no separate city requirement, and registration and court process run through Rapides Parish.
Louisiana penalizes driving uninsured more heavily than most states. Under the No Pay No Play law, an uninsured driver cannot recover the first $100,000 of bodily injury damages or the first $100,000 of property damage after a crash, even when the other driver was entirely at fault. Those thresholds rose from $15,000 and $25,000 on 1 August 2025, and the state did not raise minimum coverage requirements to match. Narrow exceptions apply. The full explanation is on our Louisiana car insurance page.

A violation on your record changes what every carrier quotes you. These are Louisiana averages for full coverage, measured against a clean-record baseline of $248 a month.
| What is on your record | Louisiana full-coverage average |
|---|---|
| Clean record | $248 / month baseline |
| Speeding ticket | $286 / month about 15% more |
| At-fault accident | $323 / month about 30% more |
| DUI | $344 / month about 39% more |

Because carriers weight violations differently from one another, re-shopping after a violation often recovers part of the increase. A DUI in Louisiana may also carry an SR-22 filing requirement, which is a certificate your insurer files with the state confirming you carry at least the required minimum.
GoAuto writes coverage online and by phone, and has a staffed office in Alexandria if you would rather do it in person.
GoAuto Insurance writes auto coverage across its licensed states, including Louisiana, and considers drivers with a range of records, including tickets, accidents, DUIs, and coverage lapses. GoAuto focuses on state-minimum liability coverage, the lowest coverage level the law allows, and can handle SR-22 filing once your policy is active. Down-payment and payment options vary by state and situation. Eligibility, coverage, filing timelines, and pricing depend on your state and your individual circumstances, so the best way to see what applies to you is to get a quote. You can also call 833-700-0000.
Alexandria averages about $114 a month for state-minimum liability at 15/30/25 limits and about $260 a month for full coverage, according to MoneyGeek’s 2026 Louisiana analysis. Both run above the Louisiana averages of $99 and $236, and Louisiana is itself roughly 90 percent above the national average for full coverage.
No single carrier is least expensive for every Louisiana driver. Insurers weight parish, driving record, vehicle, annual mileage, credit-based insurance score where the state permits its use, and your chosen limits differently, so a carrier that lands lowest for one driver often lands mid-pack for the next. Fix your coverage level and deductibles first, then price that exact combination at several carriers.
Louisiana requires at least 15/30/25 liability coverage: $15,000 for bodily injury per person, $30,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Alexandria adds no separate city requirement. All of it is liability, so it pays for injuries and damage you cause to other people and nothing toward repairing your own vehicle.
Louisiana’s No Pay No Play law bars an uninsured driver from recovering the first $100,000 of bodily injury damages and the first $100,000 of property damage after a crash, even when the other driver was entirely at fault. Those thresholds rose from $15,000 and $25,000 on 1 August 2025, and minimum coverage requirements were not raised to match. Narrow exceptions apply, including where the at-fault driver was intoxicated or acting intentionally.
Against a clean-record full-coverage baseline of about $248 a month, Louisiana averages rise to about $344 after a DUI, roughly 39 percent more. An at-fault accident averages about $323 and a speeding ticket about $286. A DUI may also carry an SR-22 filing requirement, which is a certificate your insurer files with the state confirming you carry at least the required minimum coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for flood damage to a vehicle, and comprehensive is not part of a state-minimum policy. Louisiana’s 15/30/25 minimum is liability only, so it pays nothing toward your own car when water reaches it. Unlike a house, a vehicle needs no separate flood policy: comprehensive is the flood coverage, and it carries its own deductible separate from collision.
