Car insurance rates in Utah have seen a dramatic increase, with the average annual cost for full coverage reaching $2,009 in June 2024, a significant rise from $1,127 in January 2021. This surge is largely attributed to insurers recovering from the heightened driving and accident rates following the COVID-19 pandemic, which left them in a financial deficit. Although Utah’s rates remain lower than the national average of $2,329, the gap is narrowing as costs continue to climb. The escalating insurance prices are exacerbating transportation affordability challenges in a state heavily reliant on car ownership.
