Car Insurance in Plymouth, Minnesota
Estimated full coverage in Plymouth runs about $1,435 a year ($119/month) — ▲ +7% versus the Minnesota average, ranking 5th most expensive of the 8 Minnesota cities we cover.
Why car insurance in Plymouth costs more than the Minnesota average
Insurers price by territory, and Plymouth's numbers explain most of the gap. With 78,551 residents on 32.7 square miles, the city's density (2,401 people per square mile) is 3.9 times the density where the typical Minnesota resident lives (617). The average commute is 21.7 minutes (Minnesota: 22.7), and 63% of workers drive alone. Together these put our location factor at 1.07× the state baseline for liability and collision, and 1.09× for comprehensive once FEMA weather risk for Hennepin County is included.
| Factor | Plymouth | Minnesota ref. | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Population density | 2,401 / sq mi | 617 / sq mi | More vehicles per mile of road means more fender-benders and claims. |
| Average commute | 21.7 min | 22.7 min | Longer daily drives add exposure to crashes. |
| Commutes over 60 min | 1.9% | — | Long highway commutes raise mileage-based risk. |
| Drive alone to work | 62.7% | — | Share of workers commuting by car. |
| Public transit to work | 1.0% | — | Transit use lowers how much residents drive. |
| Work from home | 28.8% | — | Remote workers may qualify for low-mileage pricing. |
| Households without a car | 2.9% | — | Context for non-owner and occasional-driver policies. |
| Weather hazard score (FEMA) | 99.0 | 92.6 | Hail, wind, flood and hurricane exposure drive comprehensive claims. |

Risk factors that shape Plymouth premiums
Accidents
Minnesota recorded 477 traffic deaths, or 0.81 per 100 million vehicle miles (U.S.: 1.19), in the latest full year of federal crash data. Local crash frequency is folded into our density and commute factors.
Vehicle theft
Minnesota's vehicle theft rate is 165 per 100,000 residents (U.S.: 197). The most-stolen vehicle in the state is the Hyundai Elantra (NICB). Theft losses are paid by comprehensive coverage.
Weather
FEMA rates Hennepin County as very high for hail, relatively high for inland flooding and very high for strong wind.
Traffic & commuting
1.9% of Plymouth commuters spend an hour or more getting to work, and there are 1.84 vehicles per household. 28.8% work from home — worth mentioning to insurers that offer low-mileage pricing.
| Hazard | Risk rating | Score (0–100) | Insurance impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | 99.6 | Comprehensive (car); roof claims (home) | |
| Tornado | 99.6 | Comprehensive; dwelling | |
| Hurricane | — | Comprehensive; wind/hurricane deductibles (home) | |
| Inland (river) flooding | 98.0 | Comprehensive; home needs a separate flood policy | |
| Coastal flooding | — | Comprehensive; home needs a separate flood policy | |
| Strong wind | 98.9 | Comprehensive; dwelling | |
| Winter weather | 97.4 | Collision (icy roads); frozen pipes (home) |
Scores are national percentiles of FEMA's county risk (higher means more expected loss than most other U.S. counties).

Cheap car insurance in Plymouth: how to lower your rate
The cheapest policy is the one that fits your situation. These levers are priced with Plymouth's own numbers:
| Change | Est. yearly savings | Good fit if… |
|---|---|---|
| Raise collision/comprehensive deductible from $500 to $1,000 | $105 | You have savings to cover a bigger out-of-pocket repair. |
| Low-mileage / usage-based pricing (under 7,500 mi) | $105 | You're among the 28.8% of Plymouth workers who work from home, or you rarely drive. |
| Drop collision & comprehensive on an older car | $405 | The car is paid off and worth little more than a year of premiums. |
| Standard (100/300/100) instead of full coverage | $735 | No loan or lease requires physical-damage coverage. |
| Avoid one speeding ticket | $315 | Everyone — violations typically affect rates for three to five years. |
Also ask about bundling, good-student, paid-in-full and defensive-driving discounts, and re-shop at every renewal — the same driver can be priced very differently by different insurers. We don't recommend specific companies. Common car insurance discounts.

Frequently asked questions
How much is car insurance in Plymouth, MN?
We estimate full coverage in Plymouth at about $1,435 a year ($119 a month) for a driver in their 30s with a clean record, and about $500 for Minnesota's minimum liability coverage. Real quotes vary by insurer, driver and vehicle.
Why is car insurance in Plymouth more expensive than the Minnesota average?
Our Plymouth estimate is 7% higher than the statewide figure. The model reflects a population density of 2,401 people per square mile (the typical Minnesota resident lives at about 617) and an average commute of 21.7 minutes versus 22.7 statewide. Denser traffic and longer drives mean more claims, which insurers price into local rates.
What car insurance is required in Plymouth?
Drivers in Plymouth follow Minnesota law: at least 30/60/10 liability coverage plus PIP and uninsured motorist coverage.
Which ZIP code in Plymouth has the cheapest car insurance?
Among Plymouth's 4 ZIP codes, 55441 has the lowest estimate (about $1,410 a year for full coverage) and 55446 the highest (about $1,455), mainly because of differences in density and commute times.
How much is car insurance for a teenager in Plymouth?
An 18-year-old with their own full-coverage policy would pay around $3,940 a year in Plymouth by our estimate ($1,380 for minimum coverage). Adding a teen to a parent's policy is usually cheaper.
Does weather affect car insurance in Plymouth?
Yes. FEMA's National Risk Index rates Hennepin County for hail (very high), inland (river) flooding (relatively high), and tornado (very high) risk. Weather mainly affects the comprehensive part of a policy, which pays for hail, flood and wind damage.
Are there car insurance agents near me in Plymouth?
We list 25 insurance offices in and around Plymouth, with addresses, phone numbers where published, and directions. We don't sell insurance or rank these offices.
How we estimate this
We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
