We were also big fans of Alfa Insurance's customer service. Alfa's complaint index at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) was just 0.16, meaning that it received only 16% as many complaints as is typical for its size.

For an alternative with great customer service, look at Nationwide. It also had an impressively low NAIC complaint index and an above-average claims satisfaction rating from J.D. Power.

Minimum requirements for auto insurance coverage in Alabama

Drivers have to have a certain amount of liability car insurance in Alabama by law, as is typical in the U.S.

Liability	Minimum coverage
Bodily injury (BI)	$25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
Property damage (PD)	$25,000 per accident

We suggest purchasing more coverage than is required by state law, but shoppers should balance the increased protection against the increased premiums of paying for more coverage. In particular, drivers with a high net worth, or who regularly engage in high-liability activities (like driving at night or long distances) should consider getting more coverage.

Recap of the cheapest auto insurance in Alabama

Minimum coverage: State Farm
Full coverage: Nationwide
After an at-fault accident: Alfa Insurance
After a speeding ticket: State Farm
After a DUI: State Farm
Poor credit history: Nationwide
Married people: State Farm
Young drivers: Geico
Young drivers with one accident: Nationwide
Young drivers with speeding ticket: Nationwide

Methodology

We collected thousands of rates from ZIP codes across Alabama for the largest 10 insurers. We used a sample driver with the following profile:

30-year-old man
Drives a 2015 Honda Civic EX
Average credit

The base policy for the study was a full-coverage policy with the following limits:

Coverage type	Study limits
Bodily liability	$50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident
Personal injury protection	$10,000
Property damage	$25,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury	$50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident
Comprehensive and collision	$500 deductible

For our minimum-coverage policy, we quoted a policy with the minimum required limits in Alabama, above.

For other rates analyses (age, credit score, accident history and marriage status) the base policy listed above was alternated to reflect the new driver.
