Why Car Insurance Costs So Much in 2026
Dreamy Leads Research · Insurance explainer · Texas · 2026 data
A 2026 car-insurance comparison across Florida, California, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina — average premium, uninsured-driver rate, theft, credit-based scoring, and coverage minimums. In high-uninsured states like Texas, responsible drivers subsidize the uninsured through higher premiums.
Every figure in this video comes from the Dreamy Leads Research dataset, compiled from primary sources (NAIC, Insurance Information Institute, state DOI filings) and dated 2026 Q2. We show the number, name the source, and date it.
