What these figures are, and what they are not
Each figure is computed from the premiums insurers filed with Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions for one hypothetical driver the regulator defined. They are not quotes, not offers, and not what any individual pays. An insurer’s filed sample rate assumes the exact vehicle, mileage, record and coverage in the published profile, and nothing else.
Full coverage at the limits stated in each hypothetical: a combined single limit or the equivalent split limits, $5,000 medical payments, uninsured and underinsured motorist cover at the liability limits, comprehensive at a $250 deductible and collision at a $500 deductible. Seven risk profiles are each quoted at two liability-limit sets except the age-41 pair, which DIFI varies by commuting pattern instead. Insurers that do not write a hypothetical are printed "NQ" and are excluded from its distribution, so n varies by profile. We publish the count and the distribution — the smallest filed rate, the quartiles, the median and the largest — and never a rate attributed to an insurer.
What Arizona requires by statute
Arizona's statutory minimum liability limits are 25/50/15. The profile above buys the coverage DIFI specified for its own survey, which is a separate question from the legal minimum. Car-insurance requirements in Arizona.
Coverage gap calculator
A liability limit caps what the policy pays. Anything above it is the at-fault driver’s own exposure. This works out the difference against the limits in your state’s statute — nothing else.
Above the limit
$27,000
A $42,000 property damage claim against Arizona’s statutory minimum property damage of $15,000 leaves $27,000 above the limit.
