Arizona drivers saw auto insurance rates jump 22% in 2024. That’s not a typo. The average full coverage policy in Arizona now runs about $2,195 a year, and if you’re in Tolleson, you’re paying roughly $16 more per month than drivers in other parts of the state.
Here’s what most people don’t realize: your current company isn’t required to tell you when another carrier would cover you for less. They just send the bill and hope you pay it.
That’s where we come in. We represent over 40 auto insurance companies including Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, USAA, AAA, and Direct Auto. When you call us, we’re not selling you one option. We’re comparing what you have now against what else is available, and then we’re telling you the truth about which one makes sense. If your current policy is actually the best deal, we’ll tell you that too.
You’re not locked into one company’s rates or one company’s idea of what you need. You get options, and you get someone local who picks up the phone when you call back six months from now.
Premier Choice Insurance is a family-owned independent agency based right here in Arizona with offices in Mesa and Peoria. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what happens when your rates spike, when monsoon damage hits, or when you’re sitting in 120-degree heat wondering if your car is about to overheat on the I-10.
We’ve earned 930+ five-star Google reviews and won Agents of the Year in 2023 because we do the work most agencies skip. We answer the phone. We explain what’s actually covered. We help you cancel your old policy when you switch. And when your life changes, we’re still here to adjust your coverage instead of making you start over with someone new.
Tolleson is growing fast, and with that growth comes more traffic, more risk, and more reasons insurance companies keep raising rates. You need someone who understands the local market and has access to enough carriers to actually find you a better option.
First, we look at what you have now. Not just the price, but what’s actually covered and where the gaps might be. A lot of people think they have full coverage until they file a claim and find out the company is only reimbursing 50% of the repair bill.
Then we run your information through our network of 40+ carriers. That includes the big names like Progressive insurance, GEICO car insurance, and USAA insurance, plus regional carriers that sometimes beat the national averages. We’re looking for the best combination of price and actual coverage, not just the cheapest car insurance with holes in it.
Once we find a better option, we walk you through exactly what’s changing and what’s staying the same. No jargon. No fine print surprises. If you decide to switch, we’ll even handle canceling your old policy for you at no extra cost.
And here’s the part that matters six months from now: we don’t disappear. You have a local agent you can call when you buy a new car, move to a different part of Tolleson, or need to file a claim. We’re not handing you off to a 1-800 number.

Auto insurance isn’t just one thing. It’s a bundle of coverages, and not all of them are created equal. Liability coverage is what Arizona requires by law, but it only covers the other person if you cause an accident. It does nothing for your car.
Collision and comprehensive coverage are what most people mean when they say “full coverage.” Collision pays for your car if you hit something. Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, hail, and all the random stuff that happens in Tolleson like monsoon damage or someone swiping your catalytic converter in a parking lot.
Then there’s uninsured motorist coverage, which matters more than you think. Arizona has a high rate of uninsured drivers, and if one of them hits you, this coverage is what keeps you from paying out of pocket. A lot of cheap car insurance policies skip this or set it too low.
Here’s what we do differently: we don’t just quote you the state minimum and call it a day. We look at what you drive, where you park it, and what kind of financial hit you could take if something goes wrong. Then we show you what it actually costs to close those gaps. Sometimes it’s $10 a month. Sometimes it’s not worth it. But at least you’ll know.
We also make sure you’re getting the discounts you qualify for, whether that’s bundling with home insurance, safe driver discounts, or multi-car rates. And because we work with carriers like AAA insurance, Direct Auto insurance company, and USAA car insurance, we can find discounts that aren’t advertised on TV.
Your rate probably went up because everyone’s rate went up. Arizona saw some of the steepest auto insurance increases in the country over the past two years, with premiums jumping more than 25% in 2023 alone. Insurance companies are raising rates across the board to cover higher repair costs, more expensive car parts, and increased claim payouts.
Even if you’ve been a safe driver for years, you’re still part of a larger risk pool. When repair costs go up, when more cars get stolen, or when inflation drives up the price of replacement parts, the insurance company passes that cost on to everyone. They don’t call to explain it. They just send a new bill.
The frustrating part is that your current company might still be charging you more than a competitor would for the exact same coverage. That’s why it’s worth shopping around, especially if your rate jumped significantly. We can run your policy against 40+ other carriers and tell you in about ten minutes whether you’re overpaying or if your current rate is actually competitive.
When you go directly to GEICO car insurance or Progressive insurance company, you’re only seeing their rates. That’s it. If their price is high or their coverage doesn’t fit what you need, your only option is to start over with another company and fill out the whole application again.
An independent agent like us represents dozens of carriers at once. We can quote you with Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, Direct Auto, AAA insurance, USAA insurance, and 35+ others without you having to call each one separately. We do the comparison work for you, and we’re not getting paid more to push one company over another.
The other big difference is what happens after you buy the policy. If you call GEICO directly and need to make a change, you’re talking to whoever picks up the phone that day. If you work with us, you’re calling the same local office every time. We already know your situation, and we can make updates or file claims without you having to explain everything from scratch. You’re not just a policy number in a system.
Auto insurance in Tolleson runs about $16 more per month than the state average, which puts you around $2,200 to $2,400 a year for full coverage depending on your driving record and what you drive. That’s higher than rural parts of Arizona but slightly below the national average.
The reason Tolleson rates are a bit higher is mostly due to population density and traffic volume. More cars on the road means more accidents, and more accidents mean higher premiums. Tolleson also has a high jobs-to-residents ratio, which means a lot of commuters are driving through the area every day, and that increases risk.
That said, rates vary wildly between carriers. One company might quote you $250 a month while another offers the same coverage for $160. It depends on how each company weighs factors like your age, your car, your ZIP code, and your claims history. That’s why comparing quotes from multiple auto insurance companies is the only way to know if you’re getting a fair price. We can pull quotes from 40+ carriers in one conversation instead of you spending hours calling around.
If the other driver doesn’t have insurance and the accident was their fault, you’re stuck unless you have uninsured motorist coverage on your own policy. Arizona doesn’t require drivers to carry this coverage, but it’s one of the most important add-ons you can buy, especially in areas with higher rates of uninsured drivers.
Without uninsured motorist coverage, your only option is to sue the other driver directly and try to collect damages yourself. That process is slow, expensive, and often pointless if the other person doesn’t have assets to go after. Most people never recover what they’re owed.
With uninsured motorist coverage, your own insurance company pays for your medical bills and car repairs up to your policy limits, and then they go after the other driver on your behalf. It usually only adds $10 to $20 a month to your premium, and it can save you thousands of dollars if you ever need it. We make sure this coverage is included in every quote we run unless you specifically tell us you don’t want it. It’s one of those things that doesn’t seem important until the moment you need it, and by then it’s too late.
Yes, but it takes more work than just picking the lowest quote you see online. Cheap car insurance usually means one of two things: either you’re only buying the state minimum liability coverage, or you’re working with a company that’s going to fight you hard if you ever file a claim.
The smarter approach is to figure out what coverage you actually need and then shop that same coverage across multiple carriers. For example, if you’re driving a 2015 sedan that’s paid off, you might not need collision coverage anymore. That could drop your rate by 30% or more without leaving you exposed to major financial risk.
We also look for discounts most people don’t know they qualify for. Bundling your auto and home insurance can save you 15% to 25%. Safe driver discounts, low mileage discounts, and even paying your premium in full upfront can all bring your rate down. Some carriers like USAA car insurance or AAA insurance offer discounts that aren’t available through Direct Auto insurance company or other providers.
The key is comparing the same coverage across different companies. We do that for you by running your information through 40+ carriers at once. You’ll see exactly where the price differences are, and you can decide whether saving $30 a month is worth switching or if your current company is already competitive.
Yes. We have Spanish-speaking agents on staff who can walk you through your policy, answer questions, and help you file claims in Spanish. This matters more than people realize, especially when you’re trying to understand what’s actually covered or what happens if you need to file a claim.
Insurance policies are confusing enough in English. Trying to navigate coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions in a language you’re not completely comfortable with can lead to expensive mistakes. You might think you’re covered for something that’s actually excluded, or you might be paying for coverage you don’t need because nobody explained it clearly.
Tolleson has a large Spanish-speaking community, and we’ve worked with enough families in the area to know that language shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the right coverage at a fair price. Whether you’re calling to get a quote, make a change to your policy, or file a claim, you can speak with someone in Spanish who understands what you’re asking and can explain your options without confusion.
