Why drivers across DFW choose A-MAX
DFW drivers don't all have the same insurance situation. Some are commuting daily on I-30, I-35E, I-35W, I-20, LBJ (I-635), Loop 820, the Dallas North Tollway, the Sam Rayburn Tollway, the George Bush Turnpike, or US-75. Some are picking up a teen driver. Some need an SR-22 yesterday. Some had a lapse last month and are getting back on the road. Whatever brought you to this page, you're probably looking for two things: a price that works on your budget, and someone who will actually pick up the phone.
That's our model since 2002. A-MAX is an independent agency, so we compare 35+ carriers, including non-standard carriers that work with drivers other companies decline. No quote inflation, no surprise add-ons. You don't have to be a perfect driver to get covered. Walk in, call, or quote online (about 10 minutes).
Whether you live in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, or anywhere across the metro, A-MAX has offices throughout DFW. Walk in, call 1-800-921-AMAX, or quote online. Most customers leave covered the same day.

For DFW drivers dealing with...
If a court or TxDPS told you that you need an SR-22 to keep driving, we can file it the same day. Most filings go through within an hour of binding your policy.
You can still get auto insurance in Texas without a current license. Many drivers do, and it's usually a step toward getting your license back.
A suspended license doesn't have to mean no coverage. We work with carriers that insure drivers in this exact situation, often the same day.
Coverage lapsed last week, last month, or last year? Walk in, give us 20 minutes, and you can leave with a policy bound today. No judgment, no lecture.
An at-fault accident on your record makes most companies hike your rate or drop you. We work with carriers that don't.
A DUI on your record changes your insurance options, but it doesn't end them. Most A-MAX carriers will work with drivers in this situation, and we can often file the SR-22 the same day.
Credit history affects insurance rates in Texas where state law permits. We compare carriers that look beyond credit, so a rough patch doesn't have to mean an expensive policy.
If multiple companies have already declined or non-renewed you, A-MAX has carriers built for exactly this situation.

How much does car insurance cost in the DFW area?
Rates across DFW vary by city, ZIP, driver history, vehicle, and credit (where Texas law permits). The fastest way to know your real number is to quote: about 10 minutes online or by phone.
Factors that push your rate up across DFW
ZIP-level traffic congestion and accident rates. Dense ZIPs along I-30, I-35E, I-35W, LBJ (I-635), and the Dallas North Tollway often carry higher base rates than outlying suburbs.
Vehicle theft rates by ZIP. Several DFW neighborhoods carry higher comprehensive premiums tied to local theft data.
Vehicle make and model. SUVs, trucks, and frequently-stolen models often carry higher comprehensive premiums.
Hail and severe-weather exposure. North Texas hail seasons can drive comprehensive claims; some carriers price for that exposure by ZIP.
At-fault accidents and tickets in the last 3 to 5 years.
Coverage gaps. A recent lapse adds risk to most carriers.
Credit-based insurance score. Texas permits credit-based scoring, so credit history can affect your rate.
For neighborhood-level color, see the city pages linked below.
Texas minimum coverage vs. full coverage
Texas requires every driver to carry at least 30/60/25 in liability coverage:
$30,000 for injury or death of one person per accident
$60,000 for injury or death of two or more people per accident
$25,000 for property damage per accident
That's the legal minimum, but it doesn't cover damage to your car. If you owe money on your car, your lender almost always requires full coverage (which adds collision and comprehensive).
We can run both quotes side by side so you see the actual price difference for your situation. More on Texas minimum coverage →

What to bring to your A-MAX visit
Most DFW customers walk out with active coverage in under 30 minutes. To make it that fast, bring:
- Your driver's license (Texas ID is also fine; you don't need a current driver's license to get started)
- Your vehicle's VIN (the 17-character number on your registration, your insurance card, or your dashboard near the windshield)
- Proof of any prior insurance, if you have it. Your declarations page or insurance card works. This can lower your rate.
- Payment method for your down payment. Most carriers accept debit, credit, cash, or a bank account.
- Court documents, if you're getting an SR-22 (DUI paperwork, license suspension order, or letter from the court)
Don't have all of these? Come in anyway. Our agents will figure out what they can with what you bring.
