Redan auto insurance rates track close to Georgia’s statewide averages — about $760 a year for minimum liability coverage, with full coverage closer to $1,940 a year. Treat any single number as a starting point, not a quote — your actual Redan rate will depend on your ZIP code, driving record, and vehicle. Redan is genuinely an unincorporated community in eastern DeKalb County, officially a census-designated place rather than an incorporated city, with a population of about 31,749 as of the 2020 census. According to local tradition, the name “Redan” is a real amalgamation of two early settlers’ names — N.M. Reid and Annie Alford. Redan is genuinely a predominantly African American community, one of DeKalb County’s established residential suburbs, located roughly 16 miles east of downtown Atlanta. Redan High School sits within the community, and Redan is bordered by the real neighboring communities of Stonecrest, Lithonia, and Swift Creek. U.S. Route 278 runs along Redan’s southern edge, carrying real daily traffic toward Atlanta, and MARTA bus service connects the area to the wider transit system. Georgia allows insurers to factor in credit history, and your specific ZIP code and driving record both genuinely affect your rate more than any single citywide average.

Insurance shopping, minus the runaround
We’re not a call center reading a script, we’re your neighbors, doing the comparison work you don’t have time for.
Independent & Unbiased
We work for you, not one insurance company, so the recommendation is actually about your best rate.
35+ Years of Experience
Real expertise finding coverage that fits — not just the cheapest number on the page.

Compare your options, ask questions, take your time. No hard sell, ever.
Fast & Simple

Coverage Options
Find the right coverage for where you are in life
Liability Only
Meets your state’s minimum requirement at the lowest possible cost.
Covers damage you cause to others, but nothing for your own vehicle — meeting the legal minimum doesn’t fully protect you after a serious accident.
Full Coverage
Adds comprehensive and collision for broader financial protection.
Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, and storm damage — the only coverage that does, and Atlanta metro storm season brings real seasonal risk.
High-Risk / SR-22
Coverage options for drivers with violations, lapses, or DUIs.
Some quotes automatically include safe-driver or usage-based discounts. Others don’t — always ask.
Add-On Coverage
Roadside assistance, rental reimbursement, and more, as needed.
Optional coverage adds cost, but the right add-ons can save you far more than they cost when you actually need them.

Same as Statewide
Redan follows Georgia's requirements, not its own
Georgia requires 25/50/25 liability coverage — $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage — no matter which Georgia city you’re in. Georgia also checks coverage electronically through GEICS, and follows modified comparative fault. See the full breakdown on our Georgia auto insurance page.
