Perry auto insurance runs about $26 a month cheaper than the rest of Georgia, and genuinely close to the national average — roughly $1 a month below it — according to Compare.com. Treat any single number as a starting point, not a quote. Perry is known throughout the state as the real “Crossroads of Georgia,” a nickname earned because Interstate 75, U.S. Highway 41, and U.S. Highway 341 all genuinely converge through the city. Originally founded in 1823 as “Wattsville,” the town was renamed and officially incorporated on December 9, 1824 in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the real War of 1812 naval hero of the Battle of Lake Erie, making Perry the first official town in Houston County. Today, Perry is home to the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, a real 1,100-plus-acre complex that opened in 1990 and hosts the official Georgia National Fair every October, along with the 8,250-seat Reaves Arena. The city also hosts the real, twice-yearly Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival, famous throughout the Southeast for its artists and craftspeople. Perry’s walkable historic downtown sits just 25 miles south of Macon and 90 minutes south of Atlanta. 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.

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 Middle Georgia’s summer thunderstorm 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

Perry 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.
