If you live in Tucson, you probably already know what you don't want from an insurance company: a long online form, a quote that bumps the second you click, or an agent who can't actually help with your specific situation. A-MAX is built differently. Call or quote online; an agent compares 35+ carriers and gives you a real number in about 10 minutes.
We've been doing this since 2002. Our agents compare 35+ carriers, including non-standard carriers built for drivers other companies decline. The intake is simple: license or ID, VIN, proof of any prior coverage if you have it. Most customers leave covered the same day, no in-person visit required.
Tucson drivers come to us from Downtown, the University area, the South side, the East side, and the Foothills, and from the I-10, I-19, and SR-77 (Oracle Rd) corridors. We write policies for U of A students, snowbirds wintering in southern Arizona, and drivers heading to Sonora through Nogales on I-19. Quote by phone or online in about 10 minutes.

You can still get auto insurance in Arizona 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? Give us 20 minutes by phone or online, and you can have 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 Arizona 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.
Adding a teen to your policy is one of the bigger rate increases most families face. We'll compare it across 35+ carriers to find the most affordable option.

What you pay for car insurance in Tucson depends on your record, your ZIP, your vehicle, and (where state law allows it) your credit. The actual number varies a lot, even between two drivers on the same street. The fastest way to find your real rate is to quote. Local conditions matter too: extreme summer heat, monsoon flash floods, and dust storms can affect comprehensive premiums and claim history in southern Arizona. And the I-10 and I-19 commute adds annual mileage, which most carriers price into the rate.
ZIP-level theft and accident rates.
Annual mileage. Long I-10 and I-19 commutes push rates up.
Vehicle type. SUVs and trucks often carry higher comprehensive premiums.
At-fault accidents and tickets in the last 3-5 years.
Coverage gaps (a recent lapse adds risk to most carriers).
Credit history (Arizona allows credit-based insurance scoring).
The fastest way to know your real rate: call 1-800-921-AMAX or start a quote online. It takes about 10 minutes.
Arizona requires every driver to carry at least 25/50/15 in liability coverage:
$25,000 for injury or death of one person per accident
$50,000 for injury or death of two or more people per accident
$15,000 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 Arizona minimum coverage →
