Louisiana DOI Finalizes Auto Insurance Rate Decreases
Summary
The Louisiana Department of Insurance has finalized rate decreases for auto insurance policies from Imperial Fire & Casualty and Allstate North American Insurance Company. These changes are expected to result in lower premiums for over 58,000 policyholders in Louisiana.
What changed
Louisiana Commissioner Tim Temple has finalized rate filings from Imperial Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (IFAC) and Allstate North American Insurance Company (ANAIC), resulting in significant rate decreases for private passenger auto (PPA) insurance policies. IFAC will implement a 6% decrease on its Value Product, affecting over 41,000 policies, and a 2.9% decrease on its Mid-Market Product, impacting over 32,000 policies. ANAIC will see a 7.5% decrease for its over 17,000 policies. These decreases, driven by improved loss experience, add to previous reductions, with IFAC's total decrease reaching 11% and ANAIC's over 15% since late 2025.
While these are statewide averages and individual policyholder rate changes will vary, the finalized filings mean that consumers insured by IFAC and ANAIC can expect lower premiums. The IFAC changes are effective January 15, 2026, for new business and February 20, 2026, for renewals. ANAIC's changes are effective April 9, 2026, for both new and renewal business. The Department also noted recent finalized increases for American National Property and Casualty Company and Amica Mutual Insurance Company, but the primary focus of this announcement is the rate reductions. Consumers are encouraged to shop around for auto policies.
What to do next
- Review IFAC and ANAIC rate filings for specific impacts on Louisiana policies.
- Communicate updated premium information to affected policyholders.
- Monitor any further rate filings or changes from insurers operating in Louisiana.

Temple Finalizes Rate Changes Including Imperial Fire & Casualty, Allstate North American Auto Decreases
Commissioner Tim Temple has finalized filings from Imperial Fire & Casualty Insurance Company (IFAC) and Allstate North American Insurance Company (ANAIC) for rate decreases on their private passenger auto (PPA) insurance programs in Louisiana. Both companies are part of the larger Allstate group.
Commissioner Temple finalized IFAC’s filing for a 6% decrease on its Value Product, which has over 41,000 Louisiana policies and typically covers higher‑risk consumers by providing insurance options that meet state‑required minimum liability limits. The decrease is driven by the company’s improved loss experience in Louisiana. Commissioner Temple previously finalized IFAC’s 5% rate reduction on the same program in 2025, bringing the program’s total rate change to an 11% decrease in the past six months.
ANAIC’s rate change was for a 7.5% decrease affecting the company’s over 17,000 policies in Louisiana. Commissioner Temple also finalized ANAIC’s request for a 7.6% decrease in late 2025, bringing the company’s total rate change to an over 15% decrease since November of last year.
Rate changes are statewide averages, so each policyholder’s rate change will vary based on their individual risk. The IFAC changes take effect Jan. 15, 2026, for new business, and Feb. 20, 2026, for renewal business. The ANAIC change takes effect on April 9 for new and renewal business.
“This is another positive development for Louisiana drivers, but our work is far from over,” said Commissioner Temple. “We must continue strengthening our regulatory and legal framework so more drivers can experience the benefits of our reform efforts, and I encourage all Louisiana drivers to shop around now for a more affordable auto policy if you haven’t done so in recent months.”
IFAC also filed for a 2.9% decrease on its Mid-Market Product, which has over 32,000 PPA policies in effect and typically covers consumers who need liability limits above the state minimum.
Additionally, Commissioner Temple recently finalized a 4.9% increase for American National Property and Casualty Company. The company has approximately 4,200 PPA policies in effect and had a 2.5% increase in mid-2025. Commissioner Temple also finalized Amica Mutual Insurance Company’s recent request for a 6.4% increase affecting its approximately 1,200 PPA policies.
