Hi, I’m Angela Whitmore, a licensed insurance agent based in Casper, Wyoming. I’ve spent the last eight years helping drivers throughout the Equality State — from Cheyenne to Cody — find low-cost auto insurance options that keep them legal without overwhelming their finances.
A large part of my client base includes people who receive SNAP benefits and use EBT cards to help with basic living expenses. Whether you’re between jobs, working seasonally, or supporting a family on limited income, you still need reliable transportation — and legal car insurance to stay on the road.
Even though Wyoming doesn’t have an official EBT car insurance discount, I’ve helped dozens of clients on food stamps find affordable coverage through carriers that cater to low-income individuals. These companies offer weekly billing, non-traditional income acceptance, and no-deposit liability plans that make coverage accessible.
Let’s take a closer look at how you can get insured in Wyoming — even if money is tight.
📘 Is There an EBT Auto Insurance Discount in Wyoming?
No. Wyoming does not offer a government-administered EBT car insurance discount, and you can’t use your EBT card to pay for car insurance premiums.
That said, several national and regional insurers provide low-income-friendly coverage for:
- SNAP recipients
- Gig workers and part-timers
- People with no credit or poor credit
- Clients who need weekly or bi-weekly payment plans
- Drivers with no recent insurance
These carriers understand the realities of living on limited income and structure their policies accordingly.

👥 Real Quotes from Wyoming Insurance Professionals
🔹 Tom Landon – Cheyenne, WY
“I helped a SNAP recipient driving a 2010 Chevy Malibu get covered with SafeAuto for $77/month. She paid no deposit and set up weekly billing to match her EBT refill dates. It worked perfectly for her cash flow.”
🔹 Sara Jorgensen – Gillette, WY
“Dairyland approved a client on food stamps who drives a 2009 Ford Focus. No job, no credit, and still just $82/month with bi-weekly payments. It’s one of the easiest companies for EBT clients to work with.”
🔹 Luis Mendoza – Casper, WY
“Progressive Snapshot is a great fit for rural clients who don’t drive far. One of my SNAP clients saved 28% in two months, bringing their monthly rate down to $59/month just for safe, low-mileage driving.”
💡 6 Car Insurance Tips for EBT Users in Wyoming
- Choose Liability-Only If Your Car Is Paid Off
Wyoming requires liability insurance only. If you own your vehicle outright, this is the most affordable legal option. ✅ - Take Advantage of Usage-Based Discounts
If you only drive locally or a few days a week, Progressive Snapshot or Root Insurance can save you 20–30%. 📉📱 - Request Weekly or Bi-Weekly Billing
Carriers like SafeAuto and Dairyland offer billing options that align with SNAP payment cycles, helping you avoid late payments. 🗓️ - Use a Non-Owner Policy if You Don’t Own a Car
Borrowing a vehicle or driving a company car? A non-owner policy keeps you legal and usually costs under $50/month. 🔁 - Disclose Your EBT/SNAP Status to Your Agent
This helps match you with insurers who accept non-traditional income, like SNAP, SSI, or informal cash work. 🤝 - Bundle Policies for Added Savings
If you rent your home, bundling your auto and renters insurance can save you 10–20%. National General is especially EBT-friendly. 🏠

No official state discount exists. But carriers like SafeAuto, Dairyland, and The General offer low-income plans ideal for EBT users.

A liability-only policy is the state’s legal minimum and the most budget-friendly option for drivers with older, paid-off vehicles.
