If you’re looking to get the best deal on your car insurance, below are four top tips that Jerry’s agents have found.
Jerry Agent Tip 1: Always compare quotes from different companies
Comparing quotes from multiple companies helps you avoid paying more than you need for car insurance. Different insurers value driver profiles differently, which can lead to very different prices. Here you can see how Jerry customers have received different quotes for the same coverage:

Jerry Agent Tip 2: Save more by stacking discounts
Drivers in Chicago can lower their premiums by taking advantage of discounts for being a homeowner, going paperless or having modern safety features in their cars. These savings can add up to a cheaper policy without cutting coverage.
Jerry automatically searches for the discounts you are eligible for so you don’t miss out. Here are the best ones we’ve found recently:
Key takeaway: Combining discounts is an effective way to save. Jerry finds discounts you qualify for at different insurers when you compare quotes in the app.
Jerry Agent Tip 3: Balance protection and price to find the right coverage
Comparing coverage levels helps you stay protected without paying for more than you need. You can stick with the legal state minimum to keep premiums low, or choose higher tiers for extras like rental coverage, towing and better financial protection after an accident.
Here are the coverage options Chicago drivers can choose from to find the balance that works best:
Minimum
$77 – $143/mo
Meets Illinois’s 25/50/15 liability requirements, but does not cover damage to your own car.
Full
$154 – $332/mo
Adds collision and comprehensive, often required for financed or leased vehicles.
Standard
$183 – $387/mo
Includes UM/UIM and medical payments, especially valuable since over 15% of Illinois drivers are uninsured.
Preferred
$198 – $376/mo
Raises liability limits, lowers deductibles and adds extras like rental reimbursement or towing.
Based on drivers with no accidents or violations who saved with Jerry over the past 6 months. Quotes and coverage not available for all customers.
Key takeaway: Coverage levels aren’t one-size-fits-all. Jerry shows you the real cost of each tier so you can find the protection level that feels right for your car and your budget.

Methodology
To find the cheapest car insurance in each state, we use proprietary, real-world quotes from drivers — not third-party estimates. Each shopping journey includes multiple rounds of quotes, with information verified along the way.
At every stage, we aggregate and anonymize data to protect privacy and ensure accuracy. Because Jerry has delivered millions of quotes, often with multiple offers per driver, our datasets are large enough to avoid bias toward any one region, carrier or driver type.
Unlike other sites that rely on modeled rates, Jerry is a licensed insurance broker in 48 states, giving us firsthand visibility into how quotes are generated and validated.
Unless otherwise stated, rates reflect the last six months of verified full-coverage quotes for clean-record drivers. Data involving accidents or credit uses the last 18 months to ensure reliability.
