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: Compare quotes to find the cheapest insurer
Drivers in Rockford can often save money just by checking quotes from different insurance companies. Each insurer rates your driving history in its own way, so one company might offer a lower price than another for the exact same coverage.
Shopping around is one of the simplest ways to find the cheapest insurance for your needs. Here you can see how recent Jerry customers have received different quotes for the same coverage:

Why it matters: Shopping around for car insurance can save money but is time-consuming. Jerry reduces the hassle and helps you compare quotes in minutes.
Jerry Agent Tip 2: Lower your premium by stacking discounts
Drivers in Rockford can lower their premiums by using discounts for things like being a homeowner, going paperless or having modern safety features. Combined, these savings can make premiums more affordable without compromising protection.
It’s not always easy to know which discounts you qualify for, so Jerry finds and stacks them for you automatically.
Key takeaway: Discounts can make a real difference, and Jerry ensures you don’t miss out. The app automatically finds and stacks the savings that apply to you.
Jerry Agent Tip 3: Balance coverage and cost for smarter protection
Choosing the right mix of coverage helps drivers in Rockford strike a balance between saving money and staying well protected.
While state minimum coverage keeps costs lower, adding more protection like full coverage and roadside assistance can give peace of mind if something unexpected happens. It’s all about finding what works best for your budget and your needs, so you feel confident on the road without paying for coverage you don’t need.
Here are the coverage options Rockford drivers can choose from to find the right combination of price and protection:
Minimum
$60 – $109/mo
Meets Illinois’s 25/50/15 liability requirements, but does not cover damage to your own car.
Full
$114 – $229/mo
Adds collision and comprehensive, often required for financed or leased vehicles.
Standard
$135 – $279/mo
Includes UM/UIM and medical payments, especially valuable since over 15% of Illinois drivers are uninsured.
Preferred
$167 – $285/mo
Raises liability limits, lowers deductibles and adds extras like rental reimbursement or towing.

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.
