Key Takeaways
- Indiana has a minimum liability coverage of $25,000/$50,000/$25,000.
- Drivers aged 55-64 pay the lowest rates in Indiana.
Shopping around for auto insurance in Indiana can be complicated, but cheap rates are also more within reach than in other states. The Hoosier State has some of the lowest premiums for auto insurance in the U.S.
Drivers can find lower premiums in Indiana because it’s a fault state, meaning plans must cover medical expenses regardless of who is found at fault for an accident, and because it has good road conditions compared to other states.
Minimum liability is around $1,270 annually and the average full coverage insurance cost in Indiana is $2,704 per year this comes out to around 40-43% lower than the national averages.
Minimum liability vs. additional coverage in Indiana
Indiana law requires drivers have a minimum liability coverage of:
- $25,000 per person for bodily injury per accident.
- $50,000 per accident for bodily injury.
- $25,000 for property damage per accident.
In a covered event where you are found at fault in a car accident, minimum coverage helps pay for the cost to repair another person’s car or property damage. It also helps pay for bodily injuries when you’re legally responsible, up until the policy’s maximum.
Keep in mind that minimum coverage does not pay for any damage done to you or your car — it only covers damages and injuries to the other driver that were caused by you. You’ll still need collision and comprehensive coverage for other types of financial protection.

What are collision and comprehensive coverage?
Collision coverage helps pay for the damage caused to you or your car by another vehicle in a collision. A deductible may apply.
Comprehensive coverage helps pay for damages caused by covered events that don’t involve a collision with another vehicle such as hail, wind, fire or theft. In Indiana, this coverage may help pay for damage caused by hitting an animal with your car. Comprehensive claims are also likely subject to a deductible.
Additional coverage you could add to a policy includes towing, car rentals and 24-hour roadside assistance. The rates for these additional types of car insurance varies.
Do you need more than minimum coverage in Indiana?
While full coverage isn’t required by law in Indiana, it’s typically required if you’re financing or leasing a car. But it can be beneficial to have more than just the minimum coverage so that you can have better financial protection in case you cause or fall victim to an accident. You don’t want to leave yourself vulnerable to paying for costly repairs or legal defense in case someone files a claim against you.
Factors that determine your car insurance premium
Rates vary from driver to driver in Indiana. The cost of your premium will depend on a number of factors like:
- Driving record and history.
- Number of claims you’ve filed.
- Age and gender.
- Marital status.
- Where you live.
- The make and model of the vehicle you drive.
- Deductibles.
- Policy maximums.
- Credit score.
Does Indiana require no-fault insurance?
Indiana does not require no-fault insurance, which is one reason why Hoosier drivers enjoy lower rates than most of the rest of the country. Also called Personal Injury Protection (PIP), this coverage tends to be more costly because these plans cover medical expenses and loss of income for injured passengers despite who is found at fault in an accident.
Tips for lowering your car insurance in Indiana
A good rule of thumb is to shop for a new policy a few times a year to find the best rate for your situation. You can also:
- Look into getting discounts by paying your premiums in full or bundling your plan.
- Take a course to learn strategies that help prevent accidents.
- Sign up for a safe driving program by installing a tracking device in your car or smartphone.
- Work towards raising your credit score.
- Look for policies that have higher deductibles to save on your premiums.
