Bundle home and auto insurance with Jerry
Indiana’s location in the Midwest exposes homeowners to tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and winter ice storms that can cause significant property damage. Bundling home and auto insurance is one of the easiest ways to offset those risks without overpaying on premiums.
Bundling discounts typically range from 5–25%, depending on the insurer. But bundling with the same carrier isn’t always the cheapest option — mixing carriers can actually result in a lower total cost. Over the past year, drivers who switched through Jerry saved an average of 40% compared to their previous policy.
Here’s what really sets Jerry apart: you don’t have to use the same insurer for both. Jerry’s mix-and-match approach lets you pair the best home insurance rate with the best auto insurance rate, even from different carriers. That way you’re not overpaying on one policy just to get a discount on the other.

What Indiana drivers are paying with Jerry
If you want to make sure you’re not overpaying for car insurance, comparing quotes from multiple carriers is the best place to start. Whether you’re building a policy from scratch, matching your current coverage or hunting for the cheapest car insurance in Indiana, it helps to see your options side by side.
That matters in Indiana, where rates can vary quite a bit between Indianapolis, the smaller metro areas like Fort Wayne and Evansville, and the rural stretches in between. Highway commuting on the interstates, winter weather, and your proximity to more urban areas all influence what you’ll pay. Jerry works with Indiana drivers every day, so your quotes reflect what’s actually typical for your area and driving profile.
Jerry helps you compare quotes from up to 16 trusted insurers in the Hoosier State, so you can see what’s out there and what you should be paying. Below are some of the latest quotes Jerry has pulled for Indiana drivers at different coverage levels, plus how much each driver saved.

Indiana car insurance coverage requirements
In order to legally operate a vehicle in Indiana, drivers must purchase liability insurance. State minimum requirements include:
-
$25,000 in bodily injury liability per person injured in an accident.
-
$50,000 for two or more people injured in one accident.
-
$25,000 for damage to other peoples’ property.
New policies also include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, but drivers can reject this in writing. These are the minimum limits:
-
$25,000 for uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage to one person, and $50,000 to two or more people in an accident
-
$25,000 towards property damage
-
$50,000 for underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage.
Keep in mind that this is the legal minimum, but many Jerry drivers actually choose to buy higher liability limits and coverages like comprehensive or collision insurance. Drivers should also note that 14% of Indiana drivers are uninsured or underinsured, so keeping uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) protection can be a wise move.

Factors affecting Indiana car insurance rates in 2026
Winter storms and slick roads
Ice, sleet and lake-effect snow can make Indiana roads treacherous for months at a time. Collision coverage is what pays for your car after a winter crash, and comprehensive handles non-collision losses like hail and fallen branches. Both are often worth keeping, even on older vehicles.
Metro traffic and claim activity
Driving density in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Evansville means more accidents and higher theft exposure in some areas. Drive defensively during peak hours and consider a telematics program like Jerry DriveShield, so your safer habits can translate into a lower rate.
Uninsured drivers
Roughly one in seven Indiana drivers is uninsured, according to the IRC. Jerry recommends matching your UM/UIM limits to your liability limits, so you’re protected if the other driver can’t cover your injuries or damage.
Modified comparative fault law
Indiana follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages only if you’re less than 51% at fault. Collision coverage still matters because it gets your car repaired without waiting on a fault decision that could go either way.
Road construction and work zones
Indiana drivers deal with near-constant construction on major routes, and work zones are a common setting for rear-end collisions and sideswipes. Slow down through lane shifts and consider keeping collision coverage active, because work-zone crashes happen fast.
Rising repair costs
Repair bills keep climbing as vehicles add more sensors and require recalibration after even minor impacts. Choose a deductible you can comfortably pay, so a surprise estimate doesn’t keep you from filing a claim you’re entitled to.
