$25,000 in bodily injury liability per person.
-
$50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident.
-
$25,000 in property damage liability per accident.

Factors affecting Kentucky car insurance rates in 2026
Severe storms and hail
Kentucky gets heavy thunderstorm activity and hail, especially in spring. Comprehensive coverage is the main protection for weather-related damage like hail dents and broken glass.
Rural vs urban risk
Louisville and Lexington tend to see more crash and theft risk, while rural areas often see more animal-collision claims, especially with deer. Your ZIP code and driving patterns can change your rate more than you’d expect.
No-fault rules
Kentucky uses a no-fault system, so PIP can help cover medical expenses after a crash, regardless of fault. It doesn’t cover vehicle damage, so collision coverage is what protects your car.
Uninsured drivers
Roughly 15% of Kentucky drivers are uninsured. UM/UIM coverage helps protect you if you’re hit by someone who can’t pay, and a strong approach is to align those limits with your liability coverage.
Flooding and water damage risk
Heavy rain can overwhelm roads quickly, especially in low-lying areas and near creeks and rivers. Comprehensive coverage typically covers flood damage, and it’s one of the most expensive types of claims when it happens.
Injury claim risk and higher liability needs
When crashes are more likely to involve injuries, liability choices matter more. Carrying limits that actually protect your assets can help you avoid being underinsured in a serious accident, even if it costs more upfront.
