Depending on where you live in Indiana, average full coverage car insurance rates can differ by as much as $78 per month.

Insurance is typically more expensive in places where accidents and auto theft are more common, especially large cities. That's because people living in these areas are more likely to file a claim, which makes them more expensive to insure.

Minimum requirements for auto insurance coverage in Indiana

Indiana requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability coverage to drive legally. The requirements are sometimes written as 25/50/25.

Most Indiana drivers should consider having more liability insurance than the state requires. These limits may not be high enough to cover the cost of a serious accident. You could end up paying for any extra repairs or medical bills yourself if an expensive car accident turns into a lawsuit.

What's the best car insurance coverage for Indiana drivers?

Full coverage is the most complete way to protect your car while you drive, and keep you safe from a lawsuit.

That's because full coverage includes comprehensive and collision coverage, in addition to liability insurance. Collision coverage pays for damage to your own car if you cause an accident. Comprehensive covers other types of damage to your car, including theft or storm damage.

Lenders typically require you to have full coverage car insurance if you have a car loan or lease. And it's a good idea for cars that are less than 8 years old or worth more than $5,000.

Minimum liability is the cheapest kind of auto insurance because it includes only coverage legally required by the state. In Indiana, minimum coverage insurance pays for injuries to others or damage to their property if you cause a crash.

But a minimum coverage policy won't pay for damage to your car. And the liability limits may not be high enough to cover the cost of an expensive wreck. For those reasons, most Indiana drivers should get a full coverage policy.
