Who has the best cheap car insurance in Indiana?
Consumer Reports obtained insurance pricing formulas form every insurance company in every US state. With each company looking at different factors differently and each state having different laws, there are very different answers to which insurance company is best for every scenario and in each state. Here are the best companies for Indiana drivers according to this data, along with the average annual premium for a single adult driver in each state.
Drivers with good credit scores, or FICO scores between 670 and 739, have two options for coverage under $1,000 per year, on average:
- USAA car insurance: $877 per year
- Progressive car insurance: $989 per year
- State Farm car insurance: $1,097 per year
Drivers with excellent credit scores, or FICO scores above 800, will see some of the lowest costs for coverage. Here are the three best companies, along with their rates, on average.
- USAA car insurance: $748 per year
- Progressive car insurance: $834 per year
- State Farm car insurance: $892 per year
Drivers with poor credit scores, or FICO scores below 539, will pay the most for coverage. Here's how the annual premiums stack up, on average:
- Progressive car insurance: $1,611 per year
- American Family car insurance: $1,990 per year
- Allstate car insurance: $2,007 per year
Who gets the best cheap car insurance in Indiana?
Drivers who get the best cheap car insurance in Indiana are those who have the best credit score, as the numbers show above. Those who have the best driving records, several years of driving experience, and who have a more affordable car to insure will generally pay the least in insurance premiums each year.
Some of those things are quite simply beyond your control, however. Besides working to raise your credit score, one thing you can do is shop around for the best coverage for you. Get quotes from several different companies and compare them. Make sure to look past the premium and look at the coverage types and limits that each insurance company is offering. Also consider the deductible, or the amount you'll pay out of pocket if you get into an accident.
Once you find a policy with the most coverage and the lowest deductibles and premiums, you'll have narrowed it down to the best policy for your money.
