The Zebra’s auto insurance data methodology

The Zebra’s Dynamic Insurance Rating Tool for home and auto insurance rates utilizes the latest ZIP code-level rate filings from across the U.S., sourced from Quadrant Information Services and S&P Global. These filings, typically updated annually or biennially by insurers, are verified through Quadrant’s QA process and then integrated into The Zebra’s estimator.

The displayed rates are based on a dynamic home and auto profile designed to reflect the content of the page. This profile is tailored to match specific factors such as age, location, and coverage level, which are adjusted based on the page content to show how these variables can impact premiums.

For a comprehensive understanding, see our detailed methodology.

Zebra tip: Is liability-only coverage enough in Indiana?

While you may be fulfilling legal requirements with liability coverage, this is often not enough to protect you in an accident. State minimum coverage is really only recommended for folks with cars worth less than $4,000. Full coverage is our ultimate recommendation, but if you don't want that or can't afford it, even raising the limits on a liability policy is an improvement. We recommend at least 50/100/50 limits for Indiana drivers.

The Zebra's guide to Indiana car insurance laws for high-risk drivers

Certain violations, like a DUI or driving without insurance, can result in more complex insurance consequences. Below, you'll find detailed guides on Indiana car insurance laws and regulations.

Indiana DUI laws

Getting a DUI in Indiana can increase your auto insurance rate significantly. Because a DUI often triggers a larger uptick in premium costs than most other citations, it can be challenging finding affordable car insurance in the aftermath of a DUI conviction.

 

Low-cost car insurance after a DUI in Indiana

To find the most savings, it’s integral to assess each of your insurance choices carefully if you're convicted of a DUI or DWI violation in Indiana. Car insurance premiums following a DUI can vary substantially by insurance company.

There is no car insurer in particular that offers inexpensive DUI car insurance. The recommended way to save in the wake of a DUI citation is to shop around.

Indiana SR-22 insurance

An SR-22 is a routine legal requirement brought on by a violation such as a DUI conviction, a ticket for driving without insurance, an at-fault collision, driving with a suspended license or accumulating too many points on your license. It is not a type of insurance policy, but a form issued by your insurance company with the state of Indiana to ensure that you remain insured.

Finding cheap auto insurance with an SR-22 in Indiana might require some research, but it could pay off in the end.

 

How to acquire an SR-22 in Indiana

For currently insured drivers

If you already have an active auto insurance policy, requesting an SR-22 shouldn't be difficult. Simply contact your insurance company and request that they file an SR-22 certificate request on your behalf. If your current insurance company won't request a certificate, you should look to switch to a new auto insurance company that will.

 

For uninsured drivers

When filing for a new policy, you might be charged an up-front fee to have your prospective insurer file an SR-22 request for you and to cover your high-risk driving profile. Needing an SR-22 certification might disqualify you from getting coverage from some companies, while others will sell you a policy.

 

For drivers without a vehicle

Not owning a vehicle makes it more difficult to obtain an SR-22, as you will need to furnish proof of insurance to receive the certificate. If you don't own a vehicle, you should apply for a non-owner car insurance policy before filing for an SR-22. Non-owner auto coverage is typically cheaper than traditional coverage since it doesn't cover physical damage to your vehicle.

How have car insurance costs in Indiana changed?

Prior to the pandemic, Indiana's car insurance costs were predictable and steady. 2020 brought a brief plateau in premium increases as road activity reduced and insurer rebates temporarily halted rate hikes. However, 2023 and beyond have seen large premium surges due to a perfect storm of high inflation, high-tech replacement parts in new vehicles, and more severe accidents.
