Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Indiana

All motor vehicles operated or parked on Indiana roadways are required to be insured. Proof of insurance must be carried in your car at all times and must be available when:

  • Requested by law enforcement

  • Renewing vehicle registration

  • The vehicle is involved in a car accident

The minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles in Indiana[1] are:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury

  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury

As a major part of your liability insurance, bodily injury coverage covers medical bills for people other than the policyholder who are injured during an accident. Indiana is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who is responsible for the collision is also responsible for paying for any resulting expenses, either through their car insurance provider or out of pocket.

  • $50,000 per accident for uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays for costs caused by a driver with little or no insurance after a car accident. In Indiana, this coverage will help you recover from an accident as quickly as possible.

Fort Wayne Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age

Working teens with a focus on academics should be able to squeak out a monthly payment of $264. Fort Wayne drivers pay less as the years behind the wheel increase, and most stay below the state average of $162. Those in their 40s and 50s do the best, at $126 per month—an amount over $100 cheaper than what the youngest drivers pay. Those folks above 80 hop back above the average as dexterity and driving ability change with age.

Fort Wayne Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

Hoosiers know that safe driving saves lives and livelihoods. Insurance companies agree and give “good driver” and “accident-free” discounts to those with clean records. An at-fault fender bender adds $51 per month to the cost. Anyone running late to work or school should watch out because a speeding ticket adds $47 per month. It’s not all sad news for drivers with less-than-perfect records. After three years of careful driving, accidents and violations stop affecting insurance prices.

Fort Wayne Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Like most in the U.S., the Hoosier State lets insurance companies use credit to set rates. Insurance companies claim the data paints the picture, but many drivers can’t see precisely how credit relates to driving ability. If the picture’s clear, why would those with poor credit or average credit pay less than those with good or excellent credit? It turns out that people with better credit can finance costlier cars and may need more coverage to protect their assets. Between average, good, and excellent credit, there’s at most a $5 difference, so the insurance companies weigh the factor relatively lightly in Indiana.

FAQs - Fort Wayne, IN Car Insurance

  • If you live in Lake and Porter Counties you do. These two counties require emissions testing every two years for vehicles manufactured after 1975. Look for a Clean Air Check Station near you. If your vehicle doesn’t pass emissions, you’ll need to visit a certified emissions repair facility and have it fixed. In some cases, you can qualify for a waiver or extension.

  • Though it’s illegal to drive without insurance in Indiana, some people do. For this reason, Indiana requires that insurance companies offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage with each policy. Unless you chose to reject this coverage in writing when you bought the policy, your uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage kick in. But remember, UIM in Indiana only covers injuries, not car damage. UM covers both.

  • A lot goes into calculating your car insurance rate in Indiana. Some factors are out of your control, like your age, gender, or marital status. Insurance companies do use ZIP codes as part of the calculation. Your ZIP code tells them how much of a claims risk you might be based on crime rates and accident statistics where you live. You can keep your rates low by driving safely, comparison shopping for a less expensive policy, or even changing your deductible.
