How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Nebraska?

• National average cost per year: $1,311
• Nebraska average cost per year: $1,086
• 38th most expensive auto premium in the US

The good news is that the average car insurance rate in Nebraska is much lower than the national average. Of course, these figures can only give you a ballpark idea of how much you might expect to pay. Cost can vary significantly from one driver to the next. Your rates will depend on a variety of factors such as the type of vehicle (or vehicles) you are insuring, details about the drivers who will be using them, and the amount of your deductible. 

Young, inexperienced drivers will pay much more than seasoned drivers with good driving records. Every insurance company calculates rates a different way, so it pays to compare rates. Independent insurance agents make comparison shopping easy.

Nebraska Car Insurance Requirements

• Bodily injury liability: Required
• Property damage liability: Required
• Personal injury protection (PIP): Not required
• Uninsured motorist coverage: Required
• Minimum liability limits: 25/50/25; coverage up to $50,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $25,000 for one individual; and $25,000 coverage for property damage.

Nebraska’s minimum coverage requirements are high enough to cover the costs associated with most car accidents. However, if you are responsible for a major collision that results in serious injuries to others, the costs may be much higher than what your insurance will cover. That is why many Nebraska drivers opt to purchase liability coverage in amounts that exceed the state’s requirements. An independent agent can help you decide how much coverage is right for you and can show you how much purchasing higher coverage will cost.
