Auto Insurance for Indiana Drivers

Indiana sets a legal minimum, not a recommendation. We help you understand what each part of an auto policy does, then shop it across carriers so the price is competitive and the protection is real.

The Details

What Auto Insurance Covers

Every carrier's policy wording differs a little. This is how auto coverage typically works, and where people most often get surprised at claim time.

Typically covered

The core protections in most policies.

  • Bodily injury liabilityPays for injuries you cause to other people. Indiana requires at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.
  • Property damage liabilityPays for damage you cause to other vehicles and property. Indiana requires at least $25,000 per accident.
  • Uninsured and underinsured motoristProtects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough. Indiana insurers must offer it, and you can only decline it in writing.
  • CollisionRepairs your own vehicle after an accident, regardless of fault. Usually required if the car is financed or leased.
  • ComprehensiveCovers theft, hail, fire, flood, vandalism, and hitting a deer, which is one of the most common claims in rural west-central Indiana.
  • Medical payments, rental, and roadsideOptional coverages for your own medical bills, a rental car during repairs, and towing.

Usually not covered

The gaps worth asking about before you need them.

  • Delivery and rideshare drivingMost personal policies exclude driving for pay unless you add a rideshare or business-use endorsement.
  • Mechanical breakdown and wearEngine failure, worn tires, and routine maintenance are not insurance claims.
  • Damage beyond your limitsIf you cause a serious accident and damages exceed your liability limits, the difference can come back to you personally.
  • Aftermarket equipment above limitsLift kits, custom wheels, and added electronics often need separate custom equipment coverage.

Common Questions

Auto Insurance FAQ

What are the minimum car insurance requirements in Indiana?
Indiana requires liability coverage of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 per accident for property damage, often written as 25/50/25. Our guide to Indiana's minimums explains why most drivers should carry more.
Is uninsured motorist coverage required in Indiana?
Indiana requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. You can decline it, but only by signing a written rejection. We generally recommend keeping it.
Is Indiana a no-fault state?
No. Indiana is an at-fault state, so the driver who causes an accident is responsible for the damages. That is why liability limits matter so much here.
What should I do right after a car accident?
Make sure everyone is safe and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Exchange insurance information, photograph the scene and damage, get the police report number, avoid admitting fault, and call us at (812) 234-0766 so we can start the claim with your carrier.
