Cheapest Low-Income Car Insurance in Indiana

GEICO claims the lion's share of Indiana's economical insurance market, providing young drivers coverage at $36, adults at $32, seniors at $32, and bad credit holders at $47 monthly. Auto-Owners and Progressive split the remaining categories, with Auto-Owners delivering best rates for speeding tickets at $45 and accidents at $48, while Progressive handles DUI cases at $52 per month.

Indiana earns recognition as one of the nation's most affordable insurance states, consistently delivering premiums substantially beneath the $53 national average and competing directly with other budget-friendly Midwest markets. The Hoosier State's favorable rating results from multiple factors including moderate claim costs, reasonable legal environments, and healthy insurer competition preventing any single carrier from controlling market pricing. Nationwide insurance cost disparities create dramatic premium differences, with Indiana drivers paying roughly half what residents in expensive coastal states fork over monthly for identical minimum coverage and driver profiles.*

*All rates in this table, except for adults, are based on a modified profile of a 40-year-old driver with good credit and a clean record insuring a 2012 Toyota Camry. The age ranges are 22 to 29 for young drivers, 30 to 59 for adults and 60+ for seniors.

Indiana families enjoy varied insurer options depending on household structure, with GEICO leading married couples with teens at $46, Progressive offering childless married households coverage at $32, and Auto-Owners providing single parents protection at $76 monthly. Our research shows Indiana earns recognition for exceptional family insurance affordability, consistently delivering premiums substantially beneath national averages across all household configurations.

Families adding teenage drivers encounter reasonable $14 premium increases when comparing Progressive and GEICO rates, avoiding the $30 to $50 spikes common in less affordable markets. Single parents face moderate pricing at $76 through Auto-Owners, paying $30 above married couples with teens rather than the differentials exceeding $80 in expensive states. Indiana's competitive landscape benefits consumers through multiple viable insurer choices, encouraging families to compare quotes from GEICO, Progressive, and Auto-Owners for optimal savings.*

*Rates for couples and single parents with teens apply to a 16-year-old driver. Those for a married couple without children are based on a 40-year-old male with good credit and a clean driving record.
