Auto Insurance Coverage Types
Every driver's needs are different. We'll help you choose the right combination of coverages for your vehicle, budget, and lifestyle.
Liability Coverage
Required by Illinois law, liability coverage protects you if you're at fault in an accident. It pays for the other party's medical bills and property damage so you're not personally responsible.
Collision Coverage
Covers repairs to your vehicle after a collision with another car or object, regardless of fault. Essential for newer vehicles or financed/leased cars.
Comprehensive Coverage
Protects against non-collision damage: theft, vandalism, weather events, hitting an animal, and more. Pairs with collision for full vehicle protection.
Uninsured Motorist
Illinois has a significant rate of uninsured drivers. This coverage protects you and your passengers if you're hit by someone who has no insurance or insufficient coverage.

Illinois Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements
Illinois requires all registered vehicles to carry liability and uninsured motorist coverage. Here's exactly what the law mandates — and what our agents typically recommend instead.
Pays the other party's medical bills and lost wages when you're at fault. A single ER visit can exceed $25,000 — most agents recommend $100,000/$300,000 or higher.
Covers damage you cause to other people's vehicles or property. With new vehicles averaging over $40,000, the state minimum often falls short. We recommend at least $100,000.
Required in Illinois and critical — an estimated 12–14% of Illinois drivers are uninsured. This protects you and your passengers when the at-fault driver has no coverage.
State minimums are a starting point, not a finish line.
Illinois minimums were last updated in 2009 and don't reflect today's medical costs or vehicle values. If you cause a serious accident and your coverage runs out, you're personally liable for the rest. Our agents will show you how affordable better coverage can be — often just a few dollars more per month.
What Affects Your Auto Insurance Rate?
Insurance pricing can feel like a black box. Here's exactly what carriers look at — and how our agents use that knowledge to find you the best rate.
Driving Record & Claims History
Accidents, speeding tickets, and DUIs all raise your rate. A clean record for 3–5 years typically qualifies you for safe-driver discounts.
Age & Experience
Teen drivers (16–24) pay the highest premiums due to risk statistics. Rates generally drop significantly after age 25 with a clean history.
Vehicle Type
Safety ratings, repair costs, and theft rates all factor in. A sports car or luxury SUV costs more to insure than an economy sedan with top safety scores.
Credit Score
Illinois allows insurers to use credit-based insurance scores. Improving your credit can meaningfully lower your premium across multiple carriers.
Annual Mileage & Commute
The more you drive, the greater your exposure to accidents. Low-mileage drivers often qualify for usage-based or pay-per-mile programs.
Coverage Levels & Deductibles
Higher deductibles lower your premium. Dropping collision on an older paid-off vehicle can save hundreds per year — we'll help you decide what makes sense.
Available Discounts
Multi-car, good student, bundling home + auto, safe driver telematics, anti-theft devices, and more. We stack every discount you qualify for.
Prior Insurance & Lapses
Continuous coverage history is rewarded. A lapse in coverage — even a short one — signals risk to carriers and raises rates. Stay covered, even between cars.
