State Requirements

Indiana requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage (25/50/25). Drivers convicted of DUI, caught driving without insurance, or who accumulate excessive violations must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for a period typically lasting 3 years. Indiana also mandates uninsured motorist coverage at the same 25/50/25 limits unless the policyholder rejects it in writing.

Cost Overview

High-risk auto insurance in Indiana typically costs $2,200–$4,600 per year for state minimum liability coverage with SR-22 filing, depending on violation type, age, location, and driving history. DUI convictions generally result in the highest premiums—often 2–3 times standard rates—while at-fault accidents or multiple violations may double costs. Rates vary significantly across Indiana cities due to local claim frequency, uninsured motorist rates, and carrier availability.

Minimum Liability
State-required 25/50/25 liability limits with SR-22 filing. Best for drivers seeking the lowest legal coverage to meet BMV requirements during the SR-22 period.
Standard Liability
Increased liability limits (50/100/50 or higher) plus uninsured motorist coverage. Recommended for high-risk drivers with assets to protect or who want better coverage for future incidents.
Full Coverage
Liability, collision, and comprehensive with higher limits. Required for financed vehicles and advisable for drivers with newer cars or who need protection against total loss during the SR-22 period.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type: DUI convictions add 150–300% to base rates; multiple speeding tickets or at-fault accidents add 80–150%
  • SR-22 duration remaining: Some carriers reduce rates after the first year of continuous SR-22 coverage without incidents
  • County and city: Urban areas like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne see higher premiums due to claim frequency; rural counties may offer lower rates
  • Age and gender: Drivers under 25 with SR-22 requirements face the highest premiums due to combined age and risk factors
  • Vehicle type: High-performance or luxury vehicles increase collision and comprehensive costs significantly for high-risk profiles
  • Credit-based insurance score: Indiana allows credit scoring for insurance, and drivers with impaired credit combined with violations face compounded rate increases
