If you live in Nebraska, you can expect to pay an average of around $199 per month for full coverage car insurance, or $2,387 per year. If you carry only your state’s minimum required liability coverage, your cost drops to about $31 monthly or $369 annually.

Location plays a big role in what you pay for car insurance. Insurers calculate rates based on state-specific risk factors such as accident frequency, repair and medical costs, theft rates, and even weather-related risks. Urban areas with heavy traffic or higher crime rates tend to see higher premiums, while rural areas are often cheaper. Beyond location, your age, driving record, credit score, ZIP code, and the type of car you drive also affect your rate.

Average car insurance cost in Nebraska

If you live in Nebraska can expect to pay an average of $199 per month for full coverage car insurance – that’s $2,387 per year.

Just keep in mind that opting for minimum coverage means significantly less protection if you’re in an accident.

However, how much you actually pay for coverage can vary based on several factors, such as your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and the type of car you drive.

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Nebraska

Your car insurance cost largely comes down to the coverage limits you pick.

If you’re just looking to meet the state’s minimum requirements, you can expect to pay around $31 a month, or about $369 a year. It’s an affordable option, but remember that it only covers liability, so damages to your car won’t be covered.

For more complete protection, you may want to go with full coverage instead. Full coverage car insurance includes liability, collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision coverage covers damage to your car from accidents, regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision damages, like theft, vandalism and weather events.

On average, drivers in Nebraska pay around $199 per month, or roughly $2,387 a year for full coverage. It’s a bit more expensive, but it can be worth the extra cost, especially if your car is new or financed.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$369
Liability only$422
Full coverage$2,387
Non-owner state minimum liability$277

Average car insurance cost in Nebraska by age

Insurers consider age a key risk factor when determining car insurance rates. Our data shows that young drivers typically pay higher premiums due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Generally, rates are highest for teens, begin to drop after age 25 and rise again once drivers reach their early 70s.

Let’s take a closer look at how much you might pay in Nebraska for a full coverage policy based on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Nebraska for young drivers

If you’re a young driver, you can expect to pay above average premiums. Insurers see young drivers as high-risk, which means higher premiums until you gain more experience behind the wheel.

For instance, 20-year-old male drivers in Nebraska pay an average of $5,153 per year for car insurance, while females of the same age pay $4,457.

But by the time you turn 25, insurance premiums drop to $2,967 a year on average for male drivers and $2,939 for female drivers.
