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.

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Illinois?

Your car’s make and model play a major role in determining your insurance rates, along with other factors insurers use when setting premiums.

For example, the average annual full coverage cost for a Honda Accord LX in Illinois is $2,227, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $1,846 – that’s a difference of $381 annually.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Illinois?

In Illinois, your car’s model year affects how much you pay for insurance. For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX has an annual premium of $3,846 per year, while the 2024 model costs $2,142 annually to insure.

Quick tip: Review your state’s minimum insurance requirements before choosing a policy

Each state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and Illinois is no different. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which generally includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits offer the minimum coverage, but many drivers choose higher coverage to protect themselves after an accident.

Driving without the required coverage in Illinois can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Illinois

In Illinois, insurance premiums vary depending on your vehicle’s trim. Higher trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines are often more expensive to insure because of their costly replacement and repair costs.

For instance, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX in Illinois costs $3,846 per year. On the other hand, the Honda Accord EX-L trim costs $3,324 annually to insure – a difference of $522.

Luxury features such as premium audio systems can increase a vehicle’s value, leading to higher premiums. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines may raise insurance premiums due to the higher risk of accidents or speeding.
