If you drive in Wisconsin, you know how important it is to have the right car insurance – but finding a policy that fits your needs and budget isn’t always simple. That’s why we built the Wisconsin car insurance calculator: to help you quickly estimate costs and explore coverage options that work for you.

Our calculator uses your vehicle’s make and model to estimate your average annual and monthly premiums in Wisconsin, making it easier to compare options and choose the coverage that’s right for you.

How to use our car insurance calculator to estimate your rates in Wisconsin:

  • Step 1: Choose the model year of your car.
  • Step 2: Choose the make and model of your car.
  • Step 3: Choose your state.
  • Step 4: Click on the “Get My Rates” button to get a car insurance estimate.
  • Step 5: Expand your options by adding more vehicles, or take the next step by clicking the “Get quotes” button to compare policies and prices.

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 Wisconsin?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. Insurers consider various factors, including a vehicle’s make and model, when determining premiums.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $1,763 per year, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V in Wisconsin is $1,480 – a difference of $283.

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

In Wisconsin, your car’s model year affects how much you pay for insurance. For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX has an annual premium of $2,776 per year, while the 2024 model costs $1,736 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in Wisconsin, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $2,776 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $2,402 annually – a difference of $374 per year.

Luxury features like high-end sound systems or advanced infotainment can increase insurance rates, since they add to the car’s value. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines often increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
