Average teen car insurance costs in Nebraska

On average, insuring a teen driver in Nebraska costs $5,585 per year for a policy with 100/300/100 coverage limits – that’s $100,000 for one person injured in an accident, $300,000 for all injuries in a single accident, and $100,000 for property damage – plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive.

Because teens are new to the road, insurers view them as higher risk, which makes their premiums much steeper than those of adults.

Your rate may also change based on the coverage you select, the type of car your teen drives, and where you live. Families in Nebraska can save money by asking about good student discounts, signing up teens for a driving course, or adding them to an existing family policy.

Average teen car insurance costs in Nebraska, by gender

In most states, car insurance rates differ by gender, though California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania prohibit the practice. In Nebraska, a 16-year-old male pays about $7,953 per year, compared to $6,847 for a female of the same age – a difference of $1,106.

According to the most recent data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a total of 3,048 teenagers ages 13-19 lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2023, with two of every three teenagers who died in crashes in 2023 being males.

These crash trends help explain why teen boys usually face higher insurance costs than girls. Because young men are more likely to be in serious accidents, insurers factor that added risk into their rates.

The table below shows car insurance rates for teens by gender in Nebraska.

Minimum car insurance requirements for teens in Nebraska

In Nebraska, teen drivers must carry the same minimum liability coverage as adults before getting behind the wheel. That includes:

  • $25,000 in bodily injury liability per person
  • $50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident
  • $25,000 in property damage liability

State-minimum limits offer only basic protection, and the cost of medical care or vehicle repairs can easily exceed them. That’s why it’s wise to choose higher coverage limits-especially when adding a new teen driver to your policy.

If your car is financed or leased, your lender will require comprehensive and collision coverage. These protections help pay for repairs to your own vehicle after an accident, theft, or weather damage.

Ways to save on teen car insurance in Nebraska

While teen premiums are high, there are steps you can take to lower costs without cutting back on safety:

  • Check averages first. Knowing what others pay in your state helps you budget and spot quotes that are too high.
  • Choose a practical car. A safe, modest sedan is much cheaper to insure than a luxury or sports model.
  • Go beyond liability. Full coverage is pricier but offers better protection against accidents, injuries, and damage.
  • Use discounts. Good grades, safe driving programs, and low mileage can all reduce premiums.
  • Talk about responsibility. Help your teen understand that safe driving protects both lives and finances.
  • Review each year. Rates usually drop as teens gain experience and keep a clean record, so revisit your policy annually.

Giving your teen a safe start on the road

Adding a teen driver to your policy will raise costs at first, but rates typically decline as they gain experience.

You can keep expenses under control by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and taking advantage of discounts. More importantly, the right coverage helps your teen build confidence and keeps your family financially protected as they start driving.
