You can find more details about your state here at Minimum Requirements by States. "State minimum" and "Standard Liability" policies are typically minimum or low-limit policies, providing bare-bones coverage. While these policies have lower rates, we recommend higher limits to ensure sufficient coverage should an accident or vehicle damage occur. "Full Coverage" policies will provide better coverage for you and your vehicle, as they have higher liability limits, plus include coverage for your vehicle through collision and comprehensive insurance. These policies offer the most financial protection should you have to file a claim.

Car insurance calculator Illinois: How to get auto insurance estimates

When it comes to shopping for a policy, CarInsurance.com editors recommend that you get quotes from three different companies around renewal time – every six months – or annually. Get estimates for car insurance by using an online quoting tool.

Why? Because insurance companies have proprietary rating systems, each insurer rates factors like age or driving record differently. So, if you get a ticket, one company might penalize you 5% while another company could penalize you to the tune of 20%.

What factors affect car insurance estimates in Illinois

The biggest variation in insurance estimates from state to state depends on the state law. Tort insurance law varies from no-fault insurance law. Tort insurance law operates on the principle that the person responsible for causing an accident is liable for the damages. This often leads to litigation to determine fault and the extent of damage.

On the contrary, no-fault insurance laws, adopted in several U.S. states, simplifies this process by mandating each party’s insurance company to cover their own client’s bodily injury losses, regardless of who caused the accident.

Calculate new car insurance rates in Illinois by vehicle type

Any time you’re shopping for a new vehicle, make sure to get quotes for car insurance so you can factor that cost into your overall car budget. If you’re looking for an affordable policy, cars that are the cheapest to insure have smaller engines and more safety features. On the other hand, sports cars and luxury vehicles are pricier when it comes to car insurance.

Vehicle TypeAverage Annual Rates
Convertible$2,501
Electric$2,463
Hatchback$1,945
Hybrid$2,149
Luxury Car$2,934
Luxury SUV$2,399
Minivan$1,803
Performance SUV$2,943
Sedan$2,074
Sports Car$3,005
Station Wagon$2,256
SUV$1,804
Truck$2,027
Van$1,626

“The best way to get car insurance quotes is to comparison shop – making sure you are comparing apples to apples. The internet is a great resource to compare insurance products – be sure to line up the exact dollar coverage and any riders included as well,” says Jim Brau, Joel C. Peterson professor of finance at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Business. “If you’re calling specific insurance companies, have them email written quotes to make sure there is no misunderstanding. Oftentimes, lower-cost insurance quotes don’t offer as much protection as higher-priced premiums, so it is an exercise in comparing apples to oranges.”

Illinois car insurance estimates for used cars

Purchasing car insurance for a used vehicle may be more cost-effective than for a new one due to its lower market value. However, it’s crucial to thoroughly understand the coverage specifics and ensure it aligns with your needs, taking factors such as the car’s age, model and mileage into consideration. Similar to buying a new car, the vehicle’s value matters more when it comes to insurance than the model year.

FAQ: How to estimate car insurance rates before buying a car in Illinois

How much auto insurance do I need in Illinois?

The amount of car insurance you need depends on various factors, including your financial situation, the value of your vehicle and your risk tolerance. If your car is leased or financed, your lender may require comprehensive and collision – when paired with liability, this is known as full coverage.

Each state has different minimum insurance requirements, including Illinois. But keep in mind that minimums are merely that – and are rarely enough financial protection in the event of a serious car accident.

RequirementsCoverage Limit
Minimum bodily injury liability$25,000/$50,000
Minimum property damage liability$20,000
Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury$25,000/$50,000

How much does car insurance cost in Illinois per month?

Illinois car insurance estimate for full coverage comprises collision, comprehensive and liability with 100/300/100 is $115 per month. For the state minimum liability, it’s $35, and $39 for a liability policy with limits of 50/100/50.

Does your age impact how much you pay for insurance in Illinois?

Young drivers often pay more for car insurance in Illinois due to their lack of driving experience and statistically higher risk of getting into accidents. Insurance companies use this data to calculate risk, and this factor is built into the premiums that young drivers pay.

Additionally, young drivers are more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as speeding and distracted driving, further increasing the cost of their car insurance.
