Why you pay what you pay for your Nebraska policy

The following factors typically affect your car insurance rate in Nebraska:

  • Past driving record
  • Age, gender, and marital status
  • ZIP Code
  • Car make and model
  • How you use your car (commuting, Sunday drives, etc.)
  • Credit-based insurance score
  • The coverages, limits, and deductibles you choose

Uninsured drivers in Nebraska

A recent report from the Insurance Research Council estimated that 8 percent of Nebraska's drivers were uninsured. That was below the national average of 13.8 percent, but it still means that nearly 1 in 10 drivers lack coverage.

Though it's not required, uninsured motorist coverage is relatively affordable and can come in handy after an accident caused by an uninsured driver.

Alternative car insurance options

If you're considered a high-risk driver because of DUIs or a dubious driving history, you may have a hard time finding car insurance through typical channels.

If that happens, you might be eligible for the Nebraska Automobile Insurance Plan. A licensed insurance agent can provide more info.
