Car insurance providers in Wisconsin use a variety of factors when determining car insurance rates. The most important factors in pricing your premium are adding a teen driver, age of driver and credit score. Notably, adding a teen driver in Wisconsin can increase your rate by as much as 3x.
In Wisconsin, adding a teen driver to your policy significantly increases your car insurance premium. Insurers consider teen drivers as risky to insure due to their inexperience. As such, your rates can increase by 3x if you add a teen driver to your policy.
A driver’s age is an important factor that insurance companies consider when pricing policies. Younger drivers tend to have less experience, so they pay more than middle-aged drivers.
In Wisconsin, a young driver (aged 19-20) pays around 2.6x more per year than a 40-year-old driver.
Insurance companies in Wisconsin do consider coverage levels and the deductible amount when calculating your rate. In general, the more protection you get, the more expensive your policy becomes.
A state minimum liability-only policy is the most affordable auto insurance in Wisconsin, while full coverage with 100/300/100 liability limits and a $500 deductible is the most expensive. On average, your coverage level can increase your price by 2.1x.
Your credit score matters when determining car insurance rates in Wisconsin — that may be because people with poor credit scores could have missed payments in the past or have a high amount of debt.
In Wisconsin, you get the cheapest car insurance if you have excellent credit. Conversely, having poor credit can increase your rates by 2.3x.
Insurance companies do review your driving record when calculating your car insurance rates. If you’ve had a DUI, a speeding ticket or an accident, insurers consider you riskier to insure and charge you more.
In Wisconsin, a clean record results in the cheapest rates, while a violation can cause your car insurance to be 2x more per year.
The amount of insurance you buy greatly affects your car insurance premium. Knowing how much car insurance you need in Wisconsin can help you balance affordability and protection.
Wisconsin requires bodily injury liability insurance, property damage liability insurance and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. However, you should assess if those are enough for your situation and consider buying additional liability and collision coverage for added security.
You can look up Wisconsin’s minimum car insurance requirements to know how much insurance you need to buy at the very least.
A state minimum policy in Wisconsin only covers $25,000 for bodily injury per person, up to $50,000 per accident. It doesn’t have comprehensive and collision insurance, which covers damages to your car.
If that’s not enough, you should consider increasing your liability limits and purchasing additional coverage.
To ensure financial protection in case of a major accident, you may need to increase your coverage beyond Wisconsin’s state minimum.
In Wisconsin, a policy with $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident costs roughly $534 per year. Meanwhile, a minimum liability policy costs approximately $443 per year.
You should decide whether you need to buy a full coverage policy, which includes comprehensive and collision insurance. Wisconsin does not require it, but auto lenders may make you have it for leased or financed cars.
In Wisconsin, adding comprehensive and collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible costs around $314 per year. You can consider dropping a full coverage policy if you’ll pay hundreds of dollars per year for a car that’s only worth a few thousand dollars.
Wisconsin does require uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which covers accidents with drivers who have no insurance or insufficient insurance. It is helpful since 13.3% of drivers in Wisconsin are uninsured.
Additionally, you can buy medical payments coverage if you need protection against the cost of medical expenses from a vehicular crash.
