Agent Tip: Is liability-only insurance sufficient coverage for drivers in Illinois?

Britney Balk

Britney Balk

Linkedin

Customer Service Supervisor, Insurify

Liability-only insurance might not be enough if you cause a serious accident in Illinois. Medical bills and repair costs can quickly exceed the state’s 25/50/25 minimum requirements. You’d have to pay the difference out of pocket.

You should consider increasing your liability limits to make sure you have enough coverage. You can also buy a full-coverage car insurance policy. Full coverage gives you more financial protection if you cause an accident. It even helps pay for your injuries and vehicle repairs.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Illinois: Auto-Owners

If you want the most financial protection in an accident, you’ll need full-coverage car insurance. Full coverage includes liability insurance, plus collision and comprehensive coverage. It covers not only the other driver in an accident, but also helps pay for your injuries and damages.

In Illinois, the average full-coverage premium costs $158 per month. But some insurance companies offer lower premiums.

Below, you’ll find the cheapest full-coverage car insurance companies in Illinois, according to Insurify data.

  • Various discounts available

  • Many coverage options 

Cons
  • Must work with an agent for a quote

  • Low Trustpilot rating

Why we picked this company

If you drive for Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare service in Illinois, you should consider State Farm. The company offers some of the lowest monthly premiums for Illinois rideshare drivers.

Pros
  • Low rates for Illinois rideshare drivers

  • Above-average customer satisfaction ratings in Illinois

  • Various discounts available

Cons
  • Gap insurance not available

  • Low Trustpilot ratings

  • Fewer optional coverages than competitors

Pros

Cons
  • Higher-than-average number of customer complaints

  • Low Trustpilot ratings

  • Below-average customer and claims satisfaction ratings in Illinois

How car insurance costs in Illinois have changed

Though car insurance costs are trending downward in several states, Insurify analysts predict that average annual premiums in Illinois will cost $1,793 by the end of 2026, up from $1,786 in 2025. The rise in rates is partly due to an increase in distracted driving-related accidents and more frequent severe weather events.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
