Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.
We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 55,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Cedar Rapids
Driving history, location, and many other factors can affect which insurance company offers you the cheapest coverage. To make sure you pay the lowest rates possible for your situation, follow these tips:
Get quotes. Since premium costs vary by auto insurer, it’s helpful to compare prices from several different companies. An independent insurance agent can shop for policies for you, or you can use a quote-comparison tool to look at multiple quotes at once.
Increase your deductible. A deductible is what you pay up front before your insurance covers the rest. A policy with a higher deductible comes at a lower cost, although you'll have to pay more out of pocket when you file a claim.
Look for discounts. You can get discounts for bundling coverage, as well as for other specific things, such as having a safe driving record. Take advantage of any opportunities for saving that you might be eligible for.
Increase your credit score. With some limitations, insurers are allowed to consider credit history when setting insurance premiums.[3] As a result, increasing your score could help reduce your rates.

Car insurance requirements in Iowa
Iowa requires all drivers to meet the following minimum coverage requirements:[4]
Coverage
▲▼
Minimum Requirements
▲▼
Bodily injury liability
$20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$15,000 per accident
However, these minimum coverage requirements are just that: minimums. You may consider purchasing additional coverages to boost your protection on the road. Look into coverage options like the following:
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for vehicle damages and repairs when you hit a stationary object or another vehicle, even if you’re at fault.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage pays for vehicle damages and losses in non-collision events, like theft, vandalism, weather events, falling objects, and more.
Gap coverage
If you finance or lease your vehicle, gap coverage pays for the difference between your loan balance and the insurance settlement in the event of a total loss.
Rental car reimbursement
This pays for a rental car for you to drive while your vehicle is in the shop for repairs after a claim.
Roadside assistance
This kicks in when your car breaks down on the side of the road and you need a tow, tire change, or battery jump-start.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
Incidents on your driving record can increase your car insurance premiums considerably, depending on the offense. Speeding tickets, driving under the influence, and at-fault accidents all go on your driving record, which insurance companies consider when setting rates.
If you’re ticketed, arrested, or in an accident, expect to pay more for coverage because insurers think you’re more likely to file a claim. For example, a DUI alone can double your car insurance rates in Iowa with some insurers.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Auto-Owners
Teen drivers typically pay much more than older drivers for insurance coverage. Teens cost more to insure because they face the highest accident risks of any demographic.

Teens and young adults pay an average of $196 per month for car insurance in Cedar Rapids. While insurers generally charge higher premiums for teen drivers, some companies have more affordable rates than others. Check out the table below for the cheapest insurance companies for teen drivers in Cedar Rapids.
