Clearcover is a tech-focused company that allows you to edit your policy and make claims via an easy-to-use mobile app. Although it doesn’t offer extensive optional coverages, the ability to access roadside assistance from the app is a convenient perk. Clearcover also boasts a record claim-payout time of just seven minutes, but states its typical average claim processing time is "within a week."

Midvale Home & Auto, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Family Insurance, has some of the lowest rates available in Nebraska for full-coverage policies. Drivers have the opportunity to save more if they bundle their auto insurance with either homeowners, renters, or condo insurance. Midvale’s lack of complaints in the state through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) should give Nebraska drivers confidence in the company’s customer service and claims process.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Nebraska
Even if you don’t qualify for a policy from the cheapest car insurance companies, you can still get affordable car insurance. Consider these tips for getting the cheapest car insurance in Nebraska:
Ask about discounts. Contact an insurance agent and ask which money-saving discounts you might be eligible for. Common discounts include multi-vehicle, good student, and bundling (auto with home or renters coverage). You may qualify for discounts by belonging to specific professional associations, taking a defensive driving course, or having a vehicle with certain safety features.
Increase your deductible. You may be able to get lower rates if you raise your collision or comprehensive deductible. Just be sure you can afford the up-front cost if you file a claim.
Bundle policies and coverage. Whether you have multiple vehicles or another insurance product, like life insurance, homeowners insurance, or agricultural insurance, you may receive discounts for an insurance bundle.
Increase or maintain your credit. Nebraska car insurance companies can use your credit history when underwriting your auto insurance policy.[2] Increasing your score or maintaining good credit will help you get the best rate.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for Nebraskans 15 to 19 years old, which is why teen car insurance rates are higher than other age groups’ rates.[4]
While drivers start paying lower rates around age 35, senior drivers will probably see their car insurance rates increase slightly around age 70. Insurance industry data shows senior drivers have an increased risk of accidents due to age-related changes in vision, reflexes, and cognitive abilities.

Collision coverage
Collision insurance pays for physical damage when you collide with an object or another vehicle, even in an at-fault accident. Collision also covers rollover accidents and pothole damage.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for non-collision physical damage, like falling objects, weather events, theft, vandalism, fire, or hitting an animal.
Medical payments (MedPay) coverage
Medical payments insurance covers the medical bills and funeral expenses for yourself, household members, and others in your vehicle.
Rental reimbursement coverage
This pays for a temporary vehicle while yours is in the shop for covered repairs.
Towing or emergency road service
Also called roadside assistance coverage, this pays for the expenses of transporting your car to a repair shop or a service call for a flat tire or dead battery.
Cheapest car insurance in Nebraska by driving record
Multiple factors influence auto insurance rates. But if you want to receive the most competitive prices, try to keep your driving record free of incidents. Even safe drivers can make costly mistakes, such as getting a DUI, being in an at-fault accident, receiving a speeding ticket, or getting another moving violation.
For example, Nebraska drivers with a clean record pay $84 per month for a liability policy, while drivers with a DUI pay an average of $147 per month. Insurers raise rates for drivers with incidents to account for the increased risk they’ll file a claim.
