We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Average Nebraska car insurance rates by age and gender
Car insurance coverage in Nebraska varies by age and gender, too. Because teens and young adults have less experience on the road, they usually pay higher car insurance rates. But premiums typically decrease around age 25 as drivers become more confident behind the wheel.
Young males typically spend more on auto insurance because research shows they’re at a higher risk for car accidents.[2] Premiums decrease as drivers age until age 70. Rates usually increase for senior drivers to account for factors hindering driving ability, like poor vision and slower reflexes.
The table below lists the average car insurance costs by age and gender in Nebraska, according to Insurify data.

How your driving record affects car insurance rates in Nebraska
Car insurance companies use your driving record to determine how likely you are to file a claim. If you have a clean record, you’ll likely pay less for coverage than a driver with a history of traffic violations. Speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, and DUIs can significantly increase how much you pay for auto insurance.
The table below lists auto insurance costs for Nebraska drivers with incidents on their records, according to data from Insurify.
Driver Record | Average Monthly Quote | % Increase Compared to Good Drivers |
---|---|---|
With accident | $217 | 36% |
With speeding ticket | $210 | 34% |
With DUI | $245 | 43% |
Like many other U.S. states, Nebraska permits car insurance companies to use your credit history when determining your rates. Insurers consider your credit history when determining your risk level as a driver. Drivers with excellent or good credit are usually less likely to file a claim and, as a result, get cheaper car insurance rates.
The table below breaks down the average monthly car insurance rates by credit tier in Nebraska, according to Insurify data.

How to lower your insurance costs in Nebraska
No matter your age, credit history, or where you live, you can always try to save money on your car insurance. These tips can help you reduce how much you spend on your auto insurance coverage in the Cornhusker State:
Explore discounts
Most car insurers offer discounts for policyholders that meet certain criteria. Look for discounts that apply to you, like an anti-theft device discount, a good student discount, or a low-mileage discount.
Consider pay-per-mile insurance
Pay-per-mile insurance might be cost-effective if you don’t drive often because you only pay for the miles you drive.
Bundle your policies
Many insurers offer bundling discounts if you combine homeowners or renters insurance with your auto policy.
Raise your deductible
A higher deductible can lead to lower car insurance premiums. But make sure you have the funds available if you need to file a claim because you’ll pay more out of pocket.
Shop around
Get quotes from at least three different auto insurance insurance companies to make sure you get the cheapest coverage. Then, compare rates, coverage options, and customer reviews to find the best policy for your situation.
