At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
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.

Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Nebraska to assess which offer the best rates, coverage options, customer service, and savings to drivers. We prioritized competitive rates, 24/7 customer service, low-mileage discounts or programs, safe driving discounts, homeownership discounts or bundling options, and specialty or supplemental coverages.
How to get the best car insurance in Nebraska
If you’re paying too much for insurance, here are some excellent ways you can get a lower rate:[1] [2]
Choose a policy offering minimum car insurance coverage
If you have a paid-off car that you can afford to replace, you may not need to buy full-coverage car insurance. You’re only legally required to carry minimum car insurance, consisting of property damage and bodily injury liability coverage (plus protection from uninsured and underinsured motorists). These are cheaper car insurance policies, but they won’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage if you’re at fault in an accident. But if you’re financing or leasing a vehicle, your lender will likely require full coverage.
Practice safe driving habits
Safe drivers pay lower rates than drivers with an incident on their record. They also save money from not having to file a claim or pay tickets and court costs. Even a single DUI conviction can raise your rates tremendously. Many insurers also offer extra discounts for drivers who go a long time without filing any claims or for taking safe driver courses.
Consider ratings and reviews from customers
Cheap car insurance is all well and good, but sometimes that comes with a trade-off when it comes to service. Larger companies typically have a wealth of reviews on Google and Yelp, and independent surveyors like J.D. Power and the NAIC can help you view collective data from customers.
Compare free quotes
The best way to get cheap car insurance is to compare free quotes from as many insurers as you can. Start with at least three insurers, but the more you can compare, the better. It’s usually a quick process to get a free rate quote by entering your ZIP code and some basic information on an insurer’s website.
