Lincoln drivers pay an average of $95 per month for liability coverage and $198 per month for full-coverage car insurance. That’s on par with the state averages of $89 for liability-only coverage and $216 for full coverage. In comparison, the national averages are $104 and $213, respectively.
With the second-largest population in the state, Lincoln has a high population density, which could help explain its comparatively high car insurance rates. More people living in an area increases traffic congestion, which can lead to more traffic accidents. Other factors besides location affect car insurance rates, including driver profile, driving history, and vehicle type.
Drivers in Lincoln can expect to find the cheapest liability-only and full-coverage auto insurance from Auto-Owners.
Nebraska’s minimum car insurance coverage includes uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. According to the Insurance Research Council (IRC), more than 9% of Nebraska drivers are uninsured.

Our editorial team spent 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. Criteria are weighted 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 5 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. We update ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.
Third-party financial ratings: We use 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 20,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also considered 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 United States, 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 identified the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share to score availability and reach.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Lincoln
Lincoln car insurance is relatively inexpensive, but some drivers pay higher rates than others. While you can’t change your age or erase your driving record, you still have some ways to get a lower premium:
Compare quotes. Every insurer will weigh the information in your driver profile a little differently. Comparing quotes is the best way to get the lowest price for your unique situation. You can get direct quotes online, call an independent agency or broker, or use an insurance-comparison site to save time.
Ask about other discounts. You can also ask your insurance agent about telematics programs, vehicle equipment discounts, payment discounts, student discounts, driver’s education discounts, affiliation discounts, and other ways to save.
Increase your deductible. Choosing a high deductiblefor your car insurance policy will lower your premiums. Just make sure you can cover your share of the responsibility for a large repair bill in the event of an accident.
Drop optional coverages. If you have an old or inexpensive vehicle worth less than 10 times your premium, it might not make sense to carry full-coverage auto insurance. A liability-only policy may save you money.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Lincoln: Auto-Owners
Liability insurance includes bodily injury liability coverage, which pays for the other party’s medical bills in an accident you cause, and property damage liability coverage, which repairs or replaces the damaged vehicle or property in an accident you cause.[2]
In Nebraska, liability policies also include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which reimburses you if you’re the victim of a hit-and-run or hit by a driver without sufficient insurance coverage.
Liability-only insurance is cheaper than full coverage and may be enough for Lincoln drivers with an older-model vehicle or inexpensive car. But liability won’t pay to repair or replace your car in an at-fault accident, so it’s important to consider your ability to pay for repairs before deciding on a liability-only policy.
Below are the average monthly quotes each insurance company offers for liability-only insurance in Lincoln. Drivers in Lincoln can expect to pay a monthly average of $95 for liability-only auto insurance.

Car insurance requirements in Nebraska
Nebraska is an at-fault, or tort, state for car insurance, meaning drivers are held liable for accidents they cause. Another driver can sue you if your insurance won’t cover all their losses, so you may want to consider higher limits than required by law.
Below are the minimum car insurance requirements that Nebraska law mandates. If you choose to forgo car insurance in Nebraska, you must show alternative proof of financial responsibility.[3]
Bodily injury liability
$25,000 per person
$50,000 per accident
Property damage liability
$25,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured motorist bodily injury liability
$25,000 per person
$50,000 per accident
Underinsured motorist bodily injury liability
$25,000 per person
$50,000 per accident
You may also want to consider the following optional coverages:
Comprehensive coverage: This covers theft or damage to your vehicle after a non-collision event, like a fire.
Collision coverage: This pays to repair or replace your vehicle after it gets damaged in an accident you cause.
Medical payments: This covers your and your passengers’ medical expenses after an at-fault accident.
Gap insurance: This covers the difference between what your car is worth and what you still owe on your loan in the event of a total loss.
Roadside assistance: This provides assistance if you get stuck on the road due to a flat tire, run out of gas, get locked out, or need a tow. Specific coverages vary by insurance company.
Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident
If you have speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, or other moving violations on your record, insurance companies will charge you higher premiums to account for the added risk. Driving under the influence is a particularly serious offense that requires you to have an SR-22 certificate on file when reinstating your license in Nebraska.[4]
Incidents on your driving record can increase your car insurance rates dramatically. On average, drivers with incidents on their records pay $132 per month for liability coverage. You can see the effect of various infractions on average premiums in the charts below.

Age is an important factor in determining car insurance rates since it relates to your years of experience driving. Drivers in their 50s and 60s typically pay the lowest prices. But rates increase for seniors around age 70 due to a greater risk of accidents and more severe injuries.
Still, seniors pay lower rates than teen drivers, and some companies offer particularly affordable quotes for older drivers in Lincoln. On average, senior drivers in Lincoln pay $60 per month for minimum coverage and $126 for full-coverage car insurance.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: Auto-Owners
Teens pay some of the highest car insurance premiums in Lincoln because their lack of driving experience makes them riskier to insure. Teen drivers are more likely to be in car accidents than any other age group, and the crash death rate for teen boys is especially high.[5] Insurance companies charge significantly higher rates for Lincoln teens, but it’s still possible to get affordable coverage.
One way to keep costs low is to stay on your parents’ insurance plan. Their rates may increase, but it’s often cheaper than buying your own policy. Some insurance companies also offer discounts for using a telematics device or taking a driver training course. And having a safe car helps as well. You can also typically earn a good student discount by maintaining good grades.
Since some companies offer more generous rates to young drivers than others, it’s also helpful to compare quotes. Teen drivers in Lincoln pay, on average, $344 per month for full coverage and $165 for liability only.
Below are the cheapest insurance companies for teens in Lincoln and the average monthly quote each company offers teen drivers.

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 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 50+ 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.
