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.
Finding the right car insurance policy can be a challenge since everyone has different needs and priorities. To help you shop for the best policy, Insurify analyzed 50 insurers to determine the best car insurance in Wisconsin. If you’re considering changing insurance companies, the following list can provide an excellent starting point.
Here’s what you should know about the car insurance options in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin drivers have plenty of highly rated companies to choose from when shopping for car insurance. To help you find the best option for you, we’ve identified the five best car insurance companies in Wisconsin based on factors like average rates, customer satisfaction, discount and coverage options, and more.
| User Reviews | 4.2 |
|---|---|
| IQ Score The Insurify Quality (IQ) Score uses more than 15 criteria to objectively rate insurance companies on a one-to-ten scale. The Insurify editorial team researches insurer data to determine the final scores. | 9.3 /10 |
| Liability Only Liability-only insurance, sometimes called minimum-coverage insurance, pays for bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident the policyholder causes. It does not pay for the insured’s own damages. | $23/mo |
| Full Coverage Full-coverage car insurance generally includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage, and may include other optional coverages such as uninsured motorist coverage. Collision covers a policyholder’s repair or replacement costs in case of an accident. Comprehensive covers damages caused by non-accident events. The average quote displayed here reflects policies with the following coverage limits: $50,000 bodily injury liability per person; $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident; $50,00 property damage liability per accident; $1,000 collision deductible; and a $1,000 comprehensive deductible. | $45/mo |

The price of the insurance isn't bad, but they're horrible at communicating about a claim. They dragged their feet on my claim. I had to send numerous emails and make a few phone calls just to get my car paid off. It took 25 days when I was told it would take 10 to 15 days max.

Auto-Owners combines excellent service with a wide variety of coverage options. Some of its optional coverages include additional expense coverage, gap insurance, diminished value coverage, at-fault accident forgiveness, common loss deductible, and more.
Auto-Owners has a large network of local independent agents, so you can feel like you’re working with a small local business. Additionally, the company is one of the most affordable companies for Wisconsin drivers.

Our editorial team analyzed regional and national auto insurance companies that sell policies in Wisconsin 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.
Whether you’re shopping for car insurance in Wisconsin for the first time or need a new policy, here are a few strategies to help you find the best car insurance for your situation.
Before shopping for car insurance, it’s always a good idea to know how much coverage you need. Most drivers will benefit from purchasing even more coverage than the state requires. The minimum liability coverage limits may not cover all damages from an accident, and it doesn’t pay for repairs to your vehicle.[1] A full-coverage policy with collision and comprehensive insurance provides more protection for your vehicle.
Beyond the standard coverage options, companies have varying optional coverages. For example, some companies offer gap insurance, rideshare coverage, new-car replacement, and more, while others have a small list of coverages. Decide what type of additional coverages you need to ensure you choose a company that offers them.
It’s always worth finding out how other customers feel about a company before you sign on with them. You can find plenty of insurer reviews on sites like Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, Insurify, and more. Reading those reviews can give you an idea of whether other people have had a positive experience.
In addition to reading reviews from other customers, consider looking at customer service ratings from third-party organizations like J.D. Power, AM Best, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. This can help you compare customer satisfaction and financial strength ratings by company. High customer satisfaction rankings can indicate that you’ll get good service from that company.
Car insurance companies come in all forms. Some are small, regional companies, while others are large, nationwide insurers. Some operate using local agents, while others have a central customer service department. Some rely heavily on technology for their quote process, policy management, and claims process, while others require you to work through an agent.
It’s important to consider what type of service you feel most comfortable with so you can narrow down your list to companies that fit that need.
Before choosing an insurance company, it’s worth getting a quote from several different companies to see which will offer you the best rate without sacrificing coverage and service. You can shop with several companies on their websites or use an insurance-comparison tool to compare rates from many companies at once.
In addition to comparing quotes, consider what discounts each company offers and how much you can save on your premiums. A company may have slightly higher rates but enough discounts to make up for it.

Wisconsin drivers pay an average of $66 per month for liability insurance and $134 for full-coverage car insurance. The state’s average premiums are considerably lower than the national average of $105 per month for liability and $199 for full coverage.
A combination of relatively low minimum insurance requirements, below-average accident fatality rates, and a lower population density than most states could contribute to Wisconsin’s below-average rates.
In addition to location, insurers use several other rating factors to set insurance premiums. Your age, driving history, vehicle, and other factors all affect your rates, and you could end up paying more or less than the average.[2]
The following information can help answer your remaining questions about finding the best car insurance in Wisconsin.
On average, Wisconsin drivers pay $66 per month for liability-only insurance and $134 for full-coverage car insurance. The overall average cost of car insurance in Wisconsin is $100 per month.
Wisconsin has many excellent car insurance companies, but some of the best include State Farm, Erie, American Family, USAA, and Auto-Owners. The best insurer for you depends on your unique circumstances and budget.
Wisconsin law requires all drivers to have at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident of bodily injury liability insurance and at least $10,000 of property damage liability coverage. The state also requires uninsured motorist coverage for bodily injury coverage in the same amounts.[3]
