*Methodology for rates by ZIP code:

CarInsurance.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to run auto insurance rates for a 2016 Honda Accord for more than 30,000 ZIP codes in the United States using six large carriers -- Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. (In cases where an insurer’s rate wasn’t available, another major carrier's rate was substituted.) Averages are based on insurance for a single 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/100 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $100,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit. The rate includes uninsured motorist coverage. Average rates are for comparative purposes. Your own rate will depend on your personal factors and vehicle.

Milwaukee car insurance requirements

Wisconsin state law requires the following minimum car insurance coverage:
Minimum bodily injury liability$25,000/$50,000
Minimum property damage liability$10,000
Uninsured motorist bodily injury$25,000/$50,000
Underinsured motorist bodily injuryOptional

Cheap car insurance: Milwaukee

Minimum liability coverage limits of 25/50/10 are required to drive in Wisconsin. That means your insurance company will pay up to $25,000 per person injured in an accident you cause, up to $50,000 per accident, and up to $10,000 for damage you cause to another car or other property. Buying the state required limits is definitely the cheapest way to go. But your assets and savings aren’t shielded from lawsuits and you won’t be covered for damage to your own car. Additionally, the cost to pay for damages from even a minor accident can easily exceed these limits, leaving you responsible to pay out-of-pocket for repair and medical bills.

Recommended coverage amounts

Penny Gusner, CarInsurance.com consumer analyst, recommends buying full coverage unless you have an old car or no assets. It does cost more to buy more protection, but as you’ll see below, additional coverage is typically affordable. Based on an analysis outlined below of rate fielded from six major insurers for Milwaukee ZIP codes, increasing your insurance from the state minimum to full coverage with a $500 deductible costs, on average, $1,199 more, or about $100 a month. But just hiking to higher liability costs just $72 yearly, or $6 a month.

Average Milwaukee rates for three coverage levels:

  • State minimum average annual rate: $601
  • Liability only; 100/50/100 average annual rate: $673
  • Full coverage of 100/300/100, with comprehensive and collision: $1,800

For more details on how comprehensive insurance, collision insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, and liability work to pay for your injuries and car repairs, as well as damage and injuries you cause to others in an accident, see our Wisconsin car insurance page or explanations of the different types of car insurance.
