State Requirements

Indiana requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage (25/50/25). Drivers convicted of DUI, caught driving without insurance, or who accumulate excessive violations must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for a period typically lasting 3 years. Indiana also mandates uninsured motorist coverage at the same 25/50/25 limits unless the policyholder rejects it in writing.

Liability Insurance
Indiana's 25/50/25 liability minimums are required for all drivers and serve as the foundation for SR-22 filings. High-risk drivers often face claims scrutiny and benefit from higher limits—$50,000/$100,000/$50,000 or greater—to reduce personal exposure if involved in an at-fault accident. Indiana does not allow named driver exclusions on SR-22 policies, so all household members must be covered or separately insured.

SR-22 Insurance
SR-22 is not separate insurance but a certificate filed by your carrier proving continuous coverage to the Indiana BMV. It is triggered by DUI convictions, multiple violations, driving without insurance, or refusing a chemical test. The filing must remain active for 3 years from the date of reinstatement, and any lapse—even one day—restarts the entire 3-year requirement and can result in immediate license suspension.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Indiana requires carriers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, and it is automatically included unless you decline in writing. For high-risk drivers, this coverage is critical: approximately 15% of Indiana drivers are uninsured, and if you are hit by one while fulfilling an SR-22 requirement, your ability to recover damages without UM coverage is limited. Many non-standard carriers bundle this into their policies without the option to waive.
Optional
Collision Coverage
Collision is not required by Indiana law but may be mandated by your lender if you finance or lease a vehicle. High-risk drivers often pay elevated collision premiums due to their driving record, and some non-standard carriers limit coverage to actual cash value with high deductibles ($1,000 or more) to offset risk.
Optional
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision losses like theft, vandalism, and weather damage. It is optional unless required by a lienholder, and high-risk drivers may find non-standard carriers offer it with restricted payouts or higher deductibles to keep premiums manageable.

Cost Overview

High-risk auto insurance in Indiana typically costs $2,200–$4,600 per year for state minimum liability coverage with SR-22 filing, depending on violation type, age, location, and driving history. DUI convictions generally result in the highest premiums—often 2–3 times standard rates—while at-fault accidents or multiple violations may double costs. Rates vary significantly across Indiana cities due to local claim frequency, uninsured motorist rates, and carrier availability.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type: DUI convictions add 150–300% to base rates; multiple speeding tickets or at-fault accidents add 80–150%
  • SR-22 duration remaining: Some carriers reduce rates after the first year of continuous SR-22 coverage without incidents
  • County and city: Urban areas like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne see higher premiums due to claim frequency; rural counties may offer lower rates
  • Age and gender: Drivers under 25 with SR-22 requirements face the highest premiums due to combined age and risk factors
  • Vehicle type: High-performance or luxury vehicles increase collision and comprehensive costs significantly for high-risk profiles
  • Credit-based insurance score: Indiana allows credit scoring for insurance, and drivers with impaired credit combined with violations face compounded rate increases
