The Average Annual Auto Insurance Premium for a vehicle owned in the state of Nebraska was around $856 for this year, a bit lower than the national average, which was about $942 over the same time period.

relatively low crime rates
low percentage of uninsured vehicles
low rate of fatalities from DUI and speeding
low population density
super strong economy

By state law, Nebraska car owners are required to purchase a minimum insurance coverage of 25/50/25 for each owned vehicle.

In other words, drivers in the state of Nebraska must have $25,000 in personal injury protection, $50,000 in coverage for death or injury to others, and $25,000 to cover the cost of property damage.

United States insurance experts recommend 100/300 injury coverage per vehicle, in Nebraska and in all U.S. states, along with Uninsured Motorist (UMI) protection.
