Best Car Insurance Companies in Quincy

If you wanted to find the best rates in Quincy, you'd have to compare hundreds of insurance providers and thousands of coverage options...but we've done all the research for you!

To discover the best of the best, Jerry conducted one of the nation's largest shopping surveys.

We found that

State Farm

Allstate

, Country Insurance,

Travelers

, and Assurant held the biggest market shares in Illinois.

However, they didn’t necessarily earn the highest ratings. Because every car insurance provider calculates premiums differently, the best insurance policy varies from driver to driver.

You’ll have to compare quotes from at least three companies while shopping for auto insurance to find what works for you.

The table below shows how drivers in Quincy rate different companies on a scale of 0 to 5.

Insurance Company	Overall Rating	Price	Claims Experience	Customer Service
Progressive	4.4	3.9	4.1	4.4
Allstate	4.4	3.6	4.2	4.7
Liberty Mutual	4.2	4	N/A	4.2
State Farm	3.9	3.7	2.8	4.1
Geico	3.7	2.9	4.2	3.7

Best cheap car insurance quotes in Quincy

Illinois car insurance laws require every driver—including those in Quincy—to carry

liability car insurance

and

Uninsured Motorist/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) bodily injury coverage

Liability insurance covers the costs of treating anyone you injure in an at-fault accident and repairing (or replacing) any property you damage. However, UM/UIM bodily injury coverage covers the medical expenses of you and your passengers if they exceed the at-fault driver’s coverage limits.

Cheap minimum liability insurance quotes in Quincy

The minimum liability coverage requirements in Quincy, Illinois, follow a 25/50/20 (plus 25/50) rule.

To put it simply, you'll need a policy that covers at least:

$25,000 of

bodily injury liability

coverage per person

$50,000 of bodily injury liability coverage per accident

$20,000 of

property damage liability

coverage per accident

$25,000 of UM/UIM bodily injury coverage per person

$50,000 of UM/UIM bodily injury coverage per accident

By sticking with the minimum required liability coverage, you’ll probably pay the lowest rates. Jerry helps Quincy drivers find low rates for no-frills coverage.

Do you need more than minimum coverage in Quincy?

In Quincy, drivers should consider topping up their liability coverage beyond the state's minimum requirement of 25/50/20.

The state minimum coverage requirements provide a lot of protection, but medical and repair bills tend to add up.

If you cause a car accident and the injured party’s expenses exceed your coverage limits, you’ll have to pay the rest out of pocket. They also have the right to sue you in a personal injury lawsuit for up to two years after the accident, according to

Illinois’s car accident laws

The bottom line: Doubling your liability and UM/UIM coverage limits won’t double your rates, but it’ll provide better financial protection in the event of a serious car accident.

Cheap full coverage car insurance quotes in Quincy

Full-coverage car insurance

isn't required by law, but it provides coverage for repairs to (or a replacement of) your vehicles.

A full coverage policy includes

collision coverage

and

comprehensive coverage

Collision insurance covers the costs of repairing or replacing your car following an accident with another vehicle or stationary object.

Comprehensive coverage also covers the costs of repairing or replacing your car but it only applies to damages caused by theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.

If you have a car loan, your lender will require you to maintain collision and comprehensive coverage until you’ve paid off your car. You can cut costs by using Jerry to find the lowest full coverage car insurance rates in Quincy.

Insurance Coverage	Insurance Company	Premium (monthly)	Customer	Car
• State Minimum Liability • Comp / Collision	Progressive	$125	Leon, 22 Zip: 62301	KIA Sorento LX
• 50,000/100,000 Liability • Comp / Collision	Clearcover	$85	Nina, 34 Zip: 62305	Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

The easiest and fastest way to find the cheapest car insurance for your preferred coverage option is to compare car insurance rates online.

Jerry offers a free app that compares car insurance quotes and provides end-to-end service to customers with the help of 100+ licensed insurance agents.

In helping hundreds of Quincy drivers find cheaper rates, we found the average cost for minimum liability coverage to be $89 per month or $1,063 per year.

The average cost for full coverage insurance in Quincy is $190 per month or $2,280 per year.

Insurance coverage	Average insurance cost (monthly)	Average insurance cost (yearly)
State minimum coverage	$61	$731
Full coverage	$125	$1,496

While the national average can give you an idea of potential insurance costs, individual insurance premiums are influenced by many factors. Car insurance rates are determined by your driver profile, driving record, and claims history, among other things.

Your actual costs could be hundreds of dollars higher than the average—or, if you use a quote-comparison app, hundreds of dollars less.

Average cost of car insurance in Quincy by zip code

Even though two nearly-identical drivers live in the same city, their car insurance rates can vary depending on their zip codes.

High-risk neighborhoods have a higher rate of vandalism, motor vehicle theft, and car accidents. People living in these neighborhoods pay more for car insurance.

Zip Code	Average State Minimum Coverage Rate	Average Full Coverage Rate
62301	$50	$86
62305	$51	$64

"Jerry is the new benchmark in app usefulness. Period. It is SO EASY and the results are SO GOOD, and they specifically point out that no one is going to start calling and emailing me all the time. I gave very little info, it pulled up all my existing insurance info, and showed me how to get the same insurance for less, lesser coverage for huge savings, or better coverage for about the same I currently pay. I am personally saving around $1,400/year with my new insurance, and the entire process (including follow ups to sign the docs from the insurance companies) took less than an hour. If you make over $1,400/hour, this may not be worth your time. Otherwise, get the app and use it now!"

plays a large role in deciding your car insurance rates. For one, the number of driver violation points on your driver’s license can add quite a few dollars to your monthly premiums.

Getting the right

Good drivers. If you’ve held a

clean driving record

for at least three years, you’re due for some sweet discounts.

Telematics device users. Telematics devices track how far you drive, when you drive, and how you drive. If you brake often and hard, this isn’t the program for you. But if you’re a calm and mellow driver, you could reap a low rate as a reward!

Good students. Full-time high school and college students with a B average or better can translate their scholastic successes into savings.

Insurance bundlers. Bundle your car and home insurance and you could pay less for each of them.

3. Increase your deductible for comprehensive and collision coverage

If you’ve got full coverage car insurance, increasing your deductible is an easy way to keep your monthly expenses low without sacrificing coverage.

Why is car insurance in Quincy so expensive?

Congestion: Because driving in Quincy incurs a higher risk of dents, dings, and cracked windows than driving in the countryside, insurance rates are higher, too.

Motor vehicle theft: Similar to congestion, high motor vehicle theft rates in Quincy lead insurance providers to increase your premiums.

Fatality rates: Around one quarter of the fatal car crashes in Illinois in 2021 happened on urban roads. Because of the high costs associated with motor vehicle fatalities, Quincy drivers pay higher rates.
