Minimum Coverage Requirements in Indiana

Drivers with DUI convictions, major violations, or suspensions must file SR-22 with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for 3 years. Once the 3-year filing period ends, rates begin declining, though the underlying offense remains on your record for 5–10 years depending on severity.

Liability Insurance

Indiana's minimum 25/50/25 liability limits are mandatory for all drivers and remain required after SR-22 filing ends. Post-SR22 drivers often carry higher limits (50/100/50 or 100/300/100) because carriers view them as higher risk and minor accidents can trigger surcharges that erase any savings from minimum coverage. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will suspend your license immediately if coverage lapses, even after the SR-22 period ends.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Indiana requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, though you can reject it in writing. Post-SR22 drivers benefit from carrying UM/UIM because they already have one major violation — a second at-fault claim or uninsured accident can push them back into assigned risk pools. Indiana's UM rejection must be documented annually, and many carriers automatically include it unless you opt out.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, comprehensive, and collision and is required by lenders if you finance or lease a vehicle.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, weather, and animal strikes. Post-SR22 drivers often see higher comprehensive rates because insurers price the entire policy — including all coverages — based on the violation history, even though comprehensive claims are not tied to at-fault driving. Indiana averages 7,000–9,000 deer strikes annually, making comprehensive particularly valuable for rural drivers recovering from SR-22.

Collision Coverage

Collision covers damage to your vehicle in an at-fault accident. Post-SR22 drivers pay elevated collision premiums because the original violation signals higher crash risk to insurers.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Type of original offense — DUI surcharges last longer and cost more than suspended license or point accumulation surcharges
  • Claims filed during or after the SR-22 period — even minor at-fault claims extend the high-risk surcharge window
  • Credit-based insurance score — Indiana allows credit scoring, and many post-SR22 drivers see score improvements as they rebuild financially
  • ZIP code and garaging location — urban areas like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have higher base rates and larger post-SR22 surcharges than rural counties
