How Much More Does Better Coverage Cost in Muncie?
Raising liability limits from 50/100/50 to 100/300/100 barely changes the average in our Muncie data: with the same $500 deductibles, full coverage averages $1,903 a year and 50/100/50 averages $1,898. The full-coverage package doubles the per-person injury limit, triples the per-crash limit and doubles the property damage limit, and it raises uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to 100/300. Allstate and Auto-Owners charge less for 100/300/100 than for 50/100/50 for our benchmark driver.
Is Car Insurance Going Up in Muncie?

How to Lower Your Car Insurance Rate in Muncie
- Compare Progressive and Auto-Owners first. They have the two lowest full-coverage averages among the insurers we rank in Muncie, about $94 and $139 a month.
- Quote several insurers. Among the insurers we rank in Muncie, the lowest and highest averages are about $114 a month apart for the same driver and car.
- Think twice before rejecting uninsured motorist coverage. New Indiana policies include it unless you reject it in writing (a rejection carries over to your renewals), and it pays for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance or too little. Our full-coverage prices include it at 100/300.
- Compare at every renewal. Since November 2025, Progressive has cut its Muncie average 2.2%, while Indiana Farm Bureau has raised its average 3.4% and Auto-Owners 1.3%, so the order in our table can shift.
- Price a bundle. Pairing your auto policy with a home or renters policy usually earns a multi-policy discount. See Indiana home insurance rates.

How We Calculated Muncie Car Insurance Rates
Insurers must file their rates and rating rules with each state’s insurance regulator. Quadrant Information Services uses those filings to calculate what each insurer would charge a specific driver, and InsuranceQuotes analyzes those prices. This page uses rates in effect on Aug. 31, 2026.
- Sample: 12 full-coverage premiums from four insurers across three Muncie ZIP codes, plus the same number of liability-only and 50/100/50 premiums.
- Insurer count: our Indiana averages come from four insurers, fewer than in most states, so they can move more when one insurer changes its prices. We publish them as calculated, without adjustment.
- Driver: a single 40-year-old driver, licensed 24 years, with good credit and no accidents or violations, driving a 2024 Toyota Camry LE they own, for personal use.
- Coverage: full coverage is 100/300/100 liability with $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles and 100/300 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. We also price 50/100/50 with the same deductibles, and liability-only coverage at 25/50/10 limits, with 25/50 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and no comprehensive or collision. Indiana’s minimum has been 25/50/25 since July 1, 2018, so our liability-only prices use lower limits than the law requires. The package’s $10,000 property damage limit and 25/50 underinsured motorist limits are both lower than Indiana requires: $25,000 for property damage and, according to the Department of Insurance, $50,000 for underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage when a policy includes it.
- Calculation: for each insurer we take its lowest eligible price in each ZIP code and average those prices across the ZIP codes. The overall average is the mean of every insurer-and-ZIP price. Monthly figures are annual premiums divided by 12 and rounded.
- Rankings: we name a cheapest insurer only where it’s priced in at least half the ZIP codes and its lead over the next insurer isn’t so wide that it looks like an outlier. Annual prices within 3% of each other are called effectively tied.
- Rate changes: we compare the same insurer in the same ZIP codes, for the same driver and coverage, in rates as of Nov. 30, 2025, and Aug. 31, 2026. State Farm’s row uses its November 2025 rates, so it’s left out of rate-change comparisons; the other four insurers are compared in both sets of rates. Rate-change percentages are calculated from the annual premiums shown; other percentages use the rounded monthly figures.
- Insurers marked *: priced from recent published Indiana rate studies, scaled to our benchmark driver. They aren’t included in our averages or rankings. The State Farm row shows its November 2025 rates, so it isn’t included in our averages or rankings.
- What this isn’t: a quote. These are modeled prices for one driver profile, calculated from insurers’ rate filings. Your price depends on your ZIP code, vehicle, driving record, coverage choices and discounts.
Coverage requirements come from Indiana law and the Indiana Department of Insurance. We refresh these figures when new rate data is released.
