Get Car Insurance in Elgin, IL 

Elgin, IL, roughly an hour outside of Chicago, is a town filled with history, diverse communities, and bustling small businesses. Though Elgin can be a walkable place, residents may rely heavily on driving due to its suburban environment.  

Whether you’re commuting on I-90 or heading somewhere locally, it may be important for drivers to have auto insurance in Elgin, IL that fits their needs. That’s where Illinois Vehicle Insurance Agency, LLC (Illinois Vehicle) can help. Here, we’ll walkthrough how Illinois Vehicle can support you through your insurance journey.  

Car insurance requirements in Elgin 

In Illinois, drivers must carry minimum liability insurance. Liability coverage can help pay for damages you cause to someone else’s vehicle or injuries to a third party after an accident. As of March 2025, Illinois minimum liability requirements include: 

  • $25,000 for bodily injury per person 
  • $50,000 for bodily injury per accident 
  • $20,000 for property damage  

Drivers in Illinois are also required to purchase the state minimum for uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage (UMBI). UMBI can help pay for injuries that you or your passengers receive from an accident involving an at-fault uninsured driver. In Illinois, your required UMBI limits as of March 2025 are: 

  • $25,000 for bodily injury per person 
  • $50,000 for bodily injury per accident 

While having the state minimum coverage requirements helps you comply with Illinois law, you may have to pay out of pocket for other accident scenarios like when you damage your own vehicle. Illinois Vehicle works with insurers that have additional coverages that may benefit you. Some of these coverages include:  

  • Collision coverage: This insurance can help pay for damages to your vehicle in an accident, regardless of fault. 
  • Comprehensive coverage: This may help cover damages to your vehicle from non-collision-related damage, such as theft, vandalism, or bad weather. 
  • Medical payments coverage: This insurance may cover medical expenses for you and your passengers in the event of an accident.
