Local Auto Insurance That Puts You First
Independent auto insurance for drivers across Jasper County and Northwest Indiana — we compare rates from multiple top-rated carriers so you get honest coverage at a price that makes sense.
From military service to legal service
Most drivers in Rensselaer, DeMotte, and Lowell are paying for a policy they've never had explained to them. They picked a number that felt reasonable, signed the paperwork, and hoped for the best. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you may be leaving real money on the table, or carrying gaps you don't know about yet.
At Ci Insurance, we've been helping Northwest Indiana drivers find the right auto coverage since 1953. As an independent agency, we compare car insurance from multiple carriers in a single conversation. You don't spend hours calling companies one by one. We do the shopping, you make the informed choice.
One Conversation. Multiple Carriers. No Pressure.
When you call a captive agent — State Farm, Indiana Farm Bureau, or any single-brand office — they can only offer you what that company sells. We work differently. As an independent agency, we shop your coverage across multiple top-rated carriers and bring you the comparison. You see your options clearly. We tell you what each one covers and where each one falls short.
That's the independent model. And it's how we've served this community for three generations.
What Does Indiana Require — and What Do You Actually Need?
Indiana law requires every driver to carry minimum liability coverage: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. Those minimums are a legal floor, not a coverage recommendation.
If you cause an accident that injures multiple people or totals a newer vehicle, state minimums can leave you personally responsible for costs that far exceed those limits. Our agents review what you drive, how you drive, and what you own before recommending a coverage level — because the right answer isn't the same for every driver.
Coverage we help clients evaluate:
- Liability coverage (bodily injury and property damage)
- Collision coverage for damage to your own vehicle
- Comprehensive coverage for theft, weather, and non-collision events
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist protection
- Medical payments coverage
- Roadside assistance and rental reimbursement
Bundle Your Home and Auto — and See What You Save
If you're insuring your home and your vehicles through different companies, you're likely leaving a multi-policy discount unclaimed. Bundling home and auto insurance with a single carrier is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your total premium without reducing your protection.
We'll run the comparison both ways — bundled and separate — so you can see the actual difference before you decide. Independent agents can do this across multiple carriers. A captive agent can only show you one company's bundle.
When Something Goes Wrong, We Pick Up the Phone
Filing a claim through a 1-800 number with a company that doesn't know your name is a frustrating experience. It's also common. As your independent agent, we advocate for you when a claim is in process — not for the carrier. We've been handling claims for this community for over 70 years, and we know how to navigate the process on your behalf.
That's not something a national call center can offer. It's something a local agency earns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Insurance in Indiana
How do I compare car insurance rates in Indiana with an independent agent?
Call or visit Ci Insurance and we'll gather basic information about your vehicle, driving history, and current coverage. From there, we compare rates across multiple top-rated carriers and walk you through the options side by side. One conversation replaces hours of individual calls to separate companies.What are Indiana's minimum auto insurance requirements?
Indiana requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident in bodily injury liability, plus $25,000 in property damage liability. These are legal minimums — not coverage recommendations. Many drivers benefit from higher limits depending on their assets and risk exposure.Is it worth bundling home and auto insurance?
For most homeowners, yes. Multi-policy discounts can meaningfully reduce your total premium, and having both policies with one carrier simplifies billing and claims. As an independent agency, we compare bundled rates across multiple carriers — not just one — so you can see whether bundling actually saves you money in your specific situation.What's the difference between an independent agent and a captive agent for car insurance?
A captive agent represents one company and can only offer that company's products. An independent agent like Ci Insurance works with multiple carriers and shops your coverage across all of them. That means more options, an honest comparison, and no incentive to steer you toward a product that isn't the right fit.Will Ci Insurance help me if I need to file a claim?
Yes. As your independent agent, we advocate for you throughout the claims process — not for the carrier. We've been handling claims for drivers across Jasper County and Northwest Indiana for over 70 years, and we're reachable by phone when you need us.
