What is the average cost of car insurance in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin drivers paid an average of $821 a year for full coverage (liability, collision and comprehensive) in 2020, according to the most recent data available from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). That’s well below the national average of $1,176 per year for coverage, the NAIC report shows. Keep in mind that insurance premiums in most states have changed since then. Your cost will also depend on how much coverage you choose, as well as your driving history, the car you drive and other factors.
