Akron home insurance costs $590-$1,540/year—40% below national average. Learn about lake-effect snow coverage, mine subsidence requirements, and saving money.
The average cost for full coverage auto insurance in Akron is $1,510 per year, or about $126 per month. However, rates vary significantly based on your driving record, age, credit score, and coverage level. You can find basic liability coverage starting around $21-24 per month with providers like Nationwide or American Family, while comprehensive full coverage from Grange Insurance averages $1,027 annually.
Ohio requires all drivers to carry liability insurance with minimums of 25/50/25. This means $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for all injuries combined, and $25,000 for property damage. These are bare minimums that haven't kept pace with medical costs and vehicle prices, so most experts recommend higher limits to protect your assets.
Homeowners insurance in Akron ranges dramatically from around $590 per year with budget-friendly carriers like Farmers and American Family to over $4,500 with others. State Farm offers competitive rates at approximately $1,540 annually. The wide variation depends on your home's age, condition, coverage limits, and claims history.
Standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage. If you live near the Cuyahoga River or Little Cuyahoga River, or in areas with poor drainage, you should consider flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Your insurance agent can help determine your flood risk based on FEMA flood maps for Summit County.
Akron faces lake effect snow with 3-6 inch accumulations and winds up to 50 mph in winter, plus spring and summer severe thunderstorms that can bring tornadoes, hail, and damaging straight-line winds. Your homeowners policy should cover wind damage, hail damage, and water damage from ice dams. Consider adding comprehensive coverage to your auto policy for weather-related vehicle damage.
Local independent agents offer personalized service and understand Summit County's specific risks, weather patterns, and coverage needs. They can compare multiple carriers at once, bundle policies for discounts of 15-25%, and advocate for you during claims. The Allen Thomas Group, for example, has a 93% recommendation rate among Akron residents for their local expertise and customer service.
