Auto Insurance in Minneapolis and Hennepin County
MnDOT data flags a 1.7-mile stretch of westbound I-94 between 11th Avenue and the Lowry Hill Tunnel as the highest-crash segment in the entire state, averaging 4.81 crashes per million vehicle miles traveled — roughly one crash every two days. The I-35W to westbound I-94 merge is also a well-known bottleneck for Minneapolis commuters.
Minnesota ranks among the higher-incidence states for deer-vehicle collisions nationally, though risk is generally lower in Minneapolis's dense urban core than in exurban or rural areas. Historically, Minneapolis has also had Minnesota's highest vehicle-theft rate — NICB data from 2017 recorded 8,472 vehicles stolen citywide (235.3 per 100,000 residents), with the Honda Civic the most-stolen model statewide; more recent 2026 data shows over 1,300 vehicles stolen through mid-March alone, roughly 5 times the rate seen in neighboring St. Paul.
