Indiana just earned some major bragging rights! WalletHub ranked the state as the third-best in the country for drivers, thanks to solid road quality, reasonable traffic, and driver-friendly laws. For Hoosiers, especially those of us who spend a good chunk of our day behind the wheel, this recognition highlights some of the perks of living in the Crossroads of America.

One big factor that makes driving in Indiana a breeze is convenience. The state is packed with gas stations, auto dealerships, repair shops, and car washes, so no matter where you are, it’s easy to keep your car in top shape. On top of that, Hoosier drivers save money. Car insurance rates, maintenance costs, and vehicle operating expenses are all lower here compared to many other states. That means more money stays in your pocket for things that really matter.

Kansas and Idaho snagged the top two spots on the list, but when you compare Indiana to states ranked at the bottom—like Hawaii, Washington, and Montana—it’s clear we’ve got it pretty good. Those states are dealing with issues like high costs and bad traffic, while Indiana’s well-maintained roads and affordable driving costs keep us cruising smoothly.

For young  professionals navigating daily commutes, road trips, or weekend adventures, this ranking confirms something we already knew: Indiana is built for drivers. Whether you’re heading to a new opportunity or just rolling to your favorite spot, Indiana’s roads are here to make the journey a little easier.
