Who sets the rules

Each state's Department of Insurance sets minimum liability limits and reviews rate filings. Requirements in one state tell you nothing about the next.

Common additional requirements

Some states require personal injury protection, some require uninsured motorist coverage, and a few allow alternatives to a traditional policy.

Proof of insurance

Most states require proof to register a vehicle or at a traffic stop, and many verify electronically with insurers.

Where to confirm current limits

Check your own state's Department of Insurance website, or ask the licensed agent on your call — they quote to the current requirements for your state.
