Auto Insurance in Vermont: What You Need to Know

If you drive a car or truck in Vermont, you need to have auto insurance. It's the law! Insurance helps protect you and others in case of an accident.

What Kind of Insurance Do I Need?

In Vermont, you must have the following minimum amounts of insurance:

  • Bodily injury liability coverage: This covers injuries to other people in an accident you cause. You need:

    • $25,000 per person  

    • $50,000 per accident

  • Property damage liability coverage: This covers damage to other people's property in an accident you cause. You need:

    • $10,000

  • Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage: This protects you if you're hit by a driver who doesn't have insurance. You need:

    • $50,000 per person

    • $100,000 per accident

  • Uninsured motorist property damage coverage: This protects your car if it's damaged by a driver who doesn't have insurance. You need:

    • $10,000 with a $150 deductible

It’s important to note that these are minimum legal requirements for car insurance in Vermont. Talk to one of our expert agents to figure out what additional coverage might make sense for you. 


What About Other Types of Insurance?

While not required by law, other types of car insurance can be helpful:

  • Comprehensive insurance: This covers damage to your car from things like theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.  

  • Collision insurance: This covers damage to your car in an accident, regardless of who is at fault.
