Coverage designed with you in mind
When it comes to auto insurance, every state is different. Unlike most states, Virginia law does not require drivers to purchase auto insurance coverage. However, drivers without car insurance must pay an uninsured motorist vehicle fee upon renewal of their vehicle registration with the state each year. Uninsured drivers in Virginia are personally responsible for medical bills or property damage expenses incurred after a car accident.
Finding the right car insurance for you means staying up to date on Virginia requirements. The table below lists the coverages and minimum coverage limits that are required in Virginia. Keep in mind, however, that minimum coverage limits are just a starting point. You may want to consider increasing your coverage limits for greater protection.
