Virginia car insurance

Getting car insurance in Virginia

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.
