State Insurance FAQ
Why does my state affect my price so much?
Each state has different laws regarding litigation, medical costs, and minimum coverage limits. Additionally, states with higher density or weather risks often have higher baseline costs.
What is a "No-Fault" state?
In no-fault states, your own insurance pays for minor medical bills regardless of fault. This typically requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which can increase premiums.
Can I buy insurance from a different state to save money?
No. You must insure your vehicle in the state where you primarily reside and park the car. Insuring elsewhere can be considered fraud.
What are state minimums?
State minimums are the lowest liability limits you can legally carry. Example: 25/50/25 means $25k per person, $50k per accident, and $25k property damage.
