Know the minimum insurance you need in Maine

Every state has specific car insurance requirements. In Maine, you must carry at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally, which generally includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident

While these limits meet Maine’s legal requirements, many drivers choose higher coverage for greater financial security after an accident. Failing to maintain the required insurance can lead to penalties such as fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Maine

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in Maine, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $2,570 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $2,170 annually – a difference of $400 per year.

Luxury features like high-end sound systems or advanced infotainment can increase insurance rates, since they add to the car’s value. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines often increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
