Quick tip: Review your state’s minimum insurance requirements before choosing a policy

Each state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and New York is no different. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which generally includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits offer the minimum coverage, but many drivers choose higher coverage to protect themselves after an accident.

Driving without the required coverage in New York can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.
