Know the minimum insurance you need in Pennsylvania

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

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

While these limits meet Pennsylvania’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 Pennsylvania

Your car’s trim level plays a big role in determining your insurance premium. Insurers consider the vehicle’s value, repair costs, safety features and theft risk when setting rates. Higher trims with upgraded technology or powerful engines often have higher premiums since they’re more expensive to repair or replace.

For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $2,846 per year to insure in Pennsylvania, whereas the EX-L trim costs $2,506, a difference of $340 annually.

Trims that include luxury upgrades, like a premium sound system, often cost more to insure because they raise the vehicle’s overall value. Similarly, performance-focused trims with larger engines may increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
