General Information
Utah’s Minimum Car Insurance Coverage
- Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 per person and $65,000 per accident+
- Property Damage Liability: $15,000 per accident+
- Personal Injury Protection: $3,000 per accident#
- Uninsured Motorist: $25,000 per person and $65,000 per accident*

+Liability coverage through each policy has a minimum requirement based on your state of residence. You can choose your level of coverage. However, with lower coverage, you have lower premiums but this provides less protection in the case of a severe accident. Higher coverage will give you much greater financial protection but may not fit within your budget.
*Utah law does not require you to purchase uninsured motorists or underinsured motorist coverage. However, if you do purchase such coverage, Utah law requires that you buy at least $25,000 per person or $65,000 per accident.
All Utah drivers must carry proof of auto insurance and present it to any law enforcement officer upon request.
#Personal Injury Protection comes with every auto insurance policy in Utah regardless of coverages. As long as you have auto insurance, PIP is available to you.
Overall with insurance policies, your premium can be affected by the type of vehicle you are driving, the area you live in, your driving record, your age, and marital status, as well as other factors.
