Is car insurance mandatory in every state?
Do I need auto insurance no matter where I move in the U.S.?
Alexah Grinnell · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“That is a great question!
All but two states, Virginia and New Hampshire, require that you carry car insurance on a registered vehicle.
In the case of
Virginia
, there is a yearly $500 uninsured vehicle fee. It will not cover you if there’s an accident.Each state has its own specific requirements for minimum coverage needed to be compliant with state law. Even though car insurance is not required in Virginia and New Hampshire, it’s still recommended.
Make sure your coverage adheres to your state’s standards. If you want cheap car insurance quotes fast to ensure your coverage matches with your state’s laws, go to
