Virginia auto insurance

Auto insurance in Virginia, explained in plain English.

Virginia drivers need more than a policy number. You need liability limits that make sense, coverage for your own vehicle when it matters, and a team that can help you compare options without turning the process into homework.

Virginia limits

Virginia auto insurance minimum limits

For policies effective on or after Jan. 1, 2025, Virginia lists these minimum liability insurance limits. These are minimum requirements, not a recommendation for every driver.

CoverageMinimum limit
Injury or death of one person$50,000
Injury or death of two or more people$100,000
Property damage$25,000

Minimum limits can leave gaps after a serious accident. We can help you compare higher liability limits, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, and umbrella protection.

Auto FAQs

Common Virginia auto insurance questions

Are Virginia minimum limits enough?

They satisfy minimum requirements, but they may not be enough after a serious accident. We can show you the cost difference for higher limits.

Do I need comprehensive and collision?

If you finance or lease a vehicle, your lender usually requires physical damage coverage. Even if you own the car outright, it may still make sense depending on the value of the vehicle.

Can you help if I have multiple cars or drivers?

Yes. We can collect vehicle and driver details and review the best way to quote the household.
