What are the minimum car insurance coverage requirements and limits in Missouri?

Missouri is an at-fault accident state, meaning that the driver responsible for the automobile accident is responsible for any damage that had been caused. This is why minimum coverage is usually required by each state, because there is an increased chance of a driver having to file an insurance claim.

Missouri drivers are required to purchase a minimum liability insurance policy, bodily injury coverage, and property damage coverage, which provides coverage for damages and injuries to the other vehicle and its occupants in an at-fault accident, but only up to your policy's limits.

And uninsured motorist coverage, which protects you if you are hit by an uninsured driver, an underinsured driver, or a hit-and-run driver. Please note that uninsured motorist coverage does not cover vehicle damage after an accident has occurred.

In addition to considering policy limits, Mississippi drivers also should consider adding some of the optional coverages available in the state, such as collision insurance and comprehensive insurance. These coverages will help pay for damages to your vehicle in an accident you cause, or damages to your vehicle from non-accident-related damages, such as vandalism or hail.

Auto insurance coverage can be split up into types, if that helps you to think about them as separate pieces of one giant policy. When you're given auto insurance quotes, agents can tick each box that you're interested in to generate your pricing. You can learn more about these car insurance coverages and other optional coverages by reading our car insurance guide.

Mississippi state minimum requirements:

Liability:

  • $25,000 for bodily injury/death of one person in an accident caused by the driver of the insured vehicle
  • $50,000 for total bodily injury or death liability in an accident caused by the driver of the insured car
  • $10,000 for property damage per accident caused by the driver of the insured car

Uninsured motorist:

  • $25,000 in bodily injury per person
  • $50,000 in bodily injury per accident

Bodily injury liability provides coverage for injuries sustained by the other vehicle's driver and passengers if you are held responsible for an accident. This coverage car insurance also kicks in to defend you in the event of any legal claims.

Property damage liability provides coverage in the event you damage someone else's property in a car accident, most commonly the other vehicle, but also things like a home or fence.

You are also required to have proof of insurance on you at all times. Whether you have your insurance card in your phone, wallet, or glove box. Getting caught without proof of insurance will result in a hefty ticket.

Think about what additional coverage you may want to include within your coverage policy, based on where you live and how much you drive. Your coverage rates may increase depending on how much protection you opt in for, but having that safety net that will catch you can be a big financial help.

What is Missouri’s uninsured motorist percentage?

Uninsured motorist coverage, which protects you if you are hit by uninsured driver, an underinsured driver, or a hit-and-run driver, is not a required coverage in Mississippi.

But drivers would be wise to add it, as a staggering 23.7 percent of Mississippi drivers are without insurance — the second highest of any state — according to 2015 data from the Insurance Information Institute. High-risk drivers such as these are the ones who end up causing financial stress on other drivers. If you don't have sufficient liability per accident coverage, you may end up with their medical bill looming over your head.

This is why it's important to not only understand the types of coverage that exist, but also what would be the best to include in your auto policy. Find competitive rates if your current insurer isn't offering you enough coverage per accident at a low cost. Or ask if there are any insurance discounts that you're eligible for, to offset the cost of adding on additional coverage.

How are car insurance rates calculated in Missouri?

When searching and comparing quotes from the best auto insurance companies in Missouri, it can be frustrating trying to understand how your insurance rates are calculated. Especially when the annual rates seem to fluctuate between companies. While there is no exact formula that each car insurance company uses when providing you an insurance quote, there are many factors that do contribute to the price you pay for your insurance. Among the factors that car insurers consider are:

  • Your driving record (individuals with a clean driving record will pay less for an insurance policy)
  • How much you drive
  • Location
  • Age
  • Marital status
  • Gender
  • Your car’s make, model and year
  • Your credit history
  • Amount of car insurance coverage (required coverage and optional add-ons, such as collision and comprehensive)

One of the biggest misunderstandings when it comes to insurance rates is that the history of drivers in your area also contributes to how much you pay. For instance, even if you go two years without an accident, if there were a lot of accidents near you recently, your rates might still go up. Why is that the case?

Insurance companies disperse risk across all policyholders so that when it comes time to pay a claim, they have enough money to pay out. But imagine a scenario where they only raised rates for drivers with an accident. For drivers who had an expensive claim, the drivers simply wouldn't be able to afford the raised rates that are based off how much their insurer had to pay after an accident. So instead, insurance companies slightly increase rates across the board to offset the costs, though of course the at-fault driver may see a larger increase.

How can you save money on your car insurance in Missouri?

At the end of the day, we'd all like to have the best, affordable car insurance coverage from one of the best Missouri car insurance companies. While you never want to sacrifice quality to save a couple of dollars, there are some different ways you can lower your car insurance premium.

Here are six ways you may be able to lower your car insurance rates:

  • Bundle your car insurance with other policies
  • Consider raising your deductibles
  • Pay your car insurance policy in full
  • Try usage-based car insurance
  • Monitor price changes to your policy
  • Shop for better insurance rates

You can also talk to your insurance agent about what your state's insurance requirements are, and see if there are any course you can take to help lower the cost of insurance that you need. This could include taking a defensive driving course, or mentioning that you would like to improve your driving habits. Even drivers with traffic tickets in their history have the ability to lower their rates.
