Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements in Virginia

The state sets minimum auto insurance requirements for all Virginia drivers. Here’s the coverage you need to legally drive in the Old Dominion:

Minimum bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

  • This coverage pays for others’ medical expenses if you’re responsible for the accident.

Property damage liability (PD): $20,000 per accident

  • PD helps pay repair costs if you damage another person’s vehicle or property.

Penalties for Driving Without Auto Insurance in Virginia

Virginia is one of the few states that doesn’t require citizens to have auto insurance to legally drive. If you opt out of car insurance, you must pay the $500 Uninsured Motor Vehicle (UMV) fee every time your vehicle registration expires. Be aware that this fee doesn’t provide you with any insurance coverage. 

If you don’t pay for auto insurance or the UMV fee, serious penalties may occur. These punishments include a Class 3 misdemeanor conviction, a fine up to $500, and a driver’s license and license plate suspension. You may also need to file an SR-22 form — a certificate proving to the state you have auto insurance — for three years.
