It's optional to have car insurance in Virginia. However, you must pay the $500 Uninsured Motor Vehicle (UMV) fee to drive without auto insurance legally. This UMV fee, which doesn't provide you with any insurance coverage, is due every time your registration expires.

Mercury strongly recommends getting car insurance. If you decide insure your car, here's the minimum insurance coverage you need:

  • Bodily injury per person — $25,000
  • Bodily injury per accident — $50,000
  • Property damage per accident — $20,000

You could face several penalties if you don't insure your car or pay the UMV fee. These punishments include a Class 3 misdemeanor conviction, a fine of up to $500, and a driver's license and license plate suspension. You may also need to file an SR-22 form for three years. This form proves to the state that you carry auto insurance. Keep your insurance card in your vehicle at all times to avoid these repercussions.

About Richmond, Virginia

Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The present city of Richmond was founded in 1737. It became the capital of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia in 1780. During the Revolutionary War period, several notable events occurred in Richmond, including Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775 at St. John's Church, and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1779—the latter of which was written by Thomas Jefferson while in the city. During the American Civil War, Richmond served as the capital of the Confederate States of America, and many important American Civil War landmarks remain in the city, including the Virginia State Capitol and the White House of the Confederacy.
