What are Connecticut's auto insurance requirements?
Connecticut drivers are required to have car insurance. The minimum car insurance requirements that Connecticut residents must carry include auto liability coverage limits of at least:
- $25,000 in bodily injury per person
- $50,000 in total bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 in property damage per accident
Connecticut also requires uninsured/underinsured bodily injury coverage (UM/UIM BI), with the following minimum limits:
- UM/UIM BI: $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist coverage covers medical expenses for you and your passengers if a driver with insufficient coverage or no insurance at all runs into you.
While these are the minimum coverages in Connecticut, you may want to consider increasing your auto liability insurance limits to protect your assets.
Do you need comprehensive and collision coverage?
If you have a car lease or loan, lenders will typically require comprehensive and collision coverage. But even if you own your vehicle outright, these car insurance coverages may be worthwhile for protecting your vehicle against physical damage, vandalism, and theft.
