Utah minimum coverage: 30/65/25

Utah requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:

Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $25,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.

Split format: increased from 25/65/15 effective Jan 1, 2025 (HB 113) — unusual $65k per-accident BI; no-fault state, $3k PIP required; $80k single-limit alternative.

Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.

Utah questions, answered

Why is car insurance in Utah expensive?

Rates in Utah run about 10% above the national average, at about $89/mo for liability and $219/mo for full coverage. Traffic density, weather claims, repair costs, and uninsured drivers all feed into local pricing, and comparing 3 or more quotes is the fastest way to come in under the state average.

What happens if I drive uninsured in Utah?

Penny read the statutes: fines, license and registration suspension, SR-22 filing requirements, and reinstatement fees, with exact amounts set by Utah law. Her math holds in all 50 states: a minimum-coverage policy costs less than the penalties. Verify specifics with the Utah Department of Insurance.
