Minimum Coverage Requirements in Minnesota

The state also mandates uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage at the same 30/60/10 limits, though drivers can reject this in writing. SR-22 filing is typically required for DUI convictions, driving without insurance, multiple violations within a short period, and license reinstatement after suspension. The SR-22 requirement usually lasts 3 years from the date of filing, during which your insurer continuously certifies coverage to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services.

Bodily Injury Liability

Carriers view higher liability limits favorably during the rate recovery period, sometimes qualifying you for better tier placement than drivers who maintain only state minimums.

Property Damage Liability

This is especially important during the rate recovery period when another at-fault accident would reset your timeline and tier placement with most carriers.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Minnesota is one of few states that requires uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits as liability unless you explicitly reject it in writing.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, hail, animal strikes, and glass damage—common risks in Minnesota's winter climate and rural areas. Maintaining continuous comprehensive coverage throughout your SR-22 period and beyond demonstrates responsibility to underwriters, sometimes accelerating your tier improvement by 6–12 months with carriers that tier based on coverage history.

Full Coverage (Liability + Comprehensive + Collision)

Maintaining full coverage without lapses during and after SR-22 signals financial stability and responsibility, which most carriers reward with faster tier advancement than drivers who carry only minimums.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Underlying violation type: DUI-related SR-22s typically carry surcharges 2–3 years longer than SR-22s for license suspension due to unpaid tickets
  • Coverage continuity: even a single 1–2 day lapse after SR-22 ends can reset your rate tier with some carriers or disqualify you from preferred programs
