Minimum Coverage Requirements in Vermont

The state mandates SR-22 filing for DUI convictions, license suspensions for violations, at-fault accidents without insurance, and accumulating multiple serious offenses. SR-22 filing typically lasts 3 years from the date of reinstatement. Uninsured motorist coverage is also required at 50/100/10 unless you reject it in writing.

Bodily Injury Liability

Vermont's 25/50 minimums are among the lowest in the Northeast and inadequate for most accident scenarios. Post-SR22 drivers often face elevated scrutiny in claims processes, making higher limits — 100/300 or beyond — essential protection against personal asset exposure.

Property Damage Liability

Vermont does not limit your financial responsibility to policy minimums; you remain personally liable for all damages you cause.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage protects you when hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver — critical for post-SR22 drivers who cannot afford another at-fault claim on their record.

Full Coverage

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive covers non-collision damage — deer strikes, weather damage, theft, and vandalism common in Vermont's rural areas. Vermont sees over 3,000 deer-vehicle collisions annually, making comprehensive coverage particularly relevant for drivers in rural counties like Essex, Orleans, and Caledonia.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Current carrier's post-SR22 rating structure — some carriers reduce rates faster than others after filing ends
  • Claims history during SR-22 period — maintaining a claim-free record accelerates rate recovery
  • Credit-based insurance score — Vermont allows credit factors, which heavily influence post-SR22pricing
